WATCH THIS BEFORE BUYING A DODGE CHALLENGER! 

There is no such thing as a perfect car. Just be happy with what you can afford.

Clear the blind spots with horsepower lol

I love the size of my Scat Pack Challenger. Part of the reason I bought it was the fact that it's bigger than the Mustang/Camaro.

"Yeah the blindspots are pretty bad, just use the side mirrors and look out the back window. Now lets go to the back window. Yeah you cant really see anything out of there."

I drive my RT daily love it! I bought mine for the look first. I am 5ft I have no problems driving my boat! The best car I’ve purchased. It’s got the look the speed and comfort with all the gadgets.

Its not a typical car to drive for regular typical drivers who are used to having kids in and out for the back seat and relies on the back window for the blindspots or uturns in underpasses. But for the rest of us, its a perfect daily driver. You just have to drive it different. Plus I have blindspot monitor that I hardly rely on but can come in handy on nights when people who drive with no lights in a small car and no engine noise wanna sneak up on me. Either way, I feel if you are a better driver than the mass majority of the people on the road then you can drive a challenger as easy as the other vehicles on the road

I still pick up plenty of chicks in my SXT lol no scat pack needed 🤪

Your parents are really nice, or loaded.

If you adjust your sideview mirrors properly you don't have to look back...If it's an issue then get blind spot monitoring.

It feels huge because you’re sitting not very far forward the rear axle, and the hood is about as long as a Mercedes GT It feels big because it’s bigger than a Mustang or Camaro. It’s not a pony car. It’s more of a grand tourer, which is what I like about it. It rides better, and looks more retro and true to the original rather than futuristic as other retro rods appear.

Great video, very accurate information regarding sight lines. I test drove mine and I could not believe how big the car truly is. Looking over the hood from driver seat, I describe it as looking across a football field. Again, the information in this video regarding the blind spot over right side shoulder is perfect, its terribly limited. I had to bump my passenger seat up to the dash just to see out the small back window. All in all, I absolutely love this car, and I use it as a daily driver. You just have to get used to the size.

Very informative and different from so many of the videos that talk about standard features and options etc. Well done.

That was a very informative and unbiased video, thank you. very enjoyable and well done.

+1, the engine sound is most impressive ;-) You lucky to have such a car !

Thanks for the information. That is a nice looking Challenger and I will definitely check out some more of your vids since I'm trying to decide between this and a Mustang GT

I got an 11 RT manual for a daily driver in Cleveland and it’s great!! Lots of fun but tame enough to keep yourself from too many tickets and stay somewhat safe. Does good in snow too surprisingly

I am going to buy the Dodge Challenge SXT plus Destroyer Gray in the summer time.

i'm leasing a 18 challenger rt 6 speed manual hemi....not good in wet weather...eats gas...but you get so many looks and thumbs up..buy a bright color and a automatic

Good practical advice on considering safety issues in buying /driving the Challenger. Thanks

Yea u pretty much nailed it. Also if you get the sick shift on the 6.4, the clutch will feel really heavy compared to driving a normal little stick shift car but you get used to it really quick.

It’s fast bro (: and yeah I agree with you the charger is a daily car!

I thought it'd be tougher but I drove a rental for about a week and it's actually pretty nice tbh. Good handling and for it being the base model even that one had a good jolt when you hit the gas.. I thought it'd be hard to see out the window but it wasn't.

2:21 -- Regarding tire size, you don't need to buy a Hellcat to get the wider tires. Starting with the SRT 392, they come with 275/40ZR20 tires on 20x9.5" wheels.

Congratulations dude; you do not waffle, waffle and waffle like most other guys do!

Good stuff man

The Scat Pack is the best bang for the buck, comfortable, tons of room, good mix of power & weight. Definitely need Cross Path detection though.

