Had a 2013 Mustang 5.0 GT California Special. White with black trim and decals. Awesome LOOKING car!!!! Great engine! Everything else was a [non-permissible content removed]!! Leather seats ripping with gentle use under 40000. Cheap, toyish quality interior and VERY uncomfortable seats !!!! Paint chipping by LOOKING at it!!! 2012 Challenger quality is twice as good, comfortable high quality seats, equally excellent engine, roomy, handles well, little road noise and good ride (not stiff like the Pony)!! LOVE my midnight Blue Challenger and; as great as it looked, don't miss the Mustang !!!! Still LOVE this vehicle!! Will always own a Challenger!

2012 Challenger Rallye Redline is a great car

First of all, this car looks great. In addition to the retro Challenger form factor, the Rallye Redline gets center red stripes, "black chrome" 20 inch wheels with red inserts, and in my car, a "radar red" leather interior. Set off against the pitch black paint, this combination is a stunner, and I get compliments wherever I go, usually "nice car," thumbs up or fist pumps. The rallye redline also adds hood scoops, fog lamps, rear spoiler and dual chrome exhausts. Performance wise, the car has 300 hp and is never found lacking in any real driving situation. It's quick, but it's not a car for racing. The handling is better than most people say, the lighter V6 engine gives the car a better balance. Comfort is superb, especially the front seats, the best I've ever had; the back seats are comfortable compared to those in the Mustang /Camaro. The ride is super smooth, this car was built on a Daimler chassis. The controls are logical, user friendly and have appropriate retro styling.. Uconnect system (bluetooth, navigation) is excellent, Sound system (Alpine) is very good. Trunk is huge. I have had this car for six years it has 40 k miles and have done nothing but change the oil and the tires. One minor cruise control repair was covered under the warranty. I do not drive it in the winter, which is five months of the year, as I live near Buffalo NY and a front engine rear wheel drive car would not do well in the snow. Negatives? Rear visibility is poor and access to the back seat can be tricky.

Bought new 2012 Challenger

I love this car. I bought the SXT 2012 model with the sport option this past November. Pros: I feel the engine V6 size is ideal: I save a bit on gas mileage compared to the V8, and car insurance is cheaper. I knew someone who had a 2009 Charger and complained of poor handling in rain but my 2012 Challenger has handled very well in the rain. I like the interior and exterior design of the car. It turns heads on the road too; everyone has a mustang, but few have a Challenger. For cons, I think its backing up turn radius is difficult in a small parking lot. But, I do not appreciate much of a blind spot as the reviews note. I would recommend this car to someone considering a muscle car.

I love this car, and after having a Charger RT 2011 I recommend the Challenger V6, since it is more fuel efficient, the 305hp is still very fun to drive, and the insurance will be much lower than the V8. The look is the same, and everyone will take pictures and give the attention as it was the RT or even the SRT.

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.
