OVERKILL
$100 Site Donor 2021
While the wife's Charger is in the shop for some bumper damage that happened about a month ago (not at fault) she's in a black on black 2015 Durango V6 with the latest UConnect and leather.
Initial impressions:
- The eight speed transmission is delightful, I was quite happy with the programming and the gas mileage so far has been exceptional. My only gripe would be the lack of "creep" from a stop when you release the brake. You need to apply the pedal to get much in the way of movement.
- The seats are of good quality with plenty of support and the seating surfaces are excellent.
- The interior materials are all soft touch and of high quality. The dash is not insanely deep like older Dodge vehicles, which is a welcome improvement. The digital/analog cluster is also nice and has a variety of modes to suit your preference.
- The UConnect system is the same as in my SRT-8, it is excellent.
- The brakes are fantastic and modulate very well.
- The steering seems to be weak on the self-centre side, which makes you feel like you are having to provide a bit more guidance than should be required when driving down a straight stretch of road.
- The back-up camera is clear and has the moving direction lines and works well in the dark.
- The wheel feels a little thin for my taste and has some stitching that you can feel around the crossmember. The controls are well laid out and easy to remember but the discomfort of the stitching takes away from that.
- The interior is quiet at speed and the ride is excellent.
- Blind spots are minimal, though I find the pillars a bit more intrusive than I'd like.
- The kids love the dual independent screens on the back of the front seats. They have a myriad of individual inputs and they can also share the blue ray player that is in the centre console.
- The "knob" shifter takes some getting used to and I don't like it as much as I do a traditional lever.
Overall we like it quite a bit. My wife is EXTREMELY fond of it and I think it may be hard to get her back into the '06 Charger after this
