ConsumerGuide

Like most new vehicles in the Chrysler lineup, the 2009 Dodge Charger is packed with standard features. Options are also comprehensive and can quickly push the price well past what you might expect.

According to ConsumerGuide, all versions of the 2009 Dodge Charger get features like "air conditioning, interior air filter, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, cruise control...AM/FM/CD/MP3 player," and full power accessories. Moving up to the Dodge Charger SXT, Cars.com notes that a "Boston Acoustics speaker system" is standard, while the Dodge Charger R/T and SRT8 get "heated front seats [and] a power passenger seat," according to ConsumerGuide.

The options list is enough to keep any potential buyer browsing brochures for hours. Cars.com highlights the availability of "an optional entertainment and navigation system," while Autoblog elaborates by pointing out that "the navigation system in the Charger [is] also equipped with SIRIUS traffic information." ConsumerGuide mentions that "newly available on the 2009 Dodge Charger is Chrysler's uconnect multimedia suite, which can include a wireless cell phone link, 30-gigabyte hard drive for storing digital music and picture files, and a navigation system with real-time traffic information." Kelley Blue Book mentions the availability of "a power sunroof," while Automotive reviewers rave about the available Sirius Backseat TV entertainment system that beams live satellite TV straight into the rear cabin of the Dodge Charger.

Conclusion

You might be tempted by the wide range of features on the 2009 Dodge Charger, but be aware that a tricked-out Charger can run well into the $40,000 range.

Other Choices:

There aren’t any other rear-wheel-drive domestic-brand sedans that directly face off against the 2009 Dodge Charger. Its closest rival is likely the Pontiac G8; the G8’s performance is excellent, with handling that surpasses that of the Charger, but appearance can mean everything to sport sedan buyers, and the G8’s sheetmetal just doesn’t have that magic. For those interested in a little more luxury and a more conservative appearance, the Hyundai Genesis is a new and very formidable rival; especially in V-8 form, the Genesis provides respectable overall performance with a feel like luxury-brand cars costing $10,000 more. The Nissan Maxima is another rival; its styling and interior are eye-catching and sporty, but its more laid-back performance character doesn’t quite match its looks. The Ford Taurus is another alternative in the V-6 realm, but it’s a different type of vehicle altogether—comfort-oriented and tops for safety. However, things might get more exciting next year when a new Taurus SHO performance model debuts.
