2012 Dodge Challenger SXT 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

I LOVE my 2012 Rallye Redline. She's a show stopper and a pleasure to drive. Since I cruise in her and will take her cross country, it was important to me when selecting a sports car to find one that looked fabulous, drove well, and didn't rattle my teeth out with every single bump in the road. Comfort is a key component of my Challenger, along with the strong look of a muscle car (no mistaking what a Challenger is), and muscle car action. I drove a Mustang and a Camaro before choosing the Challenger. Okay, the Challenger is not as fast, but how could it be with it's size and weight? However, it sure the heck rides and looks a LOT better!!!

I simply love this car. It is the base V6 model. Redline red in color. Would I buy one again? In less than a heart beat. People from small children, to older grammas comment on how pretty of a car that it is. Everybody loves the looks of this one..so do I.

MPG is 18.5 city and 32 highway. Fantastic car with great looks, get compliments all the time. Bought a new Challenger in 2018 and just love it, currently have 24,000 miles on it and will trade it in at 60K.

I came from a 2004 BMW 325i to this 2012 Challenger SXT. I had in mind The Focus, 2013 Ultima, or Buick Verano. Roads are saturated with Mustands and Camaros. Some pulled behind me on my BMW and looked through the rear view mirror and saw the Challenger's headlight it's grill, it looked intimidating, aggressive and from there I felt in love and wanting one. It gives me good gas millage better then the BMW. Works great for daily driving (I was told that the comfort concept was of the 300C). Nice trunk size. In the cabin a lot organizing compartments. I have it all blackout. It looks bad ass. ast. If I was wealthy I would buy two. One for collection and the other one for everyday

Best Retro Muscle Car Hands Down

2012 Dodge Challenger R/T 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

As far as 'bang for the buck' it is tough to find a better value than the 5.7 Hemi R/T with 6 speed manual. I think the 5.7 allows you to actually enjoy the car on public roads without feeling like you are running up miles on a potential classic (if you had the 392 or higher models). I did the Mopar cold air intake and the resonator delete and probably picked up 15 hp. So, yes the car is heavy but it makes for great highway stability and comfort. It is spacious inside - so you don't feel so claustrophobic as with some other cars. I got the silver with the black diagonal R/T stripes on the front fender/hood and added some Ace Alloy after market wheels with a staggered tire set up (slightly wider in the rear). It really turns head and sounds great. I had a 1972 Challenger which was awesome, but this one is years ahead in user friendliness and faster.
