2014 Dodge Charger R/T

Dodge's full-size sedan, the Charger, is the brand's four-door muscle car, blending family practicality with a bold, aggressive look. It's genuinely quick and handles well for its size, though the ride is on the firm side, which is the trade for that sporty feel. The cabin is roomy up front, but the back seat is a bit cramped for a car this big, and the thick rear pillars can make parking a challenge. The available touchscreen controls climate, radio, navigation, and phone, and it's one of the easier systems to use on the road. The R/T sits above the SE with its V8 power, and below the SRT8, which has a bigger engine and track-focused suspension. Its 5.7L V8 makes 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque, routed through a five-speed automatic to the rear wheels, and it'll run to 60 in the mid-five-second range. The R/T's standard sport-tuned suspension firms things up noticeably, so expect a taut ride that pays off when you push it through corners.