I love my 2011 srt8 inaugural, best car I’ve ever owned

i love the challenger almost got 2017 scat pk 6 speed daily driver but my heart was set for 300s which i bought fully loaded blk / white leather inside .jest turned 31thousand miles daily driver

If you want blind spots try the camaro. I've driven a challenger and it was surprising. It was only the 3.6. But it would move. It is large but I didn't feel it while driving. The car is humongous. It's a 300 with 2 doors. Big trunk, big interor, big car. Walking up and sitting down its a barge. Driving, it doesn't feel larger then the mustang. And it's way easier to drive then the camaro. My guess, they tighten the suspension on the performance cars. The sxt is rides like the barge it is, and handles surprisingly well. Visibility is good. Not as good as the mustang, but good.I feel you on the spin though. Some ass hat had put cheap uniroyal tiger paws on it. All they wanted to do was spin even with the 6 I couldn't really try the acceleration b/c of spin. Some CS 5's would have worked on it I think. Don't see CS3's lasting at all.

Just subbed bro keep it up you don't want to end up like tall guy review

Great video Kcars!

I’ve been following this channel for awhile and it’s a good one. You can buy a challenger or don’t, or buy a pony car or something from across the pond. One thing you need to realize is that a car purchase is not a life decision. Think of it as an expensive pair of shoes and nothing more so you’ll be free from worry or regret. American muscle is on borrowed time so buy that big V-8 and enjoy the rumble while you can. 👍

Good review!

This boat is actually fast. Subscribed instantly. I love everything mopar. Thank you for this video.

I'm getting a 2019 SXT AWD next week. Pitch Black. Your video didn't change my mind!

Very informative, thanks!

When you work for it and buy it yourself, that will be deserving of respect.

Beautiful car man.

Appreciate the info! ✊🏾

I'm going to buy one, so that was helpful and informative, ty.

Martin says/ the R/T'S sit to high , they tend to wander at higher speed, they don't look nice. I lowered mine 2 inches and looks alot better plus it handles lots better

If you buy a challanger youre buying it to flex with it...

Hands down the best!

Great vid clip!!👍 Thanks🙌

youre spot on about the tires man. Dodge messed up a bit by making those standard sizes. I have 245s on my A5 and it has just under 300bhp so theyre adequate. course the other issue dodge has with the high end Challenger trims is the drive shaft. its like they used a coffee stirrer or a sippy straw. Dodge needs to go back to the 2 Door Charger. Try to envision what a 71-74 style charger would look like with modern aesthetics.

245's are a joke even on my RT - why they put them on a scat was weird. Nice job man

Red with black trim & Shaker hood totally Rocks ! Love the two tone interior....

Late to the party but just wanted to say this is a good video buddy. And damn I love that color and leather seats. Phew. Hopefully u got the windows black out. Just got a 2018 challenger scat pack. 61k miles on it. So no factory warranty but it’s in great shape. And u are 100% right with the tire spin. I got an auto tranny, looks like u do too. Already got a mustang piping me. I’m wondering if running it manual starting in 2nd gear would help with the spin? Cause the most spin occurs in gears 1-2. Prob best to spin tires to heat them then run manual for the actual race and start in gear 2. I need to read the manual and see if I have the launch mode.

My SXT does not have a back up camera. I live in a small town where the top speed limit is only 55 so the SXT fits me just fine. I agree the blind spots are a problem at times but not often. I get followed often by cops, always checking my speed. I know, I know, I only have 305 horsepower but suites me just fine.

Just got my 2019 Challenger!

Nice job on the vid, thank you!

