2016 Dodge Challenger SXT

The 2016 Challenger is a rear-drive muscle coupe that leans hard on its 1970s styling, competing with the Mustang and Camaro. The Challenger drives with a heavy, planted feel and strong straight-line acceleration, though its size shows in tight corners. The cabin is roomy for four adults, with a large trunk and comfortable seats, but rear visibility is limited by small windows. Owners report few major mechanical issues, though some note a V6 alternator recall and higher tire and maintenance costs. The SXT is the base Challenger, below the V8 R/T, R/T Scat Pack, SRT 392, and Hellcat, and it gives you the fuel-sipping V6 and a lower starting price. The SXT rides on standard sport suspension and 18-inch wheels, so expect a firmer ride than the base trim implies.
