2026 Dodge Charger R/T

 In this episode, we share our first impressions of the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger. The Charger features new styling and a hatchback design, a twin-turbo inline-six-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive, and an updated interior that feels small, despite the vehicle's overall size. We also discuss what Dodge got right, where the Charger falls short, and whether we'd recommend it over other enthusiast-focused vehicles. Plus, we answer a question about the differences between racing fuel and premium gas, and how octane ratings and ethanol-free fuel can affect performance in regular vehicles.   SHOW NOTES: 0:00 - Intro 0:19 - 2026 Dodge Charger R/T Blacktop Overview 1:18 - What we like about the 2026 Dodge Charger 04:51 - Ride, Performance, Comfort & Daily Driving 17:46 - The Downsides: Interior, Controls & Practicality 36:05 - Would We Buy the New Dodge Charger? 41:12 - Audience Question: Is Racing Fuel Worth It?    LINKS: Review: 2026 Dodge Charger R/T: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/sports-cars/dodge-charger-review-a9212537968/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT Test Results: 2026 Ford Mustang: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/ford/mustang/2026/overview/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT Why You might Not Need Premium Fuel: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/fuel-economy-efficiency/why-you-might-not-actually-need-premium-gas-a6382185831/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT
