6 Reasons Why People Buy V6 Muscle Cars - Dodge Charger 

Who cares.!! long as you love your car that’s all that matters!!

most of the V8 commenters are driving 4 cylinder cars or not even have one. I am planning to get V6 charger because I had enough speed and crossing red signal fines. In Dubai they dont take it easy when you make anything against the rules

Just drive what ever the hell you want to drive and be proud you own a damn car. Most people would dream of driving a Dodge Charger and could car less what motor is in it.

most new school v6s are more powerful than most older v8s.

Just traded my 3.5L V6 for a 2008 Dodge Magnum 5.7L hemi!

All good points. I bought my 2017 Charger SXT mainly for the AWD component. I just couldn't convince myself that driving my family around in a powerful RWD muscle car in New England snow was a responsible choice. I have AWD in cold or rainy conditions, and RWD on nice days. And, this is easily the most powerful car I've ever owned. No regrets here. This car MORE THAN meets my needs.

All good reasons. The V6 has 300 hp which is plenty for any kind of real world driving. People in the 80s and 90s drove sedans of this size with 150 hp V8 engines and they were great cars.

I’d rather have a v6 than a Sentra or versa!🤮🤮🤮🤮

Thanks for this video. I am happy I have a HEMI V8 but you remind me of when I was in college. Keep up the great videos.

My sister in law have a 2018 charger sxt 3.6L it’s fast for 292HP but I Drove a 2015 charger Rally edition 3.6L with 300HP those 8extra hp makes a big difference that Rally Edition is way faster then the stock SXT...

Hey i got a V6 challenger last year got it cheaper than a V8 RT saved 4grand added a spoiler tinted the windows and it looks great... used the cash for school ... worked out in the end for me..

You know, I love all your videos but this is is extra awesome. This helps a lot with how much gas and insurance will cost, what type of car i should get depending on my driving situation, the packages I can get, and I really like the kind of Vlog style camera placing with you driving while talking through the vid. Keep up the good work

my 2007 V6 Charger will get me through high school, nobody at my school drives a Charger and I wanted to stand out...that and all the R/Ts I found either had bad oil leaks or frame damage...I could afford an R/T but I'm not dealing with an oil leak

I'm buying a V6 today. My biggest reason was price, price, price. I can technically afford a V8 if i REALLY wanted to, but the price was more than i wanted to pay, and i don't wanna fill up on gas every 2-3 days since my commute is an hour everyday for work. I also have rent, utilities, water, cell phone, internet, car insurance, health/dental insurance, student loan debt and other miscellaneous bills. I have my own apartment and my own car and i pay for everything myself. A lot of V8 owners live with their parents. So if you ask me, i'm the one doing better in life.

Some people buy them as family cars. It is one of the biggest sedans on the market and the only sedan i found that could fit a double stroller in the trunk comfortably while still having room for other things. People hate on them but they're still fast, i love driving mine and at the end of the day I've got a full size sedan big enough to carry two carseats in the back without having to move my seat forward, i can easily fit a double stroller in the trunk and i didn't break the bank doing it. Makes sense to me

I have a v6 charger shit hits hard on the free way if i was to get a v8 id have tons of tickets by now v6 chargers aren't bad they still pull speed i dont regret buying the v6 V8 theres really no point its not like your gana be racing it daily

The reason I got a V6 Charger (2018 GT Plus Blacktop pakage) was because I live in Michigan so AWD is a must. I’m 18 and a college student and only pay $250 a month on a 2018 Charger. It’s the perfect daily not too slow or not too fast I love it

You can download hp from internet for your v6 charger

Pls help Marspeed! I have a Chrysler 300c 3.5 I have the 4speed 42RLE transmission. I heard it’s pointless to modify the car because the transmission either won’t put the power down or it will break. :/ I just want to mod my car to about 300-320hp. Is it worthless really? Thanks

I have a V6 badge on my charger so people could know I drive a v6

I originally got a V6 because of the price. No surprise there. But after switching directly from an 04 civic dx (cheapest and slowest model) I was glad that i didn't have the extra money because the power difference felt pretty insane. Overall it's a fun car and I love it, but I definitely want to get a v8 model charger in the distant future. But again, it was definitely the price point that made me get a V6.

