Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Charger?
I love the look of the car.
I bought mine 3 years ago; it was a former rental car, but the minute I saw it I fell in love.
Music system is excellent.
Seats are pretty comfortable.
Car holds 5 people fairly comfortably.
Car really moves.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Charger?
Dual exhausts.
Better gas mileage.
Easier cruise control.
Cup holders in rear.
Make it all-wheel drive (had to buy snow tires to get around in our NE winters).
2006 Dodge Charger Review:
Have had brakes replaced, tie rod ends replaced, and plan to have timing belt done soon (car has 85,000 miles on it). Wish I had the hemi, but this is plenty of car for me.
I really love this car! It's got attitude.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Charger?
Roomy, good everyday performance for price.
Despite what others say about winter driving, I haven't experienced a rear-wheel drive that handles better than the Charger or the 300 with their traction system. It's no front-wheel or AWD though, if that's what they meant. A couple of bags of sand in the trunk might help.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Charger?
At 180,000km, I have already had it in the shop 3-4 times for front end work. Tie rods, bearings, shocks, etc.
A bit of rust starting to show above the windshield.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Charger?
I like the power that's there when you need it. I just bought it today.
I had a 1968 with a 383 Magnum when I was younger. I also had a 1969 RT. Wish I still had both of them.
The 5.7 Hemi is awesome.
The stereo system is great too.
Weird cruise control handle.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Charger?
I haven't had it long enough to find anything wrong.
2006 Dodge Charger Review:
Mine is a Mango Orange Hemi. #2634 of 4000.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Charger?
1) Car looks great - very stylish and I get a lot of compliments on it.
2) Factory installed sound system is great.
3) Very roomy - haven't had any trouble with leg room for anyone.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Charger?
Would improve the way it is built - I have had numerous repairs, see below.
2006 Dodge Charger Review:
Too many repairs! (And most repairs were needed at the 40K-75K mileage range which is not a lot of miles for cars today.)
1) Lifters went out at 40K miles, just after it went out of warranty - $1700.
2) Had problems with a valve or sensor in the throttle system - $350.
3) Oxygen sensor - $350.
4) Several other repairs - can't even recall them all and most always cost at least $350 or more.
Also, now that my car has 105K miles it doesn't seem to have any power anymore and they are unable to give me a reason for it. I have done the required maintenance and it seems it has just lost its power over time.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Charger?
I hope by giving this review I don't jinx my car! However, I would have to say that I am very pleased with the performance and durability of my 2006 Dodge Charger SXT.
With over 95,000 miles, all I've done is change the oil every 4,000 miles, changed the tires, got a new battery and the periodic scheduled maintenance! That's it!
Drives smooth, and the style has not changed that much after owning the car for over 4 years. Most people think I am driving a 2008 or 2009. I hope to keep my car another 4 years and I hope my transmission will hold up for another 75,000 miles. I will get it repainted in late 2011 and I hope to keep on rolling!
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Charger?
The molding on the outside rear windows needed to be glued more secure.
2006 Dodge Charger Review:
No problems on this car! Don't want to trade it, might get a car that's a dud.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Charger?
Great looks.
I am 6'2 so, most import cars I do not fit in comfortably.
One of the bigger cars on the road that is great for safety, great handling and reliability.. I now have 108,000 trouble free miles!
Also love the sound system, I have the top model sxt.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Charger?
Well, I like the black leather interiors of the newer Charger, so that is how I would improve it! Otherwise they have the packages well done, s.e, sxt, R/T, Daytona and SRT.
Would have bought an R/T, but for the amount of driving I do, I couldn't spend the extra cash just for a bigger engine. I already have a truck and another high powered car, so as a daily driver the SXT is perfect.
2006 Dodge Charger Review:
Great car. It's used as my daily driver. It's an SXT (looks like an r/t 18 wheels fog lights ect) with the 3.5 h.o and 108,000 trouble free miles. I even ran it at the local drag strip it pulled a 15.57, not bad for a 4000 lb car with 2.82 rear axle ratio.. 7 second range 0-60 mph not bad for a 6 cyl, 4000 lb car!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Charger?
Comfort, room and style.
Better overall than your front wheel drive imports.
Very easy to upgrade, tons of stuff.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Charger?
1-Chrysler should have done a MOPAR SXT Performance upgrades which are available now. Complete dual exhaust.
2-Cold air intake.
3-Performance short tube headers.
4-Diablo sports or Super Chip tuning (W/MOPAR badging).
5-Complete or separate sway bars, spring and shock tunning.
6-Upgrade brakes to R/T specs w/ceramic pads (low dust).
7-A Supercharger! W/out the charger, 300-310 hp to the fly wheel, w/charger -400-425! Why a SE or SXT? More economical and most important, less weight which means better handling and 0-60 and 1/4 mile times to boot!
2006 Dodge Charger Review:
Looks, Style and Performance bang for the buck. GM and Ford, you can't touch this! Soon to be a proud owner.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Charger?
5.7 hemi is very responsive, steering & suspension make this car ride like a big sedan but steer and respond like a sports car.
Factory sound system is superb.
Very attractive exterior styling.
And the interior? Well it can seat 4 adults VERY comfortably, leg room is great for a family with 2 tall teenage kids.
Love the black on white gauge set also.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Charger?
While interior is very roomy and clean, the dash and door panels do lack some character and styling, kind of plain to the eye.
Mufflers might get a "performance upgrade".
2006 Dodge Charger Review:
Sweet ride for anyone looking for comfort, performance, styling, & affordability in a PRACTICAL every day driver that can seat 4 adults. (why didnt GM build something like this?)
