If you buy an sxt someone will say “should’ve bought an RT”. If you get an RT someone will say “it’s not a hellcat”. If you get a hellcat they will say it’s not a demon. One thing about these cars is they WILL attract a lot of haters from my experience.
True
gotta tell em "you have one?, no? okay then" haha
Yeah as soon a I got one this exact conversation came up. Haters gonna hate
Like i care what someone says ... i buy a car for me, not for them.
Yup! No matter what one you buy, some troll with an ego will try and discourage ya. If they do, just blow the turd off, and chalk it up as another ignorant comment from a talking hole. Funny part is, Dodge claims Challenger owners are apart of a unique friendly community...🤣
I've had an SXT for a year now and realized there are 2 types of Dodge people. The majority, that are just glad to see another Challenger/Charger. And then the "Why not a Demon?" people.
Here is a fact : I had a 2018 SXT challenger. It was hands down the best daily driver ive ever had . 114k miles and NEVER had one problem with the car . That car never let me down , I took it across country 3 times . I drove it every day where I went to clients houses every day . The stereo was good . The car was comfortable, the trunk was huge . It was quick enough, and drove great in heavy and sooo fun in light traffic . Gas mileage was decent. And the car just looked cool , smokey quartz , black tinted windows , and 20 inch bling blings. I LOVED that car .
I upgraded to a 2021 GT 2 days ago because I was just so happy with my experience with the car .
Sure , RT or hellcat would be crazy fun.
But really as a daily driver, it made no sense for gas and traffic .
So yea , don't let People hate , if you like that car and want one , it's a good car , it got me everywhere and fun af to drive .
Enjoy
How's the gt? Better than sxt
What's the improvement on the gt over the rxt?
Im saving up for this while im in the Army. This will be my first car. Its been my dream car for years.
I just bought one it's been a dream of mine as well. 🍻
Good choice!
I just got one this year brand new 2020, it's been my dream car since I was a little kid from Dukes of Hazzard but when it came out I always wanted one and couldn't get one and finally was able to!
@@alexandertaylor2502 nice! Im actually going to save up for around 3 years of my military contract and try to get one with a 5.7L hemi. Im just going to buy a cheaper reliable car in the meantime.
@@Mr.Ripper113 perfect. As a Marine I pretty much drank the payday away lol. A nice ride is way better!
Been driving an optioned out 2015 SXT Plus for almost 6 years, 100K miles, as a daily commuter. Easily the best overall daily driver I've owned. Comfortable, quick (especially in Sport mode), great gas mileage, reliable, and a good amount of tech. Really have had nothing but good experiences with it.
wow great.... what were the major issues that you had with this car? I am planning to buy one by the end of this year.
Great gas mileage? On Mars or Jupiter bro

Hows the car in 2022?
This video just reminded how badly I want this car. Definitely my dream car.
There is no other car that I desire more than this beauty and please lord may I get my money I'm saving up for it as soon as possible 🙏
"This car is just begging to go faster" LOL! That car is so nice!
Own a 2023 Challenger. Always wanted one as a kid. After spending money on ‘sensible’ cars, I got this car as an early retirement gift to myself. It is unbelievable and turns many heads. People with more expensive European sports cars stop me and tell me it’s a beauty. Dodge did a great job and you can’t go wrong with it. Sexy muscle car at an affordable price. Dive right in you all, the water’s fine!
This is the lowest trim and it still sounds good and is fast 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I bought this car recently in the frostbite blue color and it's been worth every penny. amazing car.
🙌🏼
Nice! I got the 2021 SXT in knuckle white and I love it
@@annax7815 I just ordered my 2021 sxt...I was in a toss up between white knuckle and granite for me...I went with granite and black stripes up the middle....but that white is smoking hot as well !!!
Love that color so much, trying to find one as well
Me too! Got the 2021 GT all bells and whistles in Frostbite.
I’m 16 and am buying a 2016 SXT! I’m so exited!!

