I like this lady, Edmund's is what motor trend use to be, a joy to watch and informative. "Not going to line up against a demon. Lining up with a demon now, going to try to beat him." 😁😁😁😁😁
You seem to be well informed about this car. I own a 5.7 Daytona and I’ve raced a Kia stinger and it didn’t out run me but I didn’t out run it so the stinger is not a competitor to the 392.
I have this exact car in a MY2017. Everything you've said about it is exactly true. I've personally pulled the same test numbers as your team and it's consistant. I've been on three 13hr road trips in the 14 months I've had the car and it was extremely comfortable and trunk space is amazing. The last trip was three adults, 13.5hrs straight with a full trunk and a trip average of 28mpg. Best car I've ever owned It's fun, comfortable, spacious and performs wonderfully.
If I needed a V8 four door sedan that was also fun to drive, this would be it. Ford could learn a lot from Dodge, as they have nothing in their vehicle lineup that even compares to this.
I own a 392 Daytona and love it. Yea, the interior is basic but I like that. And she's right, it's comfortable. This woman does a great job. There should be more like her.
I was gonna say bring Carlos back because everyone else is boring but each time I watch a review with this presenter I'm like wow she really knows her stuff and very relaxed while doing it. Great review and you've a new fan
Thank you for this review you made me want to get the Dodge Charger Daytona 392 for my next car option for sure. And you added the drag racing in your review which really helped to see how fast the car can go.
The stinger gt and charger 392 are nothing alike, and the stinger gt is about one full second slower through the quarter as well. @edmunds I have a lot of experience with both cars since I’ve work at both Kia and mopar dealerships
The Charger and the Stinger aren't that comparable. The Charger is a true full-size car. The Stinger is barely even a mid-size car, and that's because the Kia has a disproportionately large cargo area for it's small passenger area. Interior room-wise, footprint-wise, the comparison isn't even close, the Charger is just more car.
Purists will hate me for saying this but I think it would be awesome if Dodge made this available in AWD in their higher trim levels for us in cold weather, and think of the acceleration with that traction!
I would buy the charger if I was younger and had a vehicle for winter but since I have 2 car seats 30yrs old ++, I will probably take a stinger and drive it the whole year. That 392 engine engine and exhaust sound though can never be replaced by that v6 turbo.
sadly they dont offer the hemi with AWD anymore i guess the take rate was so low but they were a beast I have a family member that lives in the mountins in PA that has one.
I drove a 392 Charger through 3 winters, all they need is a snow tire package. The cars are tanks, but do not even attempt to winter drive them on the performance tires - it wont even move on snow covered flat ground.
My cousin drives an escape bc he has a child and is 34. It's no bigger than a sedan. He feels he is old so he has to drive a crossover. I'm 32 and have 5 kids and I drive a 300, challenger, and my wife drives a Durango. If I have to I'd fit us in the chrysler. Long story short please don't let your 30+ determine your vehicle.
Acc0rd79 can you imagine how the previous owner never broke it in..... And how many burnouts and donuts they did before you..... And how much were they put on the car......
The 8-speed auto is actually not specific to "Chrysler" or Mopar vehicles. It is the ZF Friedrichshafen 8HP70 transmission which is used in many High end luxury/super cars, such as the Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DB11, Aston Martin Rapide, BMW Alpina B7, Lamborghini Urus, Rolls Royce Ghost, Maserati GranTurismo, Audi A8, and Jaguar F-TYPE SVR, just to name a few.
2019 Charger Daytona 392 has lots of updates dash and every thing is leather, lots of black trim. all set pages. mine is basically a hellcat without the supper charger. and in 2019 Daytona is next one down from hellcat with right options
I like this girl a lot! She's good at reviewing cars and she's very professional. Great job, wish she were doing more reviews because I'm getting tired of a lot of the same old guys.
Good review on a badass car! I prefer the Challenger myself, 392 is the sweet spot. Great courage going it with a Demon, and you beat a lot of cars before it! Good job!
,bull that car is gorgeous. What a KIA ? Now KiA is paying you to sell that Japanese crap. Dodge Charger is bad ass. No questions asked. Rubbery no it is so cool and the stitching is so nice to look at. The power is awesome. The ride is smooth and the gas pedal and brakes are so precise it's amazing. Your political correctness is sickening.
I think people might be persuaded by the awd on the stinger but other than that why would you get the kia over the 6.4 v8 when you mat it and everyone turns their head to see what car is making that huge power roar its worth it. Nobody is gunna bat an eye at a stinger sorry to be blunt but the v6turbo with restrictive soundless exhaust 🥱 people buy sports cars for looks,power,sound and speed if your car isn't ticking all those boxes maybe you should get something more practical
I'm sorry but people say has a lot of plastic. What else can it have if it's not plastic? Steel? Fu*k that. leather? na what is good that wont heat up the car.
Are there even any competitors? Does she know anything about the muscle game lol that thing has so many competitors that each pretty much beat it cool to see tho
She knocks the interior which she's probably right, but, most people who get one aren't concerned about the interior they buy it for whats under the hood.
