2009 Dodge Challenger Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Love it!! The stock suspension was a little too soft for my taste, so I installed Mopar's stage I coilover kit. Handles a lot better with No body roll. Other than that, It's perfect. Fast & Flashy, Highly recomended! Me Likey!

Car is a dream to drive.Traded my 350z in for this beast , glad I did. I have the "track pak" w/ the 3.92 gear ratio.After driving this one & a SRT , I'm glad I got the R/T track pak.It's got a better launch w/ less HP than the SRT & I saved about $10,000. With which I'll use to boost HP greater than the SRT.

The car has met or exceeded all of my expectations. It is stunningly beautiful, amazingly powerful and rides like a dream! I was not expecting its comfort and handling ability. The retro style is a definitely turns heads! You can easily accelerate past 80mph without realizing it.

This car is awesome. I've owned a 76 Camaro, 82 Z28 and an 86 Firebird and this car beats them all. Great looks, head turner and the gas mileage is respectable. The V6 has plenty of power for this old.

Simply the best vehicle I've ever driven. I dream of having one of these in my driveway. The one I drove had the 5.7L HEMI and automatic, and the 5.7L gets 33 mpg highway, so those environmentalists don't have the right to complain.

Loved this car !! Great features and comfort. Would only trade this car for a Shelby. Would love too have this car back if I could afford it. Great car !!

Great car handles very well plenty of power and when driving on the highway still gets 22mpg. Although the build quality isn't perfect in this day you cant expect perect. The car is an amazing car to drive and i love to take it out on cruises.

I like everything about this car. On the appearance side,I personnally would've like a bit more of the retro look, specially the steering wheel. Performance; This car is unreal. WOW Build Quality; very good Gas mileage; with the Tremec; excellent Fun Factor: FUN FUN FUN till daddy took the challenger away (stored for winter)

it's all around awesome! the car looks verry heavy and bold without a heavy price. the performance is even better it handles verry tight and can really go when u want to let your foot down. the challenger is really on the top of its class!

Super sleek body, roomy family style interior and gets about 25 mpg. Acceleration: 0-30 mph 2.5 seconds 0-45 mph 4.0 seconds 0-60 mph 5.9 seconds 0-75 mph 8.4 seconds 1/4-mile 14.1 seconds at 100.8 mph 0-60 mph with 1 foot of rollout 5.5 seconds Braking: 30-0 mph 29 feet 60-0 mph 126 feet

It hits the 70 version right on. Only complaint is that it should be about 10" shorter and a couple of inches narrower. It needs to go on a diet. 4,000 lbs is just too heavy. 3300 would be just perfect, even if they did cut the horsepower down to say, 340. Also, get rid of the limiters.

This was a Pretty sweet car, the only thing I wish is that they made it in a stick shift. You can only have so much fun with an automatic transmision, All in all though it is a pretty sick car!

this 2009 challenger out performs any car my moms ever had, it handles really good and hugs the road and its hard to lose control of it she siad, its a really nice looking car, she cant even leave it alone without ppl swarming all over it, the interior is all black leather and look awesome, it is a bit of a gas guzzler but she doesnt care she bought it to drive, what to you expect with a hemi lol, doesnt need maintenance its brand new, its funnest car she has ever driven, it has power, class, and the high technology of this car is better then anyone can ask for, its nothing less then amazing!!!

The 2009 Challenger RT is a great muscle car. May not be the fastest or best handling car on the block, it will always have you smiling!

Challengers rule! Love the retro-style and the 'rock star' looks I get when I drive my Challenger. Incredible car for the money and if you still have a pulse, this car is for you! Test drive one and feel like a kid again!

i have the r/t, which has great power, it handles very well for such a big car. trunk space is excellent. leather interior is very nice. all in all, a very fun car to drive! i would definitely recommend this car, especially if you're sick of seeing camaro's and mustangs everywhere!

