I am in love with this car!

2012 Dodge Challenger R/T 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
R/T Plus package with Redline - you have to see it up close - the paint is gorgeous. Tons of power from the V8, most comfortable seats I've ever had, plenty of features, and gorgeous to boot. I get tons of comments and stares - maybe because there are only a few out here; I see the Jaguar XK more frequently than these. Haven't had it long enough to really tell about reliability, but I … have my fingers crossed.
May not be quite as sporty or fast as the Mustang or Camaro, but look at it! Those are as common as dirt. And not nearly as comfortable. If you think you want the V6, try the R/T and see if it changes your mind.
2012 Dodge Challenger RT Classic - Best yet!
hometheaterguy, Palm Harbor, FL, 05/28/2013
2012 Dodge Challenger R/T 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
To date, I have owned twelve vehicles.
My first, a 1964 Mercury Comet to my current 2012 Dodge Challenger RT Classic.
The worst car I have owned is a 2009 Mazda 5 Wagon.
The 2012 Dodge Challenger is by far the best vehicle we have ever purchased.
This vehicle has the Super Trak Pack, 6-speed, sunroof, amazing leather and a rocking sound system that can play movies, blu tooth audio and … read music from a thumb drive.
Modifications made thus far; Magnaflow X pipe, Pettys Garage Strut tower brace, LMI cold air intake and skip shift eliminator.
Do want a car that handles corners with ease, has amazing acceleration and looks great?
If so, this is the car for you.
We love it!
Challengers Get Old Fast
RAM, Jersey City, NJ, 03/08/2019
2012 Dodge Challenger R/T 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
Dodge has a problem with Hemi Engines. After 100,000 they self-destruct. Had the Engine rebuilt for $5,000. New lifters, cam... Never ran the same. I was told by the service manager they rebuild 2 to 3 Hemi's each week. Challengers, Chargers, Trucks and Jeeps. Looked around the internet and many people have this problem. Dodge should do something, they know there is a problem. … This is a great car before 100,000 miles.
