Great review! I just bought a 2019 Challenger SXT V6 because Dodge is giving such insane end of year deals right now. I got it with Sirius radio and one year subscription and the whole thing was marked down from 31K to 21K. You cannot beat that deal!
@High Rez Just search online for Challenger 99 a month lease and see what comes up. It may not be available in all areas and it also may have only been for a limited time.
Thank you for this! I bought this today, kinda on a whim... so you def helped confirm I made a good decision, lol! It drives so well! I’m very impressed!
I hope Dodge hears me, not all of us want a V8 or a pathetic turbo charged 4 cylinder car. Some of us want something in the middle, namely a V6. Thank you Dodge, for making this option available, and also thank you for not following the current trend of ' overstying ', the Challenger looks fan - freakin - tastic just the way it is. It hasn't changed its looks because IT DOESN'T NEED TO, and as soon as my current car craps out, I plan to make the Dodge Challenger SXT my next new car.
I have the same fact same black 2019 challenger. This guys is underselling it. It took a 30 min test drive to go wow this is so much more car than a mustang or Camaro. I drove all 3 before picking the challenger. I put a ram air on it and a borla cat back. It now puts out 340 at rear wheels and is fast. Fast enough I got a 1200 speeding ticket and I’m a firefighter but they said screw you we don’t care about you guys around here. That’s Holly Springs Ga if your wondering. Trust me you don’t need a hemi unless something is really small between your legs like the Vette drivers. It’s fast enough and super nice for the money. The build quality’s out the roof compared to the dodge of 20 years ago.
Come on I'm not under selling it I said I think it's a great car! I like the style, I like the room, I like that six-cylinder engine and think it has just the right amount of power and I think it's a great bargain.
Just picked up a '19 SXT Plus AWD in Sublime. Love that color and the car is more than I could ask for. Great ride comfort and good enough power for my needs. Dodge is doing a great job with these cars giving trim levels to meet many different needs.
These are good cars for the money. I bought an new '18 SXT last year and now have over 34,000 miles on it with no regrets. The car is smooth and quiet, comfortable for long drives , and has plenty of room. The interior is very nice for a base model car and the V6 has plenty of power for the highway . I get 26.5 mpg in town and 30mpg if I drive 70 or under on the highway. Just a fun car to drive even with the V6.
I agree! I drove it from LA to Santa Barbara and back and loved how smooth and how quiet it was. And yes, you can't beat the mileage, for a car with decent room inside. Thanks for watching and enjoy it!
I've been eyeing this car for some time now, and I hope to make it my first ever big car purchase. Now I'm 18 so it may take a little bit, but It's an amazing car in both function & looks. It is well worth the price and the wait to get one. 😁
@@FreddySherman Wow thanks for the reply. 😁 (sorry to ramble by the way) Sadly I live in Missouri so I can't take advantage of that lease, however I do live very near to a ford dealer so hopefully I can work something out there. I'm looking to get a custom one with an F8 green paint job, granite aluminum wheels, tan NAPA leather interior, plus package, and driver convenience package. The website estimates it at around $34, 975. Hopefully I can work something out with a dealer near me. Any tips for getting something like that done, or at least making the process easier?
@@badoobles Sounds like you're already doing research which is good. Arm yourself with all the prices, remember the Dodge website shows retail pricing, you need to find the wholesale cost and negotiate from that. Biggest tip is be a hard ass, fight them for your money. Be prepared to walk out and find a few dealers to deal with so you can pit them against each other. Don't be afraid to check dealers a bit far away from you, you can do a lot of the negotiation via email and phone. They may make u a better deal to get you to drive out to them. Never let them push you and again, be prepared to get up and walk out. Look into alternative financing from your local bank or credit union. Rates are usually better. You can apply for a loan with the credit union and walk into the dealership and negotiate as if you're paying cash.
@@Timkbthesecond I love the wheels I have. The 5 spoke wheels are so much better than the spider web that SxT plus and RT get. Hate to say. But if and when I ever go to an RT or ET (Electric model) we all know it’s being worked on right now. It’s gonna have to have some old school classic muscle rims. And the only car to keep that on the Challenger line was the SXT
Decent review! I love my 2018 sxt! The hood is not a shaker hood though, but the air vents are definitely functional on this trim. Nice to see some great feedback for us v6 lovers 😁👍
Bought my pretty black one in August and I love it love it love it. I heard some bad things about Dodge. But you’ve reassured me about my purchase. Thank You
Luxury Fred Yes I did. I actually just brought her back from a road trip NY-FL and back and I had no issues at all. Not to mention I was surprised at her pick up. Thanks again for the review
I didn't even know they had them in AWD, this was RWD. The prices for the base model are amazing, someone commented they just got one for $10K off list. I also see them for $99 a month lease here in CA.
@@FreddySherman I didn't know either until I looked online at a local dealership I really want a stang but it snows alot in the midwest awd is a must 28 k isn't bad at all
Mustang is a toy car. Drive a mustang then a challenger and you will know which one has the better build quality. Challengers slower due to weighing around 4800 pounds but it’s a real car not cheap. My dad has a mustang GT and that damn thing beats the hell out of you on every bump. If you want a quick car with attitude and rides great on long trips don’t get a stand or a Camaro get a challenger. Plus the throw back muscle car look just looks so classic you can’t beat it. Watch Vanishing Point and it just makes you want to hop in your challenger and just ride😁😁big smile when I drive mine. It’s a car from a era that is as awsome.
That’s because all 2018 Vehicles are now required by law to have back up cameras and challengers have the cameras on the spoilers so that’s why he has one my 2017 didn’t come with one either
@@FreddySherman The Shaker is a specific Chrysler feature (though similar intakes exist on 70's Ford and GM cars as well) from the original generation of muscle cars, with the 'Shaker" itself being a cap attached to the air cleaner/intake of the engine and protruding through a hole in the hood. As the engine vibrates during idling and leans over during hard acceleration, you can see it move through the hood. The idea is that it's an integrated cold air intake. It doesn't add much performance, but it looks cool and it signals to other drivers that you've bought a "performance" version of your Challenger or 'Cuda.
Nothing fancy but it is comfortable and functional. Remember this is the very base model. You can get much fancier sports seats with all kinds of leather in the more expensive trims and models.
Luxury Fred A shaker scoop (sometimes called a shaker hood scoop or a shaker hood) is an automobile term for an air intake for combustion air that is mounted directly on top of the engine's air cleaner and protrudes through a hole in the hood.
As I said in the video, just a quick review of a rental car. I spend more time on the formal reviews when given press cars to drive for more time. Thanks for watching.