What's some good brand tires to put on a 2008 Dodge Charger SE?

Cool Vid! I have a 2011 3.6 Charger and I love it. I am about to buy a tuning programmer to boost performance. I like the idea of people underestimating my car, "It's not even a Hemi!" Yeah, but has 350 HP

I totally understand your situation. Hope you’re able to afford a V8 in the next couple years!

I’m looking at buying a v6 just because I need awd. Is the gt the only option? And not to sound ignorant but does it still sound powerful?

Good video ! Did u do a muffler deleete.? The entire time whilemu were driving all I heard was growling.

I rlly like ur vid bro i just picked up a charger persuit aka the police car and im rlly enjoying it 💯

I have a 2019 v6 charger sxt but it’s still listed as a sports car under our insurance

I somewhat agree with the reasons stated for owning a V6. I own a 2015 V6 Mustang and yes price had something to do with it but the performance believe it or not did too. My car is slightly modified and I'm getting around 350 HP. With my power to weight ratio I have raced many Charger and Challenger R/Ts and have won. You don't need a V8 to be fast. I have less than $2000 invested in my car in upgrades so it's really not that expensive either to get the performance you want.

I had 2017 Dodge Challenger RT shaker and I down grade to 2019 challenger GT AWD.. why? I live in Vancouver where we get lots of rain and snow, and we have the the most expensive insurance and very expensive gas. Owning a V6 is not bad like what ppl think. Some ppl wants the look of a muscle car and it is really fun and cool to drive one, V6 or V8. Not everyone wants fast, some people wants looks and some are practical.

I was going to go with a v6 but found an RT in perfect condition being sold by an older couple for 6k. Just couldn’t pass it up

Hey marspeed why didn't you get the SRT version of your car, it's faster and lounder

Just bought a v6 charger and I love it

Great video. Very logical reasons for the V6.

I just bought my 2nd V6 Charger. I buy them because I’m 6’4” and they are the most comfortable cars I’ve ever driven. V6 is more practical as a daily driver.

I went to a party in LA for V6 chargers pulled up 0709's 22 inch wheels suspension all screwed up I was the only gringo there with an SRT eight I could hear him speak in Spanish who's SRT is that it's the gringo

I like the V6

I got a RWD 2017 charger sxt plus, gf has a scatpack widebody Challenger She definitely has to pay more, when i ask her too "wanna go on some trips" she sometimes say no due to gas, and im like "we can take my car lol"

I like the way your muffler sound. What kind of Muffler you have for your charger?

Price is a major reason, also I'm not racing anyone so I don't need a v8. lol Besides like you said other sedans with similar pricing are way under powered. I'm happy with my SXT and people can say what they want. I'm planing on getting a Camaro soon with a V8, I like Dodge, but If I'm going to spend upwards of 20k on a car it's gonna either be a Challenger, Camaro or Mustang.

I bought mine because of the AWD. Were I live we get a fair amount of snow and I can't afford a seperate car for winter.

Plus a V6 is better on track. Better placement in the car, weight distribution.

What about a 2010 mustang v6 3.7 L how much will the insurance companies price that at?

I just bought a 2013 300 v6 and im fixing to send it off to have a supercharger put in it. I bought it because i dont want to pay extra on insurance and monthly payment. Even after supercharger itll cost less than a v8 same year fully loaded and after paying to put supercharger still save 2k vs v8. So i get the fun drive, luxury, save money, and something my wife can still drive without killing herself.

I've super charged my 2013 sxt Challenger and have a bourla catback and have beaten several v8 cars including my dad's mustang so I don't care that "it's still just a v6"

I would love to see a V6 Charger at a Race track

Bro I have a V6 charger its alright car but it was cheep it was 4500 used the reason why it was that low is because it has a bunch of hail damage cuz it was from Colorado but I'm working on the dings but once the body is fixed up I'm going to paint it black and red its going to look sick

Yeah mostly more practical as well, a lot of the extra horsepower in the V8 goes unused anyways. Save yourself the speeding tickets as well lol. But I mean if you're doing illegal street racing circuit, or track racing, or what it may be, then by all means get the 6.1L V8 Hemi

im thinking of buying a srt 8 Chrysler 300 or a lifted chevy or a lifted ram or any truck that looks good or a rt charger or maybe a camaro ss

I got my v6 mainly for the winters I have here in Canada, got AWD and also cuz a Daytona is out of my budget If they had a Daytona in AWD id make the money sacrifice and get that shit. I seriously don't wanna get stuck in my slopped drive way in the morning for work during a snow storm

One of the reasons why I would buy a V6 Charger over a V8. Just to piss off those people who say "All V6 cars are dumb ideas and never should have been made" and just roll past them at 2500 RPM.

Even in the original muscle cars days there were 318 Chargers/ Challengers, 307 Camaro, 327 Corvettes and I6 Mustangs.

My dad's V6 charger was 35k lol better than R/T cost

I agree, I may not have dodge car but Chevy Monte Carlo was cheap, good gas milage, cheap insurance, and some cool features that I wouldn't have gotten if I got a v8 Monte Carlo

RIPP supercharger for V6s are good for performance gains but really pricey. I think its 5k for one

I have owned V8's in the past. Once you have to do a spark plug change and realize there are 16 plugs, man those V6's sure sound nice.

hey man, thanks for the vid. and lol, fuck those speed bumps

im gonna buy v6 cause of gas milage and its cheaper on my pockets

Great video and all valid comments. Dodge is giving crazy deals right now to clear out the 2019s. I got a brand new Challenger SXT for just 21K. As you said...money well spent instead of buying some boring little car for that 21K. Also, as you also said, the V6 is faster than at least 85% of the cars on the road. I grew up and drove some of the old muscle cars from the '60s and '70s. I owned a 1972 Gran Torino 351, a 1969 Two Door Galaxie 500 390, a 1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport 400 convertible with manual transmission, and a 73 Nova SS 350, and the SXT is faster than all of them. It is just the way things are today, that modern muscle cars are insanely powerful, and a V6 is considered "slow". Not so, when put in context. The 1968 Dodge R/T 440 was slightly slower 0 to 60 and in the 1/4 mile than the Challenger SXT. Back in the day, the goal of every guy was to get his car down into the 14s at the drag. The SXT runs in the 14s. So, I am very happy with the power. I do not street race anymore, and I don't want to get in an accident or lose my license. Therefore, the V6 looks awesome, costs less, and I love it. The final point is just the looks. You might be sitting next to a red hot WRX STI or Honda Civic Type R that is faster than your SXT, but when the hot chick comes out of the club...what car do you think she wants to ride in? :)

2018 mustang gt, lotta bang for your buck. Very nice interior, very nice looking, 435hp and 35k

Cheaper insurance is what I bought my v6

A wrx, Focus st, is300, or g35 would be alot better choice than a v6 charger imo.

Before I started the video I already know the answer to why people buy the v6 option - cheaper and better on gas: the end

I think a 2013 V6 Mustang 3.7 with 3.73 gears and a 6-speed manual is like the perfect daily driver. RWD, reliable, fun as hell, good on fuel and can run an honest 13 second 1/4 mile. I have the 5.0 V8 but I also have a 4 banger daily. Most people don't have a daily, obviously. V6 muscle cars are not the same as the mid 90s versions. The V6 Camaro 1LE is nuts. Only very insecure people would shit on somebody who owned a 6 cyl Camaro/Mustang/Challenger or something similar.