I like this chick. She’s well versed. Very descriptive. She’s an actual auto enthusiast, not someone trying convince you they like cars.
Steven D I agree. She used to run Roadkill magazine, which I never ready. Kind of wish I would have.
She is a true gearhead who knows her shit.
well she does have big tits too
lol and the million dollar comment drops
and she starts to giggle when she floors it ... grade a waifu material! 👍
Great review. I've been living the Charger 392 life since 2015. Am I the only one that noticed her beautiful hands?
Too busy noticing them jubblies
Great reviewer! Knows her stuff.
Nice review .. Pick up 2018 Scat Pack last month .
I like your reviews
Aren't the 2019 coming out soon !?
The charger interior is basic , but the Kia stinger interior has cheap plastics all over , I'll take the dodge rubber feeling any day !
The Charger's interior starts to peel apart after only 5k miles. stay away
Mines going strong so maybe you saw a lemon?
@@DAVPX that is no true I have mine for over a year and is in a fantastic shape
I didn't know miles put wear on my interior. I'll keep that in mind!
If you live in Arizona maybe
Very well done. Really enjoy female presenter!! More!
the KIA stinger has a horrible interior, the chargers not that bad. but for the quality of the material i don't know never been in either
I like this lady, Edmund's is what motor trend use to be, a joy to watch and informative. "Not going to line up against a demon. Lining up with a demon now, going to try to beat him." 😁😁😁😁😁
I take motortend lost another good person.
john mason greedy bastards
She's a freelance writer so she writes for many publications and websites. She still does work for Hot Rod.
Love Elana, definitely MotorTrend's Loss and a win for Edmunds
Agreed!!!!!
She has really stretched her legs since leaving hotrod and MT. Great review.👍
Compared to all the other guys, This was best car review I’ve seen in years. Kudos
Holy $&@^#^% that demon launch though!!! WTF
Cool review. Her line "heh, heh, heh, awww Hemi..." pretty much said it all.
Man those things are huge.
Definitely one of the bigger performance cars.
Occult Kitty go buy a smart car bro.. and good luck if u get into a wreck..
Yep and is amazing how quick they are for their size, which speaks volumes for the gen3 hemis
💪🏼😎
i love the seatbelt it shows the real big and heavy bumper..lol
Rude Rigo don’t think u need to point that out.
OMG!!! Her laugh is so infectious! I love it! 👍👍🚙❤️❤️
Man she killed that review. Very fun to watch. Im debating if I should get a Scat pack or a Daytona ?!?!!
Excellent review Elana! Loved how thorough you covered the details! Also loved that laugh you had as you had fun accelerating!
ohh my god get me the charger over that wimpy sounding kia!

Daytona 392 Life!
If I needed a V8 four door sedan that was also fun to drive, this would be it. Ford could learn a lot from Dodge, as they have nothing in their vehicle lineup that even compares to this.
I own a 392 Daytona and love it. Yea, the interior is basic but I like that. And she's right, it's comfortable. This woman does a great job. There should be more like her.
Same car, same opinions. Love Elana's review.
Damn, this was a cool video. The drag strip footage was epic.
I like Elana. Glad to see her in front of the camera again
I was gonna say bring Carlos back because everyone else is boring but each time I watch a review with this presenter I'm like wow she really knows her stuff and very relaxed while doing it. Great review and you've a new fan
Because she has a Dodge baby😅
Amazing review! You really demonstrated what the Charger is all about.
Fantastic review ,
I enjoyed watching this very much.

Lama 67 no I agree, they need a similar system to BMW AWD for the M5. A system that would let you go from AWD and switch it to RWD
the Daytona 392 trim comes with AWD and front-axle disconnect.
unless that's not what you want...
Kevin Chan no all the V8's come with RWD only the v6's can come with AWD
source? i looked it up and as far as I can see v8 models are 2wd only
they used to sell RT AWD models sadly they axed it last year
What Charger... She is hot...
spartamississippi big boobs
Wish there was a shitty kia stinger at the strip. Could have destroyed it.
I think your “rental’s” brakes may be well used. The brakes on mine are hyper sensitive, as is the throttle. They match nicely.
So glad you're working with Edmonds now Elana. Your content is top notch!
💙OnlyFan's of Elana would understand her love for big body Mopar's. 💙

WarmSoftKitty who told you that info, you’re dead wrong so stfu and get out of here ! Idiot
just buy a used Hellcat!!!!
Just imagine all the burnouts the pre-owner did, no so good
Acc0rd79 can you imagine how the previous owner never broke it in..... And how many burnouts and donuts they did before you..... And how much were they put on the car......
I was looking for a used Hellcat but it's still 10k more than a new 392 Daytona
Only if you get a nice warranty along with it...
Meh not so much
Awesome review especially the drag race part keep it up
That was super fun to watch!!! I loved watching the Demon beat the Charger, and how you giggled and had fun the whole time! Nice video!
Great review. Love the drag vs the Demon... 'bye....' you made me laugh. Thank you.

