I was in Idaho this past weekend for work. I rented a 2019 dodge charger in a sharp army green color. It had 4500 miles on it total.
Exterior: I like the looks, the body lines remind me of a old meets new sedan. Paint quality overall seemed quite good.
Interior : it was roomy, seats were sporty yet soft. Interior fabric was nice to the touch. Dashboard was a rubberized texture that was quite nice to look at and I think will hold up in the long term. Stereo system was a little too tech heavy for me, Climate control was built into it which I do not like. Visibility out the front was reasonable, quite good out the sides. Air conditioning was nice and cold. Trunk space was good for two full size suitcases.
Driving: The V-6 engine is quite peppy However the transmission was more clunky than I was expecting. I could feel the shifts during driving and when shifting from park to drive the whole car would shudder. Long term ownership of that transmission would concern me given the 4 day experience that I had. Fuel economy mix 50-50 was about 19-20 mpg, I was driving with a little bit of a heavy foot however. I was expecting a little bit better.
Overall: Excellent car to rent if you were just putting around town, I would personally get something more fuel-efficient if I were renting for a long-distance trip. I think 5+ years of ownership would be the max I would feel comfortable, the automatic transmission quality long-term has me concerned.
