    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.

      So for 26k I will have
      500 horse power
      19 miles per gallon
      My insurance won't be as high
      And when a v8 takes on my v6 and I just take off that's just the icing on the cake

  • @moonbeamskies3346
    @moonbeamskies3346 6 лет назад +6

    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.

    • @kitoyobeni1
      @kitoyobeni1 5 лет назад

      That 300hp has a very different feel though. The torque is lacking and you get that hp at higher revs than a V8. Not saying bad, just different.

  • @gphillimo
    @gphillimo 6 лет назад +25

    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.

I drive a 300 with the newer 3.6L V6, and its more than enough power, considering my commute doesn’t allow for me to open up the throttle very much anyway. There would be times when the V8 would be fun, but most of the time the V8 would just give me empty bragging rights.

    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 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.

    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'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.

      Marspeed I’m not sure about up there, but down in the US, retired police Chargers are pretty common. I found mine with the 5.7 for just $5k at a dinky little car lot. Granted it was a 2006 and had some problems, and I assume you’d want to upgrade from an 09, but if you’d choose a V8 over the features of a newer car, that may be a good route. That’s what I did. Doug DeMuro would certainly be able to get a decently long video on my car’s quirks, but I love it anyway. lol

    Most people don't have a daily, obviously.

    @chuckvt5196 5 лет назад +1

    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? :)

    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...

    "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.

I have nothing to prove or anyone to race and I found a v6 charger for 15k and haven’t decided what to do.

    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

      You’re not alone, the V6 is super popular. The AWD is also on many SXT models. It was GT only certain years (around 2017-18) but they made it on both SXT and GT for the last couple years. In my honest opinion, stock it sounds okay. A lot better sounding than any four cylinder. But it doesn’t sounds like the Hemis and this 3.6L sounds really awful when you add an exhaust to it, not muscular but raspy and ricey.

It's just prefence but muscle cars with a 6 cylinder? That's not true muscle...

      @skull20002000 6 лет назад +1

      King of The Castle put a brand new gtr... against a 2005-7 saleen S7... good luck. Like I said 6 cylinders can be fast and powerful so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here. V8 kings are gt500, gt500 super snake, coyote mustang, hellcats, demon, zl1, etc. The list goes on. Now back to what I said if you want power the v8s will have more power than v6/6 cylinder cars. 6's need help like a turbo. If you could put the same turbo and same level of build on a 6 and 8 cylinder, I'll save you the trouble the v8 would out power the 6. There is a reason the fastest cars have 8 or more cylinders, it is because they can handle more power and go faster.

    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

    There is one and ONLY one reason anyone buys a v6 charger, mustang, camaro. And thats price. You can try to make reasons about anything else but its not true, its simply comes down to "its cheaper". Gas, insurance, trim options, everything you mentioned is only 1 reason, the price. Im not hating though because it is you people buying the shitty rental versions of that car that makes the company enough money to increase our v8's power and technology for the years to come. :)

      just go hellcat. Going from R/T to SRT isn't a good jump.

      r/t to SRT is just a few more luxury items. only real difference in power is the R/T,Scat,SRT to the hellcat