You are a smart car buyer!! I've seen them offering $99 a month leases too. Enjoy it, it's a great car, especially for the price.
@High Rez Just search online for Challenger 99 a month lease and see what comes up. It may not be available in all areas and it also may have only been for a limited time.
I just picked one up a week ago for Black Friday, payed 21k too. I felt like I payed too much. But now, I have no regrets. I love my car!
@@theKODFATHER1 COngrats, I think you got a great car and a great deal!
Huntington Beach Dodge has this on sale, with discounts for $16500
Thank you for this! I bought this today, kinda on a whim... so you def helped confirm I made a good decision, lol! It drives so well! I’m very impressed!
Thanks for watching. So smooth and quiet, right??? I really liked it. Congrats and enjoy it.
Itsyagirl_Quitta what color I have the red blacktop package
This is one of my dream cars but I heard they have bad blind spots. Is it hard to see when you’re changing lanes?
@@bryce3956 yeah when you get into the right lane.

I agree. And it's a powerful V6, almost V8 power. I also like the SXT's subtle style and so, so quiet inside! Thanks for watching.

I just bought a 2020 Challenger SXT in f8 green yesterday! I love it! I’m going to get some mods on it. Great vid.
Thanks for watching. I think it's a great car. May I ask how much you paid? What kind of mods, a new exhaust system?
I just bought sxt 2019 dark green I'm very happy with it
Very cool choice, enjoy it!