You are so right bro! People that get a Charger should be just as happy to even have one! A lot of people want Chargers and cannot afford them for plenty of reasons! I got s SXT '07 V6 Charger I love it to death im not racing anyone lol but tinted windows a lil bit of chrome and some 22s sealed the deal! People paying for V8's and still living with there parents ITS TOO MUCH MONEY!! Great video man👍👍👍👍

i can afford a r/t or daytona but im 23 so my insurance would go crazy with a v8 lol. i currently have a 2017 charger sxt plus with 300 hp. It works for me im good. Put a cold air intake on it makes it sound better.

HEMI POWER!

I had to settle for a V6 mustang and at first I was mad, but after driving it for two years, I'm satisfied with it and I'm glad I had all that time, instead of taking the bus, so that's what matters to me.

You should get another charger with a hemi as the "official" channel project car. Aftermarket for the 3.5 is not that great. You could find an old police Hemi charger for cheap. Keep the V6 as a daily imo.

I bought my 2007 V6 Magnum in 2009.... It was a unsold car from a dodge dealer that went out of business. Since it left their lot,they had to sell it as a “used” car. So my choice was buy a used car with a Hemi or a basically brand new (had 600 miles on it) car that happened to have a V6... Gas mileage wasn’t a factor...

Mine Insurance on a V8 monthly around $200 mark and it’s because of my speeding tickets lol

The modern V6 sports coups and Charger are great for people with long commutes on open freeways. They are decent on fuel, insurance, and are a lot sturdier than a front wheel drive shit box.

You do know not a lot of people wouldn't buy a brand new charger right ? They have used ones , like here in Cali you can get an 2015-16 RT around low 20k with a few options , but I get what your saying the 6 is just good enough

I’m happy with my 2012 SRT

v6 3.5 high output kicks ups some horses and slap a turbo or supercharger and dual exhaust and you got a mean ride. yeah hemi's are nice but fucking expensive so ill stick with my v6

You drive more than 30 thousand miles per year? I bought my 2013 with 7 miles on it in 2012,in 6 years it now has 28k on it but then my 2004 Altima only has 51k

Maaaan you cant clown a V6 dude who paid it with his own money, i respect them more than people with V8 with daddy money

I can afford a V8. I can't afford to have a car I can't drive year round in Chicago. I got a GT Challenger to enjoy all year round, every day. I have no desire to drive a beater daily and keep a gem in the garage. If its not for you, okay. I hope that one day we'll get V8 AWD Chally.

Make a video explaining how you made your car louder please. A bit detailed please? :)

1. Experience- some people can't handle the power of V8 off the bat. it's like handing a kid the keys to a corvette and they crash or guys saving up money for the new mustangs and you see some of them crash. got to learn with a weaker car. 2. They like it the way it is. I want a 4 cylinder Fiero, because it just attracts me for some reasons. Some people just want a v6 chargers.

If you’re going to daily drive something the V6 is the ultimate. I put 20K miles per year and I bought my challenger SXT+ brand new. Couldn’t justify 8K more for a less than half optioned RT. I got 29.6mpg from Portland Oregon to Reno Nevada. And had to stop 25 times for my wife that has to pee relentlessly.

I have an v6 charger and its slow as hell, 16.9 in quarter mile, a mtf chvy cruze beat me. But i always wanted a charger, and the only one that i can get is my 3.5. Looks great but i would like more power. But my car drinks a lot of fuel. I dont know how can afford an srt if i get it.😂

Love how the v6 sounds for the price obviously the v8 sounds better but look at camaros and mustangs with a v6 engine this is a much better car

I got a 17 charger rt for 28,000. And it only had 1,100 miles on it. It’s nothing to find a sweet deal on them.

Idk I still prefer the scat but people still say I should have bought the cat so it’s where ya at and what ya want still a mopar lol

1018 V6 3.6 avg 29 mpg @ 75 mph. Oh yeah I quit at 130+ mph in Kansas

I bought a 2011 charger 5.7 fully loaded with 70xxx miles from a old old man for 15.xxx

I had a 2009 Charger SXT , i now drive a 2015 Jeep Diesel

where I'm at the r/t is 10k more

Coming from a v6 challenger. I rather get a scat or hellcat if I ever upgrade. I test drive a RT. Ain’t no point getting a RT coming from a V6. But imma keep my v6 challenger 2017 until the wheels fall off.

