    I love my SXT Challenger. It's 305 hp V6 is more than comparable to the 4 bbl 383 Magnum V8 from 1970 which had a whopping 335 hp. When you own a 1000hp Hellcat, you are obviously going to be underwhelmed with an SXT. If you are a Dodge or muscle car enthusiast, don't be scared away because it's not a V8. You won't be disappointed. The V6, especially in sport mode, is pretty badass. I want a V8 like everyone else, but sometimes you have to be smart financially. My car was a steal at 23k for an SXT plus. The short of it, yeah it's worth owning.

    • @philricci2012

      The V6 SXT will move out as well or better than V8 Challengers of the early 70s (318, 340, 383) and use a lot less gas doing it. Pretty impressive for a car that weighs a lot more. You could get a 426 or 440 but not everybody needed or wanted that then either.

    Bought my first v6,,,,,, a 2015 Challenger, I always had V8 cars. I was worried sick that I wouldn't like the V6. Mine is the SXT Plus with the track pack which gives me a larger positraction rear end with upgraded suspension, 20" tires and the bigger front brakes. This car flies. From a stop light or on the Turnpike, or at 100mph, it cruses great, it passes great and it rides with a big car feel.I am not racing it but I drive it fast . No complaints with the V6.

      I drove a 2007 and 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse each for about two years. Compared to them a Challenger has no blindspot and vision is fine. I let the passenger's front seat up just a couple of notches so I can see out the quarter window so no problem. It's land yacht luxury coupe and in no way a sports car. Quick though and MPG is awesome. Got 32 once on a trip to the beach.
      Though not a sports car and it wallows a little on the road, at over 100 and up it is very controllable and smooth..

      Yes. Dodge sells more 6 cylinders than any other model. It is their most popular car model seller. 305HP is plenty fast for most who want good milage and a nice ride. Also it would be nice if Dodge can get the HP up to 350HP on the 6s, and maybe the RT to 420HP and the SCAT up 550HP. Who knows maybe the refresh will push it further.

    Just bought a "23" SXT Plum Crazy Blacktop and love it. I'm 65 and have owned the early Mopars while growing up. Not many 16 year olds had "68" Coronet R/T 440's, and at 17, a "69" Charger R/T 440 six pack. My hi speed days are over and this is the perfect Mopar for the classic look, easy on the wallet and very fun to drive. Great video!

    I have a 2018 GT. V6 with awd is great. Its a perfect daily driver for all weather conditions. Glad the normal SXT has sport mode, but the GT has performance pages and many features of the higher packages. 2 piston brakes, leather, moon roof, paddle shifters, etc. Plus the awd has a different suspension. A modified charger pursuit suspension. Def sits higher, curbs are no problem.
    Please review the awd. You reviewed the charger awd but the challenger awd is a different breed.. Sport mode and performance pages are great. Saving for a supercharger myself.
    Sport mode puts the car in awd. Being able to force awd is nice. I use it when pulling out into traffic. The awd will kick in automatically from certain weather conditions. I dont like the 40 temp one. It could be a perfect sunning day, but under 40 and it forces awd. Losing gas milage when awd is not needed.

I'd argue that just adding a cold air (or even short ram) intake for less than $300 gives just enough of a boost to make the SXT feel right.

I can tell you that this car is plenty fast. This car cruises like a BMW and when you punch it or go fast on tight curves it drives more like a compact sports car. I'm literally in love with this car and soooo glad I got the V6. I'm doing 80mph @ 24mpg, 100mph @ 20mpg. I live in western Michigan and last week drove in a snowstorm with snow on highway 31 @ 80mph passing trucks and SUVs with no slippage or issues. This car is great and totally worth buying.

    We borrowed one for our local weekly drag racing (legal at track). The V6 was a dial in bracket racing God. Left it in drive. Hit throttle on yellow light before green. Reaction times within a tenth. Ran 5 times all within 1mph and again 1 tenth. Sure it wasn't a rocketship but a darn fun night. Nothing broke. Zero prep (other than a shiny detail wash) and used 87octane. We only checked fluids and air pressure(we did not alter to race). Full on street trim. Such nice looking cars. We all had a blast. Everyone had a turn. More fun as a group than racing my V8 Vega Panel Wagon(which only I drive).

    Currently driving a SXT myself and love it. I got it for the looks because it just looks so masculine.

    Nice review. 👍🏻 I have a 2019 Scat Pack, which I love, but I’m considering getting an SXT as a second car.

      Why because a Scat Pack is not good as a daily driver, and going to the pump more often!

      @@SIDVENOM No, because some people use the V6's as winter beaters. Because that's all that the Dodge Caravan Challengers are good for.
