My condolences on your Chrysler. Their QC sucks. Make sure you go over every inch of that car with a fine-toothed comb.

Still pretty. I almost went with a Charger, but the one I test-drove had a front lamp fail while driving and the passenger seat was ... get this.. visibly crooked.

Well my dumbass was enjoying the engine noise while test driving and went to turn radio on 1 hr into my 4 hr drive home and had no audio at all for the whole trip, had to unhook battery to get it working. It has happened once again Saturday right before i detailed the car and was taking the wife out for the night "really taking car out for the night" and ended uo driving the jeep because no music.

I have a 16' Skat Pack Charger and it's a fun car. Not as fast as the Camaro but it still gets up and moves. It will also burn those 245's right off the rim lol

It's a great 4 door replacement. I prefer the looks of the Charger to the Chevy SS.

While I won't disagree about the QC on the Dodge, I highly recommend that anyone in the market for a new Gen6 also pay special attention to the workmanship and QC on the Camaro that they may be seriously considering. Like it or not there is a long list of issues that some cars suffer from. I have personally witnessed fit and finish issues on new Camaro's to the point that I question how it was allowed to leave the plant. Not all, some are near perfect... it seems to boil down to where the wheel of quality lands on each particular unit... and you don't want to discover an obvious defect when it's already in your driveway. BTW, Good luck with your Charger... Sweet Ride!!

I was going to say the same thing. They all suck these days. Just get the one you like and deal with whatever issues come up. It certainly will not matter what nameis on the fender.
Just read this fourm for a day if you think the Camaro doesn't have issues.

Nice car, i would buy one if I needed a four door over any other four door in the same price range.

Don't listen to the haters. Not like Chevy's QA is much better... Let's see, end links coming loose, leather seats coming undone, faulty water pumps, etc. lol

Hardly any car these days is perfect. I daily drive a RAM Ecodiesel which has had all kinds of issues. Luckily after 50k miles, mine has been nearly perfect except for a driver window one touch down and up that sometimes decides to stop working and a tail gate latch that pops when the auto locks engage. lol

Before that I had a 2014 Chrysler 300S which was a solid, really nice, fast car.

Enjoy the Charger, it's a fun, comfy, fast family hauler.
