I like this lady, Edmund's is what motor trend use to be, a joy to watch and informative. "Not going to line up against a demon. Lining up with a demon now, going to try to beat him." 😁😁😁😁😁
I have this exact car in a MY2017. Everything you've said about it is exactly true. I've personally pulled the same test numbers as your team and it's consistant. I've been on three 13hr road trips in the 14 months I've had the car and it was extremely comfortable and trunk space is amazing. The last trip was three adults, 13.5hrs straight with a full trunk and a trip average of 28mpg. Best car I've ever owned It's fun, comfortable, spacious and performs wonderfully.
I was gonna say bring Carlos back because everyone else is boring but each time I watch a review with this presenter I'm like wow she really knows her stuff and very relaxed while doing it. Great review and you've a new fan
I own a 392 Daytona and love it. Yea, the interior is basic but I like that. And she's right, it's comfortable. This woman does a great job. There should be more like her.
Thank you for this review you made me want to get the Dodge Charger Daytona 392 for my next car option for sure. And you added the drag racing in your review which really helped to see how fast the car can go.
I like this girl a lot! She's good at reviewing cars and she's very professional. Great job, wish she were doing more reviews because I'm getting tired of a lot of the same old guys.
Good to see you again Elana! You are the only woman in the auto show business who is not there just to make the video more attractive but because she knows what she talks about. That really increases the show's credibility and we appeciate that.
I would buy the charger if I was younger and had a vehicle for winter but since I have 2 car seats 30yrs old ++, I will probably take a stinger and drive it the whole year. That 392 engine engine and exhaust sound though can never be replaced by that v6 turbo.
sadly they dont offer the hemi with AWD anymore i guess the take rate was so low but they were a beast I have a family member that lives in the mountins in PA that has one.
I drove a 392 Charger through 3 winters, all they need is a snow tire package. The cars are tanks, but do not even attempt to winter drive them on the performance tires - it wont even move on snow covered flat ground.
My cousin drives an escape bc he has a child and is 34. It's no bigger than a sedan. He feels he is old so he has to drive a crossover. I'm 32 and have 5 kids and I drive a 300, challenger, and my wife drives a Durango. If I have to I'd fit us in the chrysler. Long story short please don't let your 30+ determine your vehicle.
The 8-speed auto is actually not specific to "Chrysler" or Mopar vehicles. It is the ZF Friedrichshafen 8HP70 transmission which is used in many High end luxury/super cars, such as the Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DB11, Aston Martin Rapide, BMW Alpina B7, Lamborghini Urus, Rolls Royce Ghost, Maserati GranTurismo, Audi A8, and Jaguar F-TYPE SVR, just to name a few.
Purists will hate me for saying this but I think it would be awesome if Dodge made this available in AWD in their higher trim levels for us in cold weather, and think of the acceleration with that traction!
I think this is the first professional 392/485 Charger review I've seen, all the rest have been Hellcats or Demons. Now get Carlos to take it to Big Willow for a track workout.
You seem to be well informed about this car. I own a 5.7 Daytona and I’ve raced a Kia stinger and it didn’t out run me but I didn’t out run it so the stinger is not a competitor to the 392.
I don't have an issues with the size and weight or looks of what Dodge is producing. I also enjoy the color variation I love a a dark purple car or bright green, orange instead of 10 shades of gray. I like certain versions of the Challenger, Charger and Durango. It's the inside that just fails for me, these vehicles are just so long in the tooth and need a complete refresh. Having said all of the above I would ignore it all for a Magnum with the 392. I'd pay way too much for one with a a manual and AWD. I rally enjoy this reviewer, just had to add that.
Good review on a badass car! I prefer the Challenger myself, 392 is the sweet spot. Great courage going it with a Demon, and you beat a lot of cars before it! Good job!
2019 Charger Daytona 392 has lots of updates dash and every thing is leather, lots of black trim. all set pages. mine is basically a hellcat without the supper charger. and in 2019 Daytona is next one down from hellcat with right options
I have a question, you guys don't like the "rubber/plastic" interior, what would you guys recommend? I love my interior because I feel like it's specific to Chargers, and no other cars.
The stinger gt and charger 392 are nothing alike, and the stinger gt is about one full second slower through the quarter as well. @edmunds I have a lot of experience with both cars since I’ve work at both Kia and mopar dealerships
If I needed a V8 four door sedan that was also fun to drive, this would be it. Ford could learn a lot from Dodge, as they have nothing in their vehicle lineup that even compares to this.
I like the spongey feel of the breaks, ive driven cars whete the "bite" during normal driven feels like it's jerking you around and especially in traffic. I will agree the accelerater is a bit touchy but when you get used to it its good. I found out the hard way when I drove my Hellcat home the first day off the lot and with just a little rain the turn almost turned into a fish tail lol. But that being said it's very controlable even when you purposely slam the gas ;)
WoW... excellent review. i drove a base 2018 Charger and it was an excellent cruiser, extremely comfortable. Your car is so much better. You had alot of fun.
The Charger and the Stinger aren't that comparable. The Charger is a true full-size car. The Stinger is barely even a mid-size car, and that's because the Kia has a disproportionately large cargo area for it's small passenger area. Interior room-wise, footprint-wise, the comparison isn't even close, the Charger is just more car.
another great review sweetie - too bad about the "husband." LOL. Yep Dodge definitely makes some. unique products and this might be my favourite charger - the Daytona always came with the extra goodies one wanted.
I like this chick. She’s well versed. Very descriptive. She’s an actual auto enthusiast, not someone trying convince you they like cars.
Steven D I agree. She used to run Roadkill magazine, which I never ready. Kind of wish I would have.
She is a true gearhead who knows her shit.
well she does have big tits too
lol and the million dollar comment drops
and she starts to giggle when she floors it ... grade a waifu material! 👍
I like this lady, Edmund's is what motor trend use to be, a joy to watch and informative. "Not going to line up against a demon. Lining up with a demon now, going to try to beat him." 😁😁😁😁😁
Love Elana, definitely MotorTrend's Loss and a win for Edmunds
Agreed!!!!!
Compared to all the other guys, This was best car review I’ve seen in years. Kudos

