FEATURES | 9 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

can climb to more than $38,000 with options
Kelley Blue Book

The 2008 Dodge Charger is outfitted with lots of standard features. Options are comprehensive on the Charger; Dodge’s sedan gets pricey quickly with some high-tech features added to its interior.

All 2008 Dodge Chargers get air conditioning, a tilt and telescoping steering column, AM/FM stereo with CD player and auxiliary iPod jack, and remote keyless entry. Cars.com says the Charger SXT adds an air-filtration device and a Boston Acoustics speaker system. HEMI-equipped R/T and SRT8 versions add sport seats, special badging and trim, and higher-end audio systems.

Kelley Blue Book reports a plethora of other options that include Bluetooth, DVD navigation system, automatic dual-zone climate control, adjustable pedals, a power sunroof, and heated, power-adjustable seats.

One of the more spectacular add-ons, according to Automotive, is the Sirius Backseat TV rear entertainment system, which brings a limited selection of satellite TV channels into the car’s backseat. Another option is MyGIG, which is a 20GB hard drive on which the user can store MP3s, video files, digital images, navigation map info--just about anything you can put on your home PC.

Conclusion

The 2008 Dodge Charger has some spartan versions—but lots of cutting-edge features are offered.

Other Choices:

About 30 years ago, just about every major manufacturer on the planet (except Mercedes-Benz and BMW) converted nearly every passenger car they had to a front-wheel-drive platform. More recently, Chrysler was among the first builders to rediscover the marketing (and performance) benefits of going rear-wheel drive with its 300, Dodge Magnum wagon, and Dodge Charger. We're glad it did, but that leaves the Charger facing off against several cars that aren't exact competitors. The following cars haven't an ounce of "performance" in their composition. Take the Ford Taurus--it's front-wheel drive and available only with a V-6. Same for the Toyota Avalon and the all-new Chevrolet Malibu. A V-8 can be had in the Buick Lucerne, but Buick's idea of performance is far less brash than Dodge's.
