I made a great deal at dealership where I purchased vehicle Killeen Texas. The dealership where I transferred it to also great support. The only negative to car is blind spot. Use mirrors for help with this. I am female and the ride and comfort space in cabin is perfect. Easy to drive, great turning radius. I love the power to step on it when appropriate. I get compliments on color and look of vehicle from men and women. Looks like the muscle cars from 70s. Zoom zoom very happy still with my 2012 challenger RT. K update: 2012 still the best muscle car for me!

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.

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

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.
