We all love our cars, but we'd be lying to say we were completely satisfied with them. After all, it's next to impossible to feel COMPLETELY satisfied with anything. For me, I would say the paper-thin sheet metal and the easily-scratched interior...This is a badass ride, it should be tougher than it is. I feel like I'm having to be ridiculously cautious just moving around inside my car, or God forbid I scratch the seat backs or glove box, etc.

Just to make sure it's known I'm not trolling...it's an absolutely gorgeous automobile, extremely faithful to the original, and it feels like I'm driving around with Doc Brown's hover conversion kit from "Back to the Future" because the ride is so smooth I feel I'm levitating above the road. "Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads."

One thing that bothers me a bit is that my 2009 SRT-8 only came with regular AC and not the ACC. Even on my 2006 Magnum SRT-8 I had the climate control, but three years later the decide to skip it in this specific model. Why?

 

[campton]

I agree with the easy scratch interior. Lol other then that im pretty happy

So far my only peeve is that the center console scratched easily due to the buckling and unbuckling of the seatbelts,thats it with the 11000 miles i have on her,pretty good i think.

My Gripe is that too many good looking girls always come up to me in parking lots and ask me about My Challenger .... "I hate that"

 

[challengeRRR]

To heavy and to less of HP for the compition.

The almost black interior. It makes the inside feel too small and dark. I wish it was a dark grey instead. I wish the gas cap had an inside release.

Windshield washer nozzles spray the hood as much as the window.

+1 on the interior scratches.

 

[Madcoder]

Anyone who get's in the back seat has to go through the passenger side.

Not a biggie but kinda annoying.

The weight never bothered me. To me the size of the Challenger is one of its most imposing features....

Buuuut, a little more power to move the big girl along would be nice. As many others have said before, when the 392 came out the 6.1 should have gone into the R/T and Dodge would be right there with the 5.0 and SS.

That would be my only gripe....Chrysler could have tried a little harder to hang with the other two.

I like the dark actually. Makes it so i dont have to tint my windows to the illegal tint level.

agreed. Very annoying. I like the power seat option but im not that lazy. I like non power or a 3 door option... maybe

That would have been wise. 6.1 R/T. In fact thats one of the bigger issues. Dodge has always had bigger engines to compensate for not using a supercharger or a turbo but now them guys are running bigger engines

+1. Annoying when you just want to put some groceries or stuff in the backseat as well.

That would have been sick, 2011+ R/T's come with the 6.1

The seats could be more comfortable. The seat bottoms, to me, have too much cushion on the edges where my legs rest.

 

[HIGH_HEMI]

I agree with seat bottoms. I never really get comfortable. Seems like the bolstering is too close together and the outside of my upper legs sit kinda "on the bolsters".

 

[swalker]

Lack of auto up windows ? Most every other line has then. What are we talking about a couple of switches abd some software bits.

 

[OmahaRumble]

Wheel hop is the biggest problem these 6 speed cars have. Otherwise the car is fine.

 

[Crush]

Performance wise - serious torque management pulls timing on every shift, wheel hop, super intrusive ESP (I hit the esp every time I start the car)

Non-performance - seat issues mentioned, AC Max does not stay on when you shut the car off, no steering wheel controls with Sound Group II

1. the thin sheet metal...I've fixed two "mysterious dents" in the roof already and now there is a third...the average person wouldn't notice it because it's ever so slight...but black shows everything and I know it's there

2. the side view mirrors suck (and glancing over your shoulder when changing lanes is dangerous)

3. the sound quality of the music on Sirius radio is awful...it was never this bad on any other vehicle I've ever owned

that's all I can think of for now...

 

[BayStateChallenger]

Overall I'm really happy I bought my car. Like others I find the interior to be chintzy, and the sheet metal is thin and has various ripples you can catch in the right light. But if I had to pick out a few things I felt could have been designed/built better;

Heater core lines/design are awful. Car turns into an oven because they radiate a ton of heat even when the heat is not on.

Engine-wise.....my car has serious surging issues at part throttle until it is completely warmed up.

Door handles....I know they've been revised but on my '12 I just feel like they're going to rip off when I open the door.

Plastic rocker panels? Meh.

Pretty much all I got.
