2011 Dodge Charger Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...This engine is genius. It combines the dual overhead cam with variable valve timing to create a flat torque curve. All of that means there's great power no matter where you are on the tachometer something many engines lack as they put all of their power at the top end of the tach to save fuel. But it's the Hemi that will get your heart racing. The 5.7-liter V-8 mashes out 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque. It will make you squeal with laughter when those back tires chirp just a little and the engine lets out a beautiful, deep-throated roar. Really, this Hemi has two personalities... |

CarGurus' Review for 2011 dodge chargerSource: CarGurus
...It handles and stops much better than a 4,000-pound car should, offers 4 usable doors, is powered by a V8 Hemi and is surprisingly affordable – but it has a boring, slow 5-speed automatic. |

2011 Dodge Charger Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The Charger feels like a big car, and it's more at home cruising than carving corners. The steering tuning reinforces this, as there's plenty of power assistance so it only takes light effort to turn the wheel, which provides some feedback. The Charger has had one of Dodge's better interiors of recent memory, and the changes for 2011 are still welcome. From the tall dashboard to the steering wheel to the newly available 8.4-inch touch-screen, much has been updated. One welcome change is that the leading edge of the roof has been shifted rearward a little, making it easier to see stoplights... |

Why should I also consider these?
The rear-wheel-drive 2011 Dodge Charger lands in an odd spot in the market; it doesn't quite compete with luxury sedans like the BMW 5-Series and Infiniti M, but it has a different layout, sporting pretenses, and a lot more personality than the likes of the Toyota Avalon, Buick Lucerne, or Chevrolet Impala.
The Nissan Maxima has front-wheel drive but is more upscale and stylish inside, with an inspired but not high-performance feel.
For those looking more for comfort but with rear-wheel-drive poise and a true luxury-car feel, the Hyundai Genesis is worth considering, too.
A compromise—and a completely different beast—is the Ford Taurus SHO; with its powerful EcoBoost turbocharged V-6 engine and all-wheel-drive layout, it's more sophisticated but also more expensive.
