@@aysechrystaka 😂 It’s not a bad daily. I had one for a month while my car was in the shop and it drove fine. I got multiple compliments on it too from people thinking I replaced one of my cars. Non-car people don’t even know the difference between the models.
I got my 6 cuz I had no clue about cars. I just knew I loved the way the Challengers looked. Had I known, I would've got an RT. But, outside of the sound, it's not that much of a difference (performance wise) between the SXT/RT. Stock vs stock, the RT will win the race for sure, but it's not by a lot. And 3 years later, after all my mods, I'm still content with my SXT. And if I did get the RT, it would be for sound alone...and I wouldn't trade my SXT for it.
I also got a v6 because I legit fully didn’t understand cars. I just loved challengers and chargers. And being a daily driver and only going to work and home usually I’m completely content with my v6, but may get a v8 down the road possibly. But whatever I do it’ll probably be another dodge
One thing the video does not address is the difference in gas mileage of the v6 vs the Hemi 5.7. Comparing two nearly the same cars; The Dodge Charger R/T and the Chrysler 300 with v6. Though not the Challenger in this case but this is just to show an eye opening experience of what I experienced . Same road trip from South Florida to Reddington Shores, just north of Clearwater, FL. At 80 mph the Chry 300 v6 got 29 mpg and the Charger R/T Hemi got 27 mpg. Both cars used less than half a tank of fuel. At 70 mph the Chrysler 300 v6 gets 32mpg and the Charger R/T got 29 mpg. At speeds 65 mph and lower the mpg's between the v6 and v8 were only a 1 to 2 mpg difference. I was very surprised that there was only a very small difference in miles per gallon between the two engines, I was expecting a much larger difference. Well, not in this case. Now going back to the original question; should you buy a v-6? I would say no. Go for the Hemi version. I agree with the author about the price spread going from a v-6 to a Hemi. Yes, it's pretty steep considering it's at least an $8,000 to $10,000 jump to go with the Hemi. But, if you can swing it, do it. I think the 5.7 Hemi is a very fuel efficient engine for what it is and gives outstanding performance. This is based on my practical experience. I've been testing these vehicles for a long time.
I have one , a 2010 se , modified with true dual exhaust with Flowmasters , lowered, a cold air induction system, a 93 octane tune, so 300 hp and 275 foot pounds of torque. In 2024 it has 94,000 miles and the only problems I had was a bad door lock actuator and a battery. It has been a great car.
V6- Comfy Commuter not too fast but surely not slow 5.7L - brutal acceleration, yet capable of being a daily. 6.2- Weekend Warrior 6.4 Hellcat- Special Occasions only.
when i do my research i see the v6 isnt far off from the rt and the rt is a gas killer but i understand wanting a little more power but 305 hp on a v6 is a good deal in my opinion
I’m very happy with my 2022 Challenger GT AWD, it’ll be nice to drive year round. Good mileage. Maybe a little better for insurance. Personally I don’t need anything more and I’m very happy with my decision!
Dodge challenger is my dream car i dont care if i get a v6 or v8 but id prefer a v6 because im not using it for racing and also because these gas prices are stupid also i could supercharge it
Was talking to a salesman at my local dealership and he told me the SXT and GT outsold the V-8's. The auto insurance on a V-8 has to be well over $450.00 a month.
I absolutely love my V6 challenger. Yes I’m cheap bc I don’t have the money to play the V8 game along with all my responsibilities. However I will upgrade to a V8 vehicle in the future
i bought a brand new 2023 challenger green with black stripes sunroof sxt v6 it does all i need its fast enough to get in trouble and beat all the fords and chevys i pulled over the other night and being polite with the cop i got no ticket but he did say i thought u where going to run from me and they don't chase in my city because of the perforce of my challenger
I wouldn't be caught dead in it even if it was a 392.. The biggest and ugliest Tanks on the road today... Just put a turret on the top lmao... And no V6 without boost is going to beat my Mustang. LMAO.
I don't get it why would you wanna get dodge that weight as much a boat (and handles like it ) with a v6 just get it better mileage? It literally removes the purpose of it which is being fun . If you wanna a car that is fun and gets good mileage get mx5 or something
At 0:17 you said how good you fuel mileage is but look all iam saying is that buying a dodge with a v6 make no sense but hey it's your opinion and if your car make you happy when driving it then it's ok :)
@@unclearenemy Oh ok. I don’t own that car and at the end I do state I wouldn’t buy the V6, but the point of the video was that aside from power there’s not so much of a difference between the V6 and the low end V8 model that spending an extra $10k would be worth it imo. Some people just like the looks and don’t care about power. Those individuals should just buy the V6 model.
@@meshalsultan5468 It really depends on how good of a deal you can get a V8 for. People can spend their money on whatever they like, but the RT is only 70 more HP than the V6 and would get walked by the 2.5 ton SUV I’ve featured on this channel. Getting walked in the V6 you at least have an excuse. Getting walked in the V8 by a family SUV is just embarrassing.
@@Tosino831 I’d hardly call them muscle cars now. They’re land boats. If it’s not at least a hellcat then it’s a waste of money and you might as well get the V6. You’re going to get walked by most of the other brands anyways, so you might as well save the money.
I was disappointed that the video didn't mention fuel economy or acceleration performance differences between the V-6 & V-8 powertrains. What a waste of time.
@@eugenepolan1750 Eugene, this comment was a waste of time. In the time it took you to write that comment you could’ve pulled up the 0-60 times and fuel economy figures on Google. I’ll save you some time though and summarize it for you: neither are economical and both are slow AF. The V8 model is obviously going to be less economical, but faster. The point of the video was that other than the obvious, there’s not so much of a difference between the platforms that it would justify spending the extra 10k or so to go with the V8 if you’re a non-car enthusiast or someone who doesn’t care about having the fastest car. The V6 model is quick enough and comfortable as a daily driver. They look basically the same, they drive basically the same, and they both have the same somewhat mediocre quality interiors you find in most American vehicles. If you’re not getting the Hellcat then you might as well just buy the V6 model.
What did I say in the video? That I personally would opt for the V8, but that the V6 is a viable option for those who just like the looks and don’t care about the speed. At the end of the day they’re both slow anyways, so you might as well save some money and get the V6.
Like I said at the end of the video I personally wouldn’t opt for a V6 version of a muscle car. That being said 10k is a staggering amount of money for some. Someone else may care more about the looks than the actual power of the car. In spite of some of the sarcasm in the video for that type of buyer this might actually be a good daily driver. The same argument could be made for why buy an R/T when the SRT wasn’t that much more. Usually the choice just comes down to what someone can actually afford.
@ModestlyMinted As a huge car guy myself, you realize it's the "There's always a bigger fish" phenomenon. Only immature kids think YOU NEED A ____ engine or you're car sucks, yadayada. Just find something that satisfies YOU, and save the rest of your money for nice vacations, presents, nice meals, etc ❤
@@ModestlyMinted that’s not the same argument. It’s a v6 that gets v8 gas mileage and reliability vs a v8 that gets v8 gas mileage and reliability. Those v6s are god awful I know that for a fact