Because she has a Dodge baby😅
OMG!!! Her laugh is so infectious! I love it! 👍👍🚙❤️❤️
I own a 392 Daytona and love it. Yea, the interior is basic but I like that. And she's right, it's comfortable. This woman does a great job. There should be more like her.
Same car, same opinions. Love Elana's review.
Cool review. Her line "heh, heh, heh, awww Hemi..." pretty much said it all.
Thank you for this review you made me want to get the Dodge Charger Daytona 392 for my next car option for sure. And you added the drag racing in your review which really helped to see how fast the car can go.
Man those things are huge.
Definitely one of the bigger performance cars.
Occult Kitty go buy a smart car bro.. and good luck if u get into a wreck..
Yep and is amazing how quick they are for their size, which speaks volumes for the gen3 hemis
💪🏼😎
Excellent review Elana! Loved how thorough you covered the details! Also loved that laugh you had as you had fun accelerating!
I take motortend lost another good person.
john mason greedy bastards
She's a freelance writer so she writes for many publications and websites. She still does work for Hot Rod.
I like this girl a lot! She's good at reviewing cars and she's very professional. Great job, wish she were doing more reviews because I'm getting tired of a lot of the same old guys.
Whenever they discontinue the charger Daytona is when I’ll cop. It’ll be a classic! Love it.
That was super fun to watch!!! I loved watching the Demon beat the Charger, and how you giggled and had fun the whole time! Nice video!
So glad you're working with Edmonds now Elana. Your content is top notch!
i love the seatbelt it shows the real big and heavy bumper..lol
Rude Rigo don’t think u need to point that out.
I like Elana. Glad to see her in front of the camera again
Good to see you again Elana!
You are the only woman in the auto show business who is not there just to make the video more attractive but because she knows what she talks about. That really increases the show's credibility and we appeciate that.
She has really stretched her legs since leaving hotrod and MT. Great review.👍
Great review. I've been living the Charger 392 life since 2015. Am I the only one that noticed her beautiful hands?
Too busy noticing them jubblies
Overwhelmingly positive feedback for her car review. Excellent work.
Holy $&@^#^% that demon launch though!!! WTF
“I’m not gonna beat that guy, but I’m definitely gonna try” I love her already! 💪🏼💪🏼👌🏼
I would buy the charger if I was younger and had a vehicle for winter but since I have 2 car seats 30yrs old ++, I will probably take a stinger and drive it the whole year. That 392 engine engine and exhaust sound though can never be replaced by that v6 turbo.

WarmSoftKitty who told you that info, you’re dead wrong so stfu and get out of here ! Idiot
Man she killed that review. Very fun to watch. Im debating if I should get a Scat pack or a Daytona ?!?!!
That Demon race was classic. Very entertaining video. Loved the reviewer.
Amazing review! You really demonstrated what the Charger is all about.
The scat pack puts a smile on my face so I can definitely respect that Daytona
Daytona 392 Life!
You are one of the best reviewers I seen Great job
Damn, this was a cool video. The drag strip footage was epic.
I think your “rental’s” brakes may be well used. The brakes on mine are hyper sensitive, as is the throttle. They match nicely.
Fantastic review ,
I enjoyed watching this very much.