I like my charger
You lost me at Kia
Charger for the win
Great review! I own this exact car w every option. Love it. Wish I got the Hellcat...lol
Love the Charger but I got to have a manual. Come on Dodge, at least put one in the Scat Pack.
Comparing the Charger to the Stinger? Did you even sit in a stinger? Good lord that car is TINY in comparison.
LMFAO i would NEVER take a kia over a 392 Charger..it looked like a rice-a-roni faggots car
That Demon race was classic. Very entertaining video. Loved the reviewer.
Nice review!
I liked your review. That was a fun watch! Thank-you!
There’s no car that compares to a charger. You get the most horsepower for cheap the car is reliable and it’s a giant safe tank that’s fast
2019 Charger Daytona 392 has lots of updates dash and every thing is leather, lots of black trim. all set pages. mine is basically a hellcat without the supper charger. and in 2019 Daytona is next one down from hellcat with right options
Kia? Seriously?🙄
Got the same car.. love it 🙏🏾
Dat Dude_392 me too 👌
Nice
#metoo, and #metoo. (erm. maybe that came out wrong. I have the same car also, and I love it too.)
I love watching this review. She does an amazing job. I also agree with her. Those cars are fun to drive at the drag strip.
I like this girl a lot! She's good at reviewing cars and she's very professional. Great job, wish she were doing more reviews because I'm getting tired of a lot of the same old guys.
Very well done. 👍🏿
Where is Carlos?
@evilmountainlion612 He need to do more videos. I would love to see both of them in the same review.
He really should just make his own review channels, hate to see his talent go to waste
@@Alumnikiid Totally agree, he would instantly get a ton of subscribers.
That was a great review. Thank you for making and sharing.
GerryStilton xbJ
Good review on a badass car! I prefer the Challenger myself, 392 is the sweet spot. Great courage going it with a Demon, and you beat a lot of cars before it! Good job!
Wow she killed this review! 👏👏
Good job!
,bull that car is gorgeous. What a KIA ? Now KiA is paying you to sell that Japanese crap. Dodge Charger is bad ass. No questions asked. Rubbery no it is so cool and the stitching is so nice to look at. The power is awesome. The ride is smooth and the gas pedal and brakes are so precise it's amazing. Your political correctness is sickening.
They have too many fuckin chargers, they have fuckin tons of those things, sxt, gt, rt, 392 rst, rst Daytona, scatpack rst fuckin idek anymore
I think people might be persuaded by the awd on the stinger but other than that why would you get the kia over the 6.4 v8 when you mat it and everyone turns their head to see what car is making that huge power roar its worth it. Nobody is gunna bat an eye at a stinger sorry to be blunt but the v6turbo with restrictive soundless exhaust 🥱 people buy sports cars for looks,power,sound and speed if your car isn't ticking all those boxes maybe you should get something more practical
Dodge charger-big, brawny, ballsy American made 😎💪
Canadian made*
Elana brings me back. Carlos who?
ce2flaco larlos cago
I'm sorry but people say has a lot of plastic. What else can it have if it's not plastic? Steel? Fu*k that. leather? na what is good that wont heat up the car.
Its garbage compared to the great grandfather Daytona charger hemi 1969 aint got speed unless got wing
I went with the Ram 1500 Night Edition, but I still have dreams about the time I test drove this Daytona
Are there even any competitors? Does she know anything about the muscle game lol that thing has so many competitors that each pretty much beat it cool to see tho
If dodge can shed at least 1200 lbs off this car , I'd buy one . To friggin heavy
One of my old friends got the scat pack and i didnt think it was comfortable at all. Although it felt very fast and love the way the car looked.
The dash may be plastic but it's a soft plastic, almost pleather feel unlike any asian car where it's just light cheep rattling plastic
Charger over the BMW for the cost of maintenance wise And have to love the Character of the Dodge never gets old.
Love my interior in my 2015 Charger R/T!
Performance is great as well!
Fantastic review, fantastic gal..
Can this car be a daily driver if your commute is 20mile round trip?
The scat pack puts a smile on my face so I can definitely respect that Daytona
Who wants a boring ass bmw or Audi??? Plus the charger looks better
I love these soccer mom muscle car reviews! 😁
Overwhelmingly positive feedback for her car review. Excellent work.
This was great👍👍👍👍Just ordered a 19 Daytona👍👍👍👍
Dodge has always had crappy non informative brakes
Really a Charger compared to a fucking Kia are you serious
I liked your test drive mission on the Dodge Charger you the best training
And this is the video that made me go and buy one same color
Lol 🔥
That was a great review, dont even have any questions
That Red Dodge Demon is a monster fast. Great video.
Awesome video. The best one that I’ve seen on this channel in several months.
I think the stinger is ugly...i like the charger 100%
Good to see a real car chick doing a review on a real car!
Convincing me to get one‼️ moparornocar
She knocks the interior which she's probably right, but, most people who get one aren't concerned about the interior they buy it for whats under the hood.
Eh. I have the twin of that, and the interior is very subjective. I like it, but some people feel that way.
nice review !!
