“Yes sir, we have a Sonata Hybrid for you...”

“Sorry, it looks like it was rented out. Here’s a Charger.”

Tf, an R/T?

Didn’t know they even rented those.

IMO one of the best rental cars ever. I had a great time in the SXT AWD model I rented in Alaska.

I used to love getting these. A little long in the tooth now, but still decent. The only thing that I’ve received that surpassed these was an E-class...

This makes me realize: The cars I like the most are all RWD.

Current gen Chargers are quite nice rides

Rear bias AWD, is best AWD. I spent a lot of time fooling around in AWD 300s and Charger when I worked at a Chrysler dealerships. Just wait for snow to fall, it the traction control off button and let ‘er rip. The way their AWD system is set up it can only send 30% of the tourque to the front tires, and I recon that’s not a bad thing.

the only Charger I’ve had as a rental was an SE with the 2.7.

R/T, must not be Hertz. I had a rental Charger from Hertz last year that i am pretty sure didn’t even have bluetooth.

Have rented the charger before and would do it again above most midsize imports.

I found that out on some dirt roads around my Grandpa’s place.

Good stuff indeed.

I rented a current-gen 300C AWD a few years back when I drove from Utah to Disnyeland. I wanna say it was through Enterprise? Ended up being a lot pricier though. Super comfy.

I was supposed to get a Charger last time I rented a car ... ended up with a Tahoe. I pitched a minor fit and at least got a free tank of gas out of it. I ended up loving the Tahoe, which I was not expecting.

I’d be like, “so are you guys going to credit me for all the extra gas I’m going to burn up over that Sonata Hybrid?” Not because I wouldn’t enjoy the Charger, but might as well try to get something else for free out of the deal.