Lama 67 no I agree, they need a similar system to BMW AWD for the M5. A system that would let you go from AWD and switch it to RWD
the Daytona 392 trim comes with AWD and front-axle disconnect.
unless that's not what you want...
Kevin Chan no all the V8's come with RWD only the v6's can come with AWD
source? i looked it up and as far as I can see v8 models are 2wd only
they used to sell RT AWD models sadly they axed it last year
Awesome video. The best one that I’ve seen on this channel in several months.
That Red Dodge Demon is a monster fast. Great video.
I went with the Ram 1500 Night Edition, but I still have dreams about the time I test drove this Daytona
Great review. Love the drag vs the Demon... 'bye....' you made me laugh. Thank you.
Good to see a real car chick doing a review on a real car!
I love watching this review. She does an amazing job. I also agree with her. Those cars are fun to drive at the drag strip.
I think this is the first professional 392/485 Charger review I've seen, all the rest have been Hellcats or Demons. Now get Carlos to take it to Big Willow for a track workout.
My FAV modern Dodge.
You seem to be well informed about this car. I own a 5.7 Daytona and I’ve raced a Kia stinger and it didn’t out run me but I didn’t out run it so the stinger is not a competitor to the 392.
Awesome review especially the drag race part keep it up
Great review! I own this exact car w every option. Love it. Wish I got the Hellcat...lol
That was a great review. Thank you for making and sharing.

That was a great review, dont even have any questions
Good review on a badass car! I prefer the Challenger myself, 392 is the sweet spot. Great courage going it with a Demon, and you beat a lot of cars before it! Good job!
Wow she killed this review! 👏👏
Good job!
Where is Carlos?
@evilmountainlion612 He need to do more videos. I would love to see both of them in the same review.
He really should just make his own review channels, hate to see his talent go to waste
@@Alumnikiid Totally agree, he would instantly get a ton of subscribers.
2019 Charger Daytona 392 has lots of updates dash and every thing is leather, lots of black trim. all set pages. mine is basically a hellcat without the supper charger. and in 2019 Daytona is next one down from hellcat with right options
One of my old friends got the scat pack and i didnt think it was comfortable at all. Although it felt very fast and love the way the car looked.
I have a question, you guys don't like the "rubber/plastic" interior, what would you guys recommend? I love my interior because I feel like it's specific to Chargers, and no other cars.
The stinger gt and charger 392 are nothing alike, and the stinger gt is about one full second slower through the quarter as well. @edmunds I have a lot of experience with both cars since I’ve work at both Kia and mopar dealerships
This was great👍👍👍👍Just ordered a 19 Daytona👍👍👍👍
Charger for the win
Love my interior in my 2015 Charger R/T!
Performance is great as well!
I don’t know about anyone else but I love love love real gauges, I hate it when companies go and use all digital gauges, it just doesn’t look as good.
If I needed a V8 four door sedan that was also fun to drive, this would be it. Ford could learn a lot from Dodge, as they have nothing in their vehicle lineup that even compares to this.

That Demon was insane!
Love these videos
Great video, presenter was excellent. Great Job edmunds!
Best damn car review I've seen in a long time. I never thought I'd subscribe to this channel but I have to now.
Flush, Fill, Bleed the brake fluid with a decent DOT 5 brand. Big FCA recall announced for several FCA products.
WoW... excellent review. i drove a base 2018 Charger and it was an excellent cruiser, extremely comfortable. Your car is so much better. You had alot of fun.
Dodge charger-big, brawny, ballsy American made 😎💪
Canadian made*
I enjoy watching this video. Well done.
Very good, again!
US car world is really different...
Charger over the BMW for the cost of maintenance wise And have to love the Character of the Dodge never gets old.
Can this car be a daily driver if your commute is 20mile round trip?
💙OnlyFan's of Elana would understand her love for big body Mopar's. 💙
Seat belt is so smooth 🤪😘
And this is the video that made me go and buy one same color
Lol 🔥
The Charger and the Stinger aren't that comparable. The Charger is a true full-size car. The Stinger is barely even a mid-size car, and that's because the Kia has a disproportionately large cargo area for it's small passenger area. Interior room-wise, footprint-wise, the comparison isn't even close, the Charger is just more car.
Elana....great review 🔥 👀
I liked your test drive mission on the Dodge Charger you the best training
Aren't the 2019 coming out soon !?
I really like this video---Very good job!
another great review sweetie - too bad about the "husband." LOL. Yep Dodge definitely makes some. unique products and this might be my favourite charger - the Daytona always came with the extra goodies one wanted.
Wish my wife could hang out with this lady for a while and catch the car bug. Great review.
Got the same car.. love it 🙏🏾
Dat Dude_392 me too 👌
Nice
#metoo, and #metoo. (erm. maybe that came out wrong. I have the same car also, and I love it too.)

Very well done. 👍🏿
Excellent review and video.

Awesome review! Bring more content like this.

How much did FCA pay for the dragstrip bit?