I am simply in love with him. I acquired him, brand new... and he's been simply lovely. He's never let me down... I realize many people have a rather awful image of Dodge yet I will tell you its entirely unfounded. He is perfect. Truly. Gas Mileage is not meant to be good in the Challenger... I cannot complain because it is well compensated for in power... though I find my '66 Impala to be far more fun... my dear Challenger is my... reliable... and practical vehicle... and he even has heating and air conditioning!

Performance: Great acceleration and handing. Top speed I've reached is 187 mph Appearance: I think that the every new Dodge looks amazing so does this baby Cost of Ownership: For me it's a little expensive because of everything I did with it. I buy new tires every month for this car and it swallows a lot of gas too. Fun Factor: It's really fun. I love the smell of burning rubber and asphalt in the morning and the adrenaline. If someone can afford himself with a car like this, try the stuff I did

There was a lot of hype build up for this car, so I went to drive it. To start off, this car is supposedly a remake of the original Challenger from the 70s with huge aluminum wheels, a face-lift and ofcourse, some Xenon lamps. The 6.1 Hemi always lets me down as the noise to power ratio is screwed up. Since this car weighs a crap-load, the acceleration wasn't up to my expectations. However, the 6-speed manual was quiet a lot of fun to drive. The major disappointments with this vehicle were the interior, the handling and the quality of materials. The first and the latter have the same root as everything is made of plastic. From the bumpers to the dashboard, everything was plastic. The handling was terrible for a fast car. The handing response almost felt delayed. Turning at higher speeds and/or shifting lanes at higher speeds is also something that was not as fun with this car. The weight factor really plays a major role in the handling. The navigation was the ugliest I have ever seen. I expect gas-mileage to be fairly low and cost of maintenance to be decent as it is an American vehicle and most parts are available local. (This is the same 6.1L Hemi they've been using with the Magnum, Charger, 300, Grand Cherokee etc.). Overall, this car is great if you want it only to drive in the city and show off your 20" rims. I wouldn't recommend it if you like spirit driving though.

Excellent car vehicle, handles well, great performance and good priced

Love that Hemi!!!! I commute 200 miles each day in this car and it is the best freeway cruiser I have ever owned. The darn thing just wants to go faster than the speed limit! :) Plus I get almost 25 MPG on the open road!

handling && acceleration are great on this car. it has a good build quality && the appearance is really gonna look good. its really good to cruse around in, but sucks gas. 15 miles to the gallon on street/ highway. 10 city.

A good platform to build a hellcat ... it has everything but whine !!!

These cars get looks whether stock or modified. run great decent on gas mileage as long as you play nicely. these cars fit into the show circuit very well classic owner accept them because of the nostalgic looks of the 70's

I liked the design and after I added the extra things it just became a real head turner. It sounds great and has plenty of power. I have owned 2 dodge vehicles now and I am looking for my third. You just can't go wrong with the heritage design

This challenger is even faster and siker then my moms challenger, it performs really good, handles really good with high performance suspension and handling, its brand new so doesnt need repairs, hemi pearl orange like my moms, and black leather interior and its the same style but its and SRT 8 so there are some differences, its a gas guzzler also, but again its a hemi! its so much fun in these cars cuz ppl look and think wow watta nice street car, my dads mostly collecting it, neither one of them will ever be winter driven, you couldnt really hook it up in the snow anyways, this car is really amazing!

It had plenty of power and agility for the large car that it is, and would satisfy some ones need for power with the 6.1L HEMIs. The car wouldn't be a well suited road coarse car and would make a better straight line car. I wasn't able to take the car to its limits but from the driving that was done this car just doesn't have the feel of a car you can put in to hard G cornering and feel as comfortable with as you would with a smaller coupe.

Performance - acceleration is pretty good braking aint the best and handling who needs that i want to go straight FAST Appearance - best retro styled car so far Cost of Ownership - not cheap Fun Factor - oh yes its fun to drive everywhere i go it gets looks