Good job mate, really helpful (Y)

Years ago we had this thing for dealing with the blind spots in these cars.....it was called.....turning your head, and looking. See, you didn't just glance in the mirror and rely on that. You actually had to turn your head and look. It was amazing. It was like the greatest thing ever invented. At various times I owned 3 Challengers, 2 Cudas, several Satellites and Road Runners, a Charger or two, and they all had blind spots. Hell, the giant station wagons with 14 glass windows had blind spots, but at the end of the day, you turned your head and looked. I had a 1970 Ford Torino GT, and the back window in that thing had to be 7 feet long, but it was laid over a such an angle that it looked very small in the rear view mirror. the sail panels on that thing could hide an 18 wheeler. Also, most cars back then didn't have a passenger side mirror. A passenger side mirror on most cars was an option. So...you had to turn your head...and LOOK. I'm amazed at how many people think that glancing in the side mirror is sufficient, when really, it's not.

Do you do your own oil changes and is it a pain to have to take the shaker off every oil change? If you could go back in time would not get the shaker because of the hassle with the oil change/shaker remove?

The Scat Pack comes with an available 275/40ZR20s with Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season Performance Tires with 20*9.5 inch Black Low Gloss Forged Wheels. You also get the Brembo 6 Piston brakes.

I have a 6 speed manual 09 rt i luv it I've also owned mustangs and camero and i luv the feel of a bigger body

*Since 2018, all stock Challengers come with the backup camera, even the SXT.*

All cars have to come with a back up camera came into law two years ago

GREAT VIDEO MAN. VERY WELL DONE. KEEP DOIN URE THANG, GR8 JOB. GR8 EXPLANATION N DETAIL. AND URE CAR IS REALLY NICE AS WELL, GREAT RED SEATS.

The Tulsa International airport just got in some brand new Dodge Challenger RT's (I fly into Tulsa from Dallas each week for work). Rented a red Dodge Challenger and absolutely fell in love with it. Ended up not flying home at the end of the week and drove the Challenger back to Dallas for the weekend. The one I was driving had the cloth seats, but the leather seats in this video are friggin' killer! I could not believe the power, and that "sport" mode was so much damn fun! I could not imagine what the Scat pack is like, or the Hellcat or Demon?! Damn!!

How much did your dad pay for this boat?

The blind spots are bad on the charger as well, but the chally is a little ridiculous. The real problem is the the seat latches. They will hang up, and the seats won't stay up until you get out of the car and finally find it's sweet spot.

I love my challenger. I bought mine brand new (never buying new again) and it's great. 2015 B5 Blue. I'm used to driving huge cars but the blind spots on this thing is a pain. Definitely opt for the blind spot sensors. Even if you are good at detecting that sort of thing, the blind spot sensors are soooo nice and make driving it so much easier. It's a blast and I encourage anyone to test drive one on the busy streets with the convenience and assist package. Hey, you can always turn those features off if you want to prove how badass you are or whatever.

Thanks for the video . You’re very young , but I respect this review.

I got a 17 Challenger SXT back in September of last year and it suits my needs, 305 is good hp. And I agree with that people try to race you 😄 but this is a good car. I chose the sxt over the RT because of gas, I get about 28 on the highway, and 25 in the city, not too shabby.🤩

I daily drive mine. And when I get a Demon I will daily drive that too

If you drive defensively and smart in adverse conditions you won't have problems generally speaking. I had a 73 Cougar when I was younger back in the 80s. That car had a huge blind spot, so I'm used to it. As for the people that want to race.... I haven't had that happen yet, but I have only had my SRT8 for a couple of weeks. I have noticed some drivers being a little more aggressive around me. 😃😃

I agree with blind spots...when I drove this car home I kept saying I hate it....but eventually fell in love with this car .... most definitely something you have to get use to ....💎💎💎💎 Its perfect for me and my kids...I am a mustang girl and always will be but....those days are over.... Great video

I put blind spot mirrors on my 2016 dodge challenger

In my opinion you really like saying "In my opinion" lol

I was on the highway and there was a dodge challenger that would speed up once I tried to pass him. I wasn't trying to race him, ffs I drive a v4 accord, it isnt even a contest. I then got in front of him (to be fair, only because a car in front of him slowed down) and pushed my car as hard as I could for fun. I only got to 120 mph and it was fun zigzagging between lanes at that speed with the challenger behind me. I had only seen my car as a means of transportation, that's why I got a Honda, it was cheap, reliable and fuel efficient, but after this, I am considering buying a fast car just for fun.

