SRT8 comfortable muscle car

Bought new in Jan of '13 out of state. Have loved it in every way since then, though I wish it had the gps. Equiped with upgraded stereo/HD/speakers, 6 Spd manual etc but no sunroof. Drives incredibly well...comfortable after 11hr intrastate trips and have gotten as high as 28mpg really trying to feather the throttle. Love the torque and power as well as the manual control of the gears. Only one repair was necessary, 1 shock absorber went bad...and boy are they proud of them $$$, but I was able to convince SRT division to help with the cost ( it was out of warranty period time wise but only had 19,xxx miles). Has been flawless ever since, currently only has 35k as its a 5th in the fleet. Wish it had the later offered rear camera though. Nothing has broke and no rattles have emerged as some have criticized.

I traded a 2012 Ford Fusion for this car and I am extremely pleased with my decision. The MSRP was a little over 30K and I was able to purchase for 27K which is very reasonable for the features the Challenger has. I currently have 4000 miles on the car and have enjoyed every mile! It is black with chrome 20's which make it look great! The car is very comfortable as long as you are in the front. I normally drive on a 150 mile round trip and average around 30 mpg. I drive up many hills and there is always power to spare. The car handles great around curves. I have Sirius radio and really enjoy that. This is a Great college car! I have to hide keys from my mom.

Being in the car business for 30 yrs and having driven all types and makes of cars in that time this is by far the best! Wished they would make a convertible tho :)

Great car! I hate hate hate the shifters on the steering wheel! Accidently hit it numerous times each time I drive the car! The car has an annoying clicking sound from what sounds like a vent issue. A brake issue after taking care to three shops and hundreds of dollars later. Good car still but Dodge could have thought it through on some things about the car.
