The Good
The 2017 Challenger excels in performance, particularly in higher trims with potent V8 engines. Its retro design evokes emotional appeal, while the spacious interior and comfortable ride cater to practicality. While not the most fuel-efficient, it offers decent value considering the performance and features. Reliability is generally good, but specific trims and maintenance history are crucial.
The Bad
The 2017 Challenger's weaknesses include its size and weight, which affect handling. Fuel economy can be poor, especially with the larger engines. Some owners have reported issues with the Uconnect infotainment system and electrical glitches. Rust can be a concern in certain climates, so inspect the undercarriage. Brakes, especially on models used for performance driving, can require attention.

Bad service department.The dealer I bought it from was horrible , Twenty hills dodge jeep, They were misleading. I found out 2 days later that the car had been wrecked. I love the car but the Rack and pinion. is bad on it, The service department is horrible. Still haven't got the car fixed yet,
Concerned buyer on March 12, 2023
Beware of misleading prices.The listed sales price was not the real price for the car. The real asking price, without taxes, was $52000. Another dealer playing games. Beware

MY DREAM CAR...AND I HAVE NO APOLOGIES TO MAKE!This vehicle, especially after putting on various racing stripes and "Super Bee" decals (thank you Ebay), is a real "head turner" in the yellow color I bought it in! I get many a complement. As for me, I am not at all disappointed with my purchase after 1 1/2 years/5K miles of ownership. Its six cylinder engine is SUPURB...surprising power and not making the engine compartment so crammed. And I love the highway MPG. I DO get the occasional freeze up/cut out of the radio -- but that's perhaps every 2-3 months and is remedied (for me) in the next start up. But that's about it! This could be my last car purchase (I keep cars for 20 years, and I'm 63 years old)...but if not, I'll be buying another Challenger!!! 🙂 This Mercedes designed vehicle is SOLID! And I hope in their next version they don't overly mess with success!!! 🙂 I second the motion to bring out a special edition, "Roadrunner Edition"!!! I LOVED that old spoiler on the old ones!!! Camarro and Mustang could NEVER pull that off...!

I really love this carIt's so much fun to drive and own. I love it. I couldn't have chosen a better car for myself. The only downside, is the blindspots.

One of the nicest cars I've ever ownedOne of the nicest cars I've ever owned. Always wanted a car like this and I finally got it they were very helpful I feel good about my purchase

Still liking the dodge!Not a cheap car to purchase but it's really fun to drive. I really wanted the 8 but ended up with a fully loaded, 2 tone interior v6 with all the options I wanted. The v6 performance is very good and moves with a purpose. Interior is comfortable with a thick seat. The nav system is the best I have ever owned. Almost too many options to configure. The AC seats is a huge plus in my book. The heated seats and steering wheel will cook you. The v6 moves really well and I found it more fun to drive than the 2017 SS Camaro and 2020 Mustang. I totally recommend this vehicle if your looking for a sedan. The stereo hits pretty good but not amazing. The nav likes to yell at you which is a tad irritating. The back seat is useable for kids or adults you dont care for too much. The trunk is awesome! Most likely I will buy another one with the larger engine package as my next vehicle. I still find myself shocked to say that..... Find a nice one and a fun salesman and drive it like you stole it....