Congrats man, 300 hp beast!!!
My son's dream car has always been a '71 Challenger but, since they're nearly made of unobtanium, he decided a new Challenger was the way to go. Being under 25, for the insurance break he bought a new base '20 Challenger SXT. He absolutely loves it, and I agree that it's a great car with plenty of features.
Now that he's nearly 25, he's looking for a Challenger R/T. Who knows, maybe he'll try to get an SRT or a Hellcat. with any of them, hard to go wrong. Great cars!
I bought the same exact car 2019 for 22700 Black Friday sale here outside of Atlanta. I’ve added stripe Kit. New wheels ect. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned. I’m 52
Was that the price with fees? I just traded in my Ford Fusion for a white 2020 sxt
Getting me a scat pack shaker widebody delivered here in about a month!!! I’ve owned a challenger in the past and I kid you not... it’s a badass car

Nice! I'm getting the same special ordered soon!
Getting the same tomorrow 🤞🏾
This has to be the most thorough car review I've seen. Thank you for all the details about the gauges, interior, etc.
In my teens I had a 73 Challenger with v8. Only 240 horses. And it drank the gas.... I really couldn't afford the gas driving hard. Fast forward to today's challenger. 305 horses with a v6 with 30 mpg on the highway. Yeah I'd drive the v6.
I'm a huge fan too of the Dodge Challenger SXT! Thumbs up for a nice review of a truly great sports car!
First time watching one of your reviews. Very well done! Like your commentary & love the flooring it!
I've seen a LOT of these types of review videos ever since I got my Challenger In January, and I gotta say... This is one of the best ones. You go through a lot, very confidently and very thoroughly. Except the "oil life x2" portion, where one is oil life and the other is the amount/capacity, I believe. I'm actually surprised you didn't go into the specifications on the details of the signature headlights, though. Most reviews always go through those. Also, being a DD I drove 4 friends home in mine. The space, in my opinion, is actually very sufficient and luxurious for this specific vehicle.🤷♂️. I am also 5'10", and I have plenty of space, even with passengers. All in all, I give your review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Lol. Very well done.👏🤘
Fun! I remember renting an R/T last 4th of July. My Dad and I were super excited to try it. Now at this point, I know it'll never happen again. We're always given Malibu's.
Just bought mine, she's a beauty and a 2021! Very similar and I love the features! Awesome review
This is how you do a review! Very detailed and you do a test drive
Keep up the informative reviews!
I had to move up the front seats a bit, my adult son and his friend felt good about the back seats. He even complimented me on how comfy the seats were.
This is the best review on a Dodge Challenger SXT out here loved it!!!❤
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And happy new year!!!
@@100RentalCars , and u have a bless New YEAR TOO.
Great review! Thanks!
Funny thing about rentals is one, sometimes, finds a rental model to buy later.
Last January, I rented a truck to pick up car parts for my daily classic BMW.
They brought out a 2020 Silverado Crew Cab.
I liked it enough to buy a 2017 Silverado Crew Cab last month (the newer ones were out of my budget.)
Now the BMW sits happily safe and I drive it, happily, every month or so.
Thanks for the vids! :)
I'm on my second Challenger SXT. With manufacturer rebate ($5300), dealer discount ($1276), and very favorable trade in ($15,460) on my 2016 with 55,000 miles on it, I couldn't pass up the upgrade to a 2020. Says something too that my trade in went for sale on the dealers lot as a CPO. It was 100% reliable with only scheduled maintenance needed. I'll disagree with your back seat assessment. The Challenger back seat is way roomier than a Camaro or Mustang. I'm 5'10" and with the driver seat adjusted for me, adults can fit back there just fine. This is absolutely the best long distance road car I've ever owned. Comfortable and quiet with gobs of power, it eats up the miles effortlessly and I always arrive at my destination still refreshed. And you can't beat the styling...best retro look vehicle on the road IMO. There's a reason why Challenger sales have continued to increase year after year, despite it being a 12 year old design with only one interior upgrade and one minor exterior change in all that time. Love my Challenger SXT...both of them!
