What owners say
"Overall, drivers really enjoy the 2012 Dodge Charger for its impressive performance, spacious interior, and a host of features. Many appreciate the powerful engine options and how fun the car is to drive, especially in various weather conditions. However, some drivers have noted concerns about the stereo's performance and high mileage in certain models."
I test drove and purchased a 2012 Charger AWD RT MAX. This car handles amazing, I live in the northern states and needed a decent daily driver that can handle day to day traffic as well as the snow. This car is amazing to drive, with the All Wheel Drive system matched to a 5 speed transmission and 5.7L Hemi V8 there was no other car I can compare this to. Ive driven Front wheel drive/Rear wheel drive/4X4 trucks and they cannot compare to how well this car handles the weather. With opting for the MAX package, fully loaded options are amazing, from blind spot monitoring to forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control. Set Cruise at 70 on the freeway and you do not have to worry about coming up on a slower moving car to adjust your speed. Heated/cooled front seats & cup holders!! Built in factory navigation, auto dimming mirrors. Memory full power leather seats ( and will memorize your exterior rearview mirrors! ) Very cozy ride for long trips, back seat is spacious enough for a 6 foot 250lb man to be comfortable. Sunroof is a nice addition to have a little vented air without the wind noise from side windows. Trunk space is decent, comes with a spare tire - however would recommend flatbed towing to not damage the AWD system. Mechanically easy to work on and diagnose.
March 12, 2022This car is definitely the best overall car we've ever owned. Dodge really put a lot of thought into the Charger. Loads of awesome features, and I'm sure there's still some that we haven't figured out! Just completely awesome. Wow!
July 2, 2012I absolutely love this car. Picked up an admittedly high mileage needs a couple minor things 2012 pursuit model for 6800 bucks. Needed a new transmission pan gasket, oil pressure sensor, and new plugs. Love the way it handles. Has plenty of power, is super fun to drive, and it is SHOCKING how many people give you compliments for a car that is literally the lowest trim available with the V8! Not to mention, its great to have a fun, fast, four door vehicle since I have a large family!

May 18, 2024I love everything about the 2012 charger. It came with an 8 speed manual transmission. Talk about 0-60 in 4 seconds. Wow! Base model :)
August 12, 2012The body, the motor and the transmission are in excellent shape considering the 146,000 miles. However, I did spend $2,343 on new brake pads and a new catalytic converter. Despite that, I think I got a good deal on this car.
April 5, 2021I only just purchased this car yesterday, so I will need to spend a bit more time with it before I can write a thorough review. So far, I can say that it is very powerful, fast, nice looking, and has some really awesome features. Cooled and heated cupholders? Who knew that was a thing?!
November 4, 2014So far I like everything. This is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven. I love the heated and cooled front seats. It even has heated and cooled cup holders up front. This car is as awesome as you would expect.
August 2, 2013The car is great. Runs awesome I love my car
May 23, 2023I loved the features of the car but the only downside for me was that, the car had high mileage.
October 15, 2021This is my first mopar and i absolutely love it. It is a full size sedan which i can use to ferry the family around or to have some fun on my own! Its AWD has served me well through two new england winters.
