2015 Dodge Charger vs. 2015 Ford Mustang

The process of selecting a new car from all of the options out there can be trying. Buyers have to take into account power, mileage, comfort, and style, among other factors. Luckily, drivers in the Oxford, Loganville, and Conyers area have a great opportunity to trim the fat from this important decision-making process: our comparison of the 2015 Dodge Charger and the 2015 Ford Mustang.

Power and Transmission

Who wouldn't want to have a little fun revving up a powerful engine? The base engine of the 2015 Dodge Charger is a 3.6-liter V6, while the 2015 Ford Mustang has a 3.7-liter V6. The former achieves around 292 to 300 horsepower and the latter 305.

Though the two are comparable at first glance, for a few more bucks, the Dodge Charger comes with the option of an upgrade to the powerful V8 HEMI, giving it a whopping 707 horses to command.

The 2015 Ford Mustang offers both a six-speed automatic transmission and a manual transmission. The base model of the 2015 Dodge Charger, on the other hand, gives you a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. That way you can be sure that no rock can jolt you out of balance.

Fuel Economy

With the rate at which gas prices fluctuate across the country, it's no wonder even owners of powerhouse vehicles are concerned about fuel economy. At the very least, you want a car that can get you places fast and in style by maximizing the efficiency of its consumption.

The 2015 Dodge Charger and the 2015 Ford Mustang base models are neck and neck in that department, with the Mustang giving you about 17 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and a combined estimated 21 mpg in total. The Charger, meanwhile, achieves 16 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway, for a combined average of 19 mpg.

The difference in mileage is negligible at most, but the disparity in power and pizzazz is apparent for all to see.

Warranty

If you're primed to invest in such a powerful machine, you want to know that your investment will be protected. Here are some of the differences in warranty coverage:

• The basic warranties of both cars are identical, providing coverage for three years or up to 36,000 miles.
• The 2015 Dodge Charger's powertrain, however, will be covered for five years or up to 100,000 miles. That's 40,000 miles more than the 2015 Ford Mustang can offer.

In the end, there's only one way to speed along your decision-making process. Residents of the Oxford, Loganville, and Conyers area who are looking to put themselves behind the wheel should call Ginn CJDR and schedule a test drive today!