Great review. V6 Challenger/Chargers are nice everyday driver. 5.7 is the sweet spot but nothing wrong with the V6. Keep up the good videos brother thank you.
Got curious about what it's like to drive the v6 version, glad I found this video - great review.
Really appreciate the super detailed review - subbed
Best car review video I have ever seen
The 485 HP 6.4L that I rented last year was a gut wrenching, rubber burning, thunder buggy.
I've test driven a few of these, the v6 is surprisingly quick. I rented an RT and man the sound and torque of that hemi is awesome. I'm going to buy one and am leaning towards a GT, mainly because I have a government job and know I would get into trouble driving that hemi everyday. Also the GT and RT come with much nicer bolstered seats and the large hood scoop. The GT felt a little quicker than the SXT, I believe it has higher rear end gears. Nice review, looks like you had fun.
The gt should be awd.
@@Sak-zo1ui sxt also comes with the awd option
GT is the BEST version if your looking for a muscle car to play with in the snow. Keep in mind, you can only get AWD in a V6. (Engine bad ass)
Absolutely true..
The Gt isn’t hemi isn’t it still a v6????!
Always really liked the Challenger. The v6 model looks great i think, plenty of power.
Have to agree with you about the Challenger. Always one of my favorite rentals. I’ve got the same motor in my 200 convertible and it’s a blast! In central IL I only get to use it 7-8 months a year!
Nice review!! I drive an RT Plus Shaker with the 6 speed manual, and it is menacing. 8.4 inch touch screen, Brembo brakes, etc... All Challenger Trim levels are amazing because they stayed true to the design roots.....Cab space is actually better than the Mustang and Camaro...
I’m getting this for my first car! Thanks for the video
I love this awesome video, your such a nice guy
This will be my first car in a few months and gotta say thank you for the review man
Wow! Congratulations! I hope you enjoy it!
That’s one Hell of a first car...
Same here do u like the car man?
@Ryan Jan r32 if you can afford
R34 might be easier if you're up for it I think
Thanks for the review! I was thinking of trading in my Ford Fiesta since it’s such a slow car and takes me forever to accelerate and get to the speed limit. I didn’t know anything about the challenger but now I feel like I have some good information. Much appreciated!
I’m barely 15 and this is my dream car
Thanks for doing a great review on this car. Octane red is my favorite color, but the deal breaker for me is the lack of leg room. I usually have more than one passenger with me, and whoever is in the backseat would have no leg room as I am 6' 2".
Great review! Thank you
This video helped me decide on which car I should get
I recently bought my first Challenger, bought used one a 2015. To be honest the reason why I started watching your vid was the paint job on into pic on your Challenger was the same as mine, then once you got into the vid I realized it was a different car, was a little disappointed for that reason, but other than that your actual review was quite good. I noticed that there are very few differences in the 2015 and 2020 and mainly being in access to the back seat. My wife calls it a 2 seater, I say well it does have a back seat, and she reminds me that nobody is getting back there so it is a 2 seater. :) Other than that I love my Challenger which I have only had for couple of months and enjoy the driving experience like you do. My 2015 in 2021 had about as much mileage on it as your had in this vid so it was a real good deal for buying a used car.
Mine also came with the chrome gas cap and while I am a fan of chrome for the most part, I always thought the chrome gas cap was out of place so I replaced mine with a black cap which is the color of my car and I think it looks much better. I've done a few other mods to my car to make it more as to what I wanted in my car that it didn't come with as it was a pretty basic trim package.
Great review and you could make all of us Challenger owners proud.
I want to drive this car rn and I’m 15 I love everything abt it I’ve always loved cars like these
I love my Challenger T/A so much, I'm thinking real hard about getting a V6 awd for winter and commuting back and forth to work. Really need to replace my truck though.
so glad you were able to grab a fun car!
