I love driving my SRT more each day. You need to drive it differently than driving a normal car due to the outstanding acceleration. It takes some getting used to. If you select the Jazz Blue color as I did, you will get more compliments on the color than the car. If you choose to purchase this car, I hope you have as much fun as I have had so far! It always puts a smile on my face.

I surprised myself by recently purchasing a 2016 SRT 392. I actually needed a 4x4 to have access to some of the far-off points on the local beaches for surf-fishing but nothing really did it for me... The only thing "Cherokee" in Jeep's resurrected Cherokees would be the gas mileage; they are a disgrace to the model's heritage, particularly with the complete loss of the "boxy" design. I miss my old ones... The only SUVs I actually considered were Porsche, but nearly every piece of equipment was an a la carte option, including the ones that are standard included options on most other vehicles. Plus the maintenance costs... I've been rather impressed by the Chargers that have become my go-to rental vehicles. The Challenger SE was fine but nothing overly special; then on one trip, National gave me a Challenger R/T Plus for a week. Jesus that was fun, obscenely loud and I fell in love with the engine notes. I was amazed to discover that the SRT and Hellcat were only $200 more per year to insure than my 12 year old Lexus. Between the minimal insurance cost increase, the engine notes, and plenty of moments thinking to myself "5-10 years ago, I would have whipped a 180 there/peeled out here/some other stupid action", I decided to take the leap. The Challenger SRT 392 is a ton of fun and a pleasure to drive. If driven sanely most of the time, it actually delivered better gas mileage than my Lexus. I've actually found myself driving this beast at lower speeds than usual; partly for mileage, partly not to "be that guy", and/or to draw more attention than it receives simply being on the road. But, it's hard not to give it at least one hard acceleration per trip to stretch it's legs. If there's a fault to be found with the vehicle, it's that it's TOO FAST. One can't really hit and sustain the primal engine notes because in just two gear changes, you're already traveling in the triple digits. Call me crazy, but I think the 5.7L models are louder... My hypothesis is that less power lets one draw out the acceleration longer. Maybe the exhaust is different; I haven't researched that aspect but I doubt it. OK, maybe two faults...the 2nd being the massive hood that obscures visibility while parking. It is impossible to see exactly where the curb or concrete curb blocks/bumpers. Even though I have every available option, there is no front end parking sensor to help judge the distance of the wall/vehicle parked in front of you. Visibility out the rear is a problem with the huge C-pillars...back-up cameras need to be standard. And I wish there was a way to hack the system to turn on the camera upon hitting the turn signal to assist further with lane changes (over and above the Blind Spot Detection). I also wish the dash under the windshield was a different or slightly smoother material. The last "down side" is trivial..."Challenger" is an extremely appropriate name for this model. No matter how it's driven, it's like a magnet to a lot of other drivers to want to race it... While I don't particularly engage in such activities, it is endlessly amusing; 9 out of 10 of these bozos would be specks in the rear-view in short order. I don't know if it's overconfidence or ignorance but they are always good for a smile. Anyway, I'd call this an impractically quick car jam packed with completely practical qualities, like the cabin room, large trunk, usable rear seats, and plenty of amenities. Valet mode helps to limit one's worry just to the potential for dents and scratches while in another driver's hands. I will probably be cutting a pass-through hole and "door" in the rear center armrest for fishing rods, skis, and whatnot.

This car is fast and comfortable it is decent on gas mileage. It is everything that you want and a sports car. Even the handling is better than what most people say In my opinion. The negatives are The Harman kardon sound system is ridiculous it has so much bass back you cannot properly calibrate the sound you like. Also because the base is so strong the speakers rattle and I can't stand it. Next the head rest is useless it is too far back to be used. Finally I get a rubbing noise in the rear in when I turn hard white or left I have yet to get the dealer to figure out what the Noise Is. Other than that the car is great aim I recommend the SRT model for total fun and excitement.