I just bought one. Destroyer Gray 19, perfect car for me and the kid and wife.

Thank you very much for watching the video. I was very impressed with the car!
and especially the V6!!!
Awesome car..the body lines are still reminicent of the early '70s models.
I agree, one of the few modern, retro muscle cars that really looks good and like the original model.Thanks for watching.
Bought my pretty black one in August and I love it love it love it. I heard some bad things about Dodge. But you’ve reassured me about my purchase. Thank You
It's got a warranty, how can you go wrong for that price?? Thanks for watching and have fun with the Challenger!! Did you get the SXT?
Luxury Fred Yes I did. I actually just brought her back from a road trip NY-FL and back and I had no issues at all. Not to mention I was surprised at her pick up. Thanks again for the review
@@Phantomcuffs Very cool!
Great review sir.
Thank you for watching it. I really liked the car.
Great video bro, I'm about to do review on it also.
Cool, leave another comment with the link when it's finished so I can check it out.
Those aren't shaker hood vents, they're just the standard hood vents. And they are active on all models including SXT.
Are you sure they're real on the SXT? I thought they were just cosmetic. Thank you for watching and for your comment
@@FreddySherman yeah they're real. If you open the hood you'll see. I have one
@@CharlotteSmoothie thank you for the info. I didn't open the hood!
I'm in the market for a mustang and I'm starting to look at these challengers because of the awd
I didn't even know they had them in AWD, this was RWD. The prices for the base model are amazing, someone commented they just got one for $10K off list. I also see them for $99 a month lease here in CA.

@@garydobbs5159 got a stang no regrets
Play in 1.5x speed, you are welcome
Thanks for the tip!
Is the convenience package available to purchase on the side
That I do not know. I would check dodge.com and try to configure a car to see what's available and what it costs. Thank you for watching.
The SXT has a rear spoiler now? My 2016 doesn’t.
Looks like it. This was a rental car so it's the base model. Thank you for watching.
That’s because all 2018 Vehicles are now required by law to have back up cameras and challengers have the cameras on the spoilers so that’s why he has one my 2017 didn’t come with one either
@@Hunter42392 I thought they were all required to have them. Is it for 2019?
Maybe that was the SXT Plus? By my memory the Plus’ did have a camera
@@Mike-Strong I don't think this was a Plus, just the basic model.
you should let me borrow this bro.
Bro, it was a rental, head over to National and get yourself one for a few days.
Compared to Toyota concerned about reliability, but looks very cool!
It's got a good warranty and good reliability and build quality, but you won't get 250K+ trouble-free miles like you will with a Toyota.
Luxury Fred Saw some 2019 posts that concerned me but from 2016 all good reviews.
@@joeddejohn You mean more complaints about the 2019s than the 2016 models? Thats interesting.
Luxury Fred Yes but I only looked at 10 reviews on one site. Still not encouraging. The thing I like is what you say about background noise.
@@joeddejohn I agree. Even two or three with the same complaint is disturbing.
Can you please talk about the car?
In the future? You know this isn't a live video, right? Thanks for watching!
😂😂
No paddle shifters?
Not on this base-level model. There's probably an option package that includes them.
I notice lots of blacks in tv commercials these days
Perhaps you should get a color TV set.
We're all people, black, white, ASian, Mexican, right?
👍👍👍
Thanks Shift!
That's not a shaker hood. Just so ya know.
It's a simulated one, right? The higher performance models have the active one.

Full review?? What happened to the test drive?????????? Not full review!!!!!!!!!!!!
The test drive was driving it 200 miles back and forth from Palm Springs to Santa Barbara to LA. You don't need to see me driving and talking do you?
love the exterior. hate the interior.
Nothing fancy but it is comfortable and functional. Remember this is the very base model. You can get much fancier sports seats with all kinds of leather in the more expensive trims and models.
WTF same mpg as my chevy sonic...
And way more cool (no disrespect intended).
@@FreddySherman can`t even compare them on the coolness scale :D

Shaker hood is when the air cleaner sticks out and is a separate piece, right?