Why I bought a V6 charger? Cause it looks nice.

Everyone’s missing the AWD. The originally offered the V8 in AWD, but (I think due to lack in sales) didn’t develop AWD for the new tranny to mate with the v8 So if you live in a northern state and can’t have two vehicles, a v6 AWD will out perform a V8 in almost every single way 260 days of your year.... waiting for the V8 while it looses traction or has to be careful with the gas pedal so it won’t end up in a ditch.. V8 wins out on a dry track or straight away That’s a pretty rare thing for daily drivers in the north. Not to mention the v6 Charger/challenger is still faster/ has more power than nearly everything else you encounter driving on the road from day to day. It’s just easier to drive and enjoy If I live in Florida or Arizona .., I’d probably buy a scat pack

My dad actually tried to buy me a v8 but as it was my first car, I knew and we all know stupid things happen, I wanted a v6 so I myself would drive safer. And whew not to mention insurance!!

Buys V6 because it's cheaper but yet spends money on mods that could of went to just buy the real deal....makes perfect sense!

Why do people buy V6 Muscle Cars? Because everyone has to start somewhere. Edit: also since I’m a young and new driver I V6’s are wayyy cheaper on Insurance and Gas Mileage. I want too buy a V8 Charger when I get out of college!

The 3.6 rips!

I got a 2014 Dodge Charger SE. (V6) only got it cause 1 better gas, don't want a v8 yet. 2 price. 3 something that looks good and very dependable. And not to mention ladies still love my car. And I'm only 21

*buys a v6* dude should of the the 5.7 its not that much more *buys a 5.7*dude should of got the 392 its not that much more *buys a 392* should of got a hellcat

"I wanted to save on fuel economy so I bought a 3,996 pound v6 car instead of a tiny little honda from the 90s that would actually get great milage". "I don't give a shit about the v8 so I bought a car known for having a v8". "I wanted a lower cost of insurance so I bought a 3.6L engine instead of some tiny little four cylinder that would actually have low insurance cost". "I wanted to beat v8s with my v6 so I bought a big American bitch instead of some light Japanese dancer". I didn't ask anyone to defend their choice if a v6 charger makes you happy so be it and don't bother giving a damn what I or anyone thinks of you, (I drive an automatic honda accord with a f23a1, my car isn't good for shit but low emissions) but don't go around telling people you drive a muscle car, or that you honestly prefer the v6. You wanted what a charger stands for in your mind (status maybe? Idk, personally I like the old second gen chargers the best and don't give a hoot in hell about any "charger" where a four speed isn't at least an option.) and you got as close as you could within your budget. That's closer than I am to the charger I want. I dream, literally dream about owning a 1968 Dodge Charger with a 512 stroker and four speed and I won't buy anything labeled as a Charger until I can afford that dream. That dream is going to take me a long, long time to reach and I'm not going to settle. If you aspire to the modern SRT8 but have settled for the SXT just admit it, you're not any less of a man/woman for doing so, in fact you're probably a lot more grown up than I am clinging onto the fantasy of a car many decades older than myself...just cut the crap though.

GOOD FOR YOU BUD NOTHING WRONG WITH A V6 BRO TOSS A HOOD SCOOPS AND SOME MAGS ON IT OR WHAT EVER YOU WANT. THE V6 PUTS OUT MORE POWER THEN THE OLD CHARGERS DID BACK IN THE 70S I HAVE HAD BOTH AND I JUST GOT MY WIFE A NEW DURANGO WITH THE 3.6 20 MPG ALL DAY LONG HER 2013 HEMI COULD NOT GET 13 MPG . TELL ALL THE HATERS TO KISS YOUR ASS