Found your great review offered by YT... Literally week before you published it I got brand new 2020 GT AWD. V6 Challenger is more a classy cruiser than a muscle/performance car, but all around is a very nice blend - great look, a lot of comfortable room inside, great ride and fairly enough power for everyday use. For me, as European driver just jumping up from our midsize cars, the 3,6 L V6 has really good amount of power. Of course, the V6 is lacking the low end torque of V8, but the transmission does a great job being well paired with the engine, keeping low rpm at cruising and making crisp downshifts when floored. And the sound is not bad for V6 at all:-)
Just boughtine a week ago....and man I love it !!!! octane red!!!!!
I rented one of these SXT's myself a few years ago. Hands down the best rental I ever drove and the closest driving experience to my old '76 Chevelle Malibu than any other car I've driven since selling the Chevy. Hence, why I would love to get one of these. Not now, though, everything is ridiculously expensive. Great video, and this is a great color on the Chally
Absolutely true....this car sold new at 21 grand 3 years ago.....now it's 29+.....stupid to buy anything new right now.
I don't have a 2020 challenger.. but I do have a 2020 SXT charger 3.6 blackpack edition gloss.. with a traction/sport mode standard. When disabled traction it automatically goes into sport mode. You'll see it big on your front display. I got it in December and love the car. You do get a full 7 inch screen display with no bezels.
I love how excited he is 😂
Another good review. I had a 1973 Challenger with the common 318cu V8 with the slapstick auto in college. I purchased it for $2500 ion a used car lot in 1982 in Tampa to replace a Datsun B210 my folks were kind enough to give me until wrecked because a cop driving her Corvette crossed in front of me and another car. Her insurance paid me the money to buy the 73 Challenger.. .It was a non A/C equiped model in Florida. I loved that car except from June to September. :-) Thank you for reviewing the base Challenger.
I just LOVE my 2020 SXT Challenger
Price bro ? New or old
I just bought a 2019 challenger sxt indigo blue i love it
Gas cap looks better in black.
I just ordered a 2021, I was in love the first time I saw it. Major selling point: you can get them in AWD. I was looking at an Altima until I found out that these come in AWD.
I live where the snow gets bad sometimes, and they don't always plow the roads properly.
Does the AWD affect performance at all?
@@vybes8688 yes makes it better . worse gas mileage tho
Was just at lot 3 days ago and was about to get this one in blue. I end up getting an 2017 sxt plus. It only had 3600 miles on it and saved me like 8k.
Agree, the SXT is a fun rental and gets great mileage. I believe I was averaging 30 mpg. Rented one on a family vacation to Disney and took it down to the keys. Fit all our luggage and 2 kids for a week. How many 2-doors can you do that in?
Great review
I have the 2021 SXT I AM LOVING IT
We had a 2013 base model SXT for a rental for a weekend trip back in 2013. It was a great car. Although now that Enterprise and Avis/Budget rent R/Ts, I'd love to try one out.
If your coming from anything but a v8 the sxt is fun I have a 2020 challenger sxt and I came from a Honda Civic lx and I love the sxt my real goal is the 5.7 hemi but for now the 3.6 is fast enough and fun honestly if your not taking your car to the track or racing it anything over 300 horsepower is just unnecessary
You must be well over 6' tall! I'm 5'10" 190lb and I found quite adequate the back seat on the driver side just as I set it while I'm driving it. This was the reason I bought this and not a Camaro. Any way, great video!
Great review, nice video angle,
Pretty Challenger. You have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving 100 Rental Cars.
Wow this is a late 2020. Must of sat during Covid. Always nice to get a brand new car.
6:30-6:40 look at how quickly that tachometer needle is shifting
For opening the doors: Rather than palm facing outward and grabbing the door handle by the front edge, it looks like palm facing inward then sliding a couple of fingers through the loop would be more comfortable.