+KCars - You are spot on pointing out how "huge" the Challenger is. To me that is the genius of the design. To me, everything is in porportion and it does not look huge going down the road.

Ok... then get blind spot mirrors.. 3 bucks on amazon

I just bought a 2010 challenger V6 runs real good everything works paid 6500 I'm not sure if I did a good purchase amen the car is clean 136000 miles

Awesome video. Good information...

Everything you said is true I found this out when I bought one.

U can ride boats on street? Damn we in future fellers

nice boat :)

I went from having two mustangs, to a challenger, and i love it so much, but wow yea the mirrors and windows have really taken some time to get use to

I just bought a 2017 SXT Plus I love this car so much.

I love the looks of the challenger, I think they just made the suspension to soft, the interior to quiet, and to comfortable. I just wish they made a stripped down version of it.

I love my f$&n boat. it doesn’t matter what people call it. Yes, people try to race you. The rest, I make it work.

Blind spot? Stiff suspension? Both of those are a non factor with the SRT 392 and it's radar/blind spot detection system and active suspension as opposed to the Bilstein stiffer shocks on your Scat Pack.

So I read the title of this video, “Watch This Before Buying A Dodge Challenger”, and I’m like, too late I already bought one and love it!! Ok Now I’ll watch the video!!...lol. 😂

Love how he says just get the 6.4 instead of the 5.7 like it’s so easy 😂

I guess it’s a Challenge.

Nice video very informative

Hello. First of all - very helpful video. I currently drive BMW X5. I am thinking of getting a 2015 Challenger V6, 8-speed automatic instead of my SUV. Would you recommend this particular year of the car and this engine? In Europe it is hard to import bigger engines, like V8. Do you have a rough cost estimation of the maintenance of this engine and gearbox? Are they reliable? Thanks!

Car isnt that big,its under 200 inches long 197 or so...My 68 Charger RT is about 1 foot longer and is wider.. Ford Taurus is longer and wider than a Challenger,many Audis,BMW,Mercedes are longer,wider and hundreds of pounds heavier !! Adjust your seat then you can see over the hood and out the window..I have no issues seeing out the window on mine.. As for spinning,well I grew up driving 60's and 70's cars and none had traction..My 68 Chrysler 300 would spin at 25 mph roll and never got traction off the line,same with my 68 Charger RT 440 always spun..I spun down the 1/8 th of a mile back in 1975 when the car was 100% stock !! All old car recorded times are off because of tire spin... Think the tires are not wide enough..old cars had 185 / 80 series 14 inch 195 75 series were the norm..205 60 series were considered wide treads ! Even 215 wide tread were the Widest tires back then and Bias Ply,thus the 0-60 1/4 mile time for all old cars are bogus !! Enjoy your car ! I have 87,000 miles on my 2015 Challenger Hellcat,zero problems !!

In my Opinion you have to many opinions

My SXT Plus has backup camera loud factory exhaust Harmon Kardon surround sound 16 speakers. Also has blind spot warning.

All 2018 Challengers have rear back up cameras and available blind spot monitoring.

you forgot to mention to check for corrosion, lots of the challengers come as rust buckets already from the factory. My 12 year old chevy pick up has less rust on it than my 1 month old challenger. Didn't know that I had to lay underneath a brand new vehicle to check for corrosion before I buy it.........live and learn.

I want one bad lol

Great review

Nice car, i mean brutal beast !

I’m struggling with the decision of buying one. My wife has an SXT and she would die if I bought an RT Scat pack which is what I want.

Roast the tires and go up to a 305

Ayyyye OC is my favorite place to be!

Quick question man what’s your monthly on this thing? I’m stuck in between this and a Charger
