The Dodge Charger comes with an abundance of trim levels to choose from. So which trim provides the best blend of style, performance, and affordability?
Nothing sets off a gorgeous car quite like a nicely-styled exhaust. Even the most mundane hindquarters can be dressed up considerably by a distinctive and thoughtfully-designed exhaust.

On average, today’s vehicles are significantly faster than they’ve ever been. Consider that a 2020 Hyundai Accent sedan making do with just 120 hp can run 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds, which absolutely obliterates the 9.7-second figure that a 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28’s mustered—and that “muscle” car pumped out 165 ponies! And that’s not even …
The burgeoning mid-size sedan segment has been nothing but competitive over the past couple few decades.

Some cars always stick out in your mind: your favorite car, your dream car, your first car, but for me, it’s the worst car that we ever owned. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this car with my whole heart, but man did it do me dirty. The BMW 328i is notoriously riddled with problems …
The Volkswagen Jetta was revamped for the 2019 model year in which it grew a little bigger and wider and its styling cues got a little sharper.

Ask a typical Honda fanatic to close their eyes and imagine what a Civic Si looks like and chances are that they’ll envision the 6th-gen or 8th-gen model.