I just a bought 2019 yesterday. I'm having to much fun. My new favorite car
Nice! Congratulations! What trim and color did you get? My favorite has always been the Mango Orange. Love that color.
currently 15, looking for cars because my parents may buy me one, this will for sure be the one id want. Thanks for the review
I would say get a Toyota, Honda, or Mazda for a first car. If you want a fun to drive but reliable car, definitely look at the Mazda 6 sedan.
Rich parents
Not perfect, but really great in many ways; I like this car! Thank for your video!
Thanks for going over the speed limit
The sxt isn't as fast as the higher trims but it's a better daily car and has enough power.
Well said. I *WISH* I could get my hands on a higher trim level. I bet the driving experience would be _AMAZING_ . But, I don't know how realistic is is for most of us to drive/afford something like that. So I'm pretty happy I at least for a chance to drive the SXT.
@@100RentalCars I prefer the v6. It still has over 300 HP which isn't bad. My current Dodge only has 200.
I’m going to buy mines soon that’s awesome
This will be my first car!
I drove a rental Challenger SXT when my Alfa Romeo Stelvio was wrecked. I really was surprised by the performance of the SXT.
I have a 2018 SXT blacktop edition it had 53k miles only exception for getting it was it was a lease vehicle so you have to abide maintenance by the contract, it’s a amazing I’m only 20 I had a Chevy Cruze, Honda Civic EXL, so it’s a good daily when I get a better job, after college or possibly before I’m getting a scat pack
Thank you for this vid. I'm thinking about getting one I love the old school style it has its unfortunate I love mustangs thru the years, but in my opinion thier not making them nice and aggressive like they used to anymore.
Love the octane red
Perfect first car!!
Just purchased my 2020 sxt in that awesome f8 green
How do you like it so far
@@cocopuff6810 I’m loving it!!!!!!!!
Someone ran into me and totaled my RT a few months ago. A bittersweet end, it had its time. Widebody hellcat will be mine soon
I’ve had my 2020 Dodge Challenger for almost 2 years now & I love it still. I’m not the type that’s into racing or speeding so I’m fine with a v6 & I just love the classic look of the car always have. I get people on the daily with there v8s trying to race me lol
Yo I’m not sure where you live but how’s the gas? I’m from Cali and drive a Honda Accord rn and it’s getting a bit ridiculous rn with the prices but I’m sure it’s a bit more with a challenger so was curious what it’s like for you
I actually like the sound
when i move to america from australia this will be the first thing i purchase as it is one of my favourite american cars and it is actually cheap only 28k which is very nice
I love the Dodge Challenger SXT , I happen to own one in ment condition for over 5 years and she’s been very good to me not to mention a lots of fun to drive as well and I just purchased a brand new Dodge Challenger SRT 392 , but still have my SXT that my daughter enjoys driving as well …. She wants my SXT 😄 Nooooo !
Sounds to me that you might be a secretive Mopar guy. These kinds of vehicles will do that to you! Yea, they might not be the greatest cars in the world but they’re definitely fun to drive. I drive a ‘19 Ram so I may be a bit biased, but I love renting Chargers or Challengers whenever I get the chance.
Great review, you sound like Steve Carell
I got a 2018 sxt plus same exact color as the one in this videos be the only difference is I got the black top package I’ve always wanted one of these cars and I got it even tho I wanted a v8 the prices for v8 are expensive to me but I’m happy I got the v6 got with only 15,400 miles on it and done 3 mods to it already
Awesome video! I’d be lying if I said I loved this car, but I still like it, it just isn’t for me!😸😸
Some people will ask me "Why don't you buy Hellcat?" But it's ok this is enough and fun model
Bc not everyone wants to spend 70k
Not everyone wants to pay that gas price
I have a 2016 SXT v6 and if you want it to sound more v8-ish I got Magna Flow Exhaust for 500.00?
But not everyone wants to pay Hellcat gas price either
Прекрасное видео!
My 18 Gt is AwD it’s so fun to drive.
It retails for 33,000 when it was new of course.
