"Eye catching design and good performance for a V6. So far after 1100 miles in the first month, I am averaging over 28 MPG which came as a surprise of mostly suburban driving. The amount of hard plastics in the interior is a bit of a disappointment. No Bluetooth? What is that? My wife's Hyundai Elantra came with that and more. I bought it as a cruiser and that is what it does best. Too big to handle like the Mustangs, but then again the interior is much larger so you do have your trade-offs. You can actually fit people in the back seat. I did not need the Hemi, although my son was after me on that one as he just bought and Mustang Boss 302. 305 HP moves this car along just fine as long as you don't drag race anyone."

"I purchased my Dodge Challenger about 3 weeks and have loved every minute of driving. From eye catching good looks to modern conveniences of u connect and blue tooth. Ease of steering wheel controls and voice command help you keep your hands on the wheel. Sport mode is a real trip as you feel the power under your foot unleashed and pushing you into the cushioned comfortable seats. My kiddos love the DVD player and the spacious back seat. Very rare for a sports car and the trunk space is awesome. Great family sports car."

AS BAD AS THE ORIGINAL-BUT BETTER WITH CREATURE CO

"I will get to the points that describe the 2013 Challenger that I recently bought. First, it is as close as any muscle car manufacturer has came to looking like the original that it was named after. I have found that the ride couldn't get much better, and since I chose a manual shift... they got it right. It's close shift pattern and response with the clutch couldn't get any better.(hill assist isn't needed). I personally wouldn't want a smaller version of it, then it would be like the mustang that is small and should be at least the size of say a 70' era. It has plenty of get up and go and looking over that dash and beyond the hood gives the feeling that you can't get with many others that are within an affordable range. Yes, the more you get with the option packages, the price goes up, but even a base model would be a pleaser. It's interior is comfortable, but I think they could have provided more in the way of lighting up the instrument cluster and even a glove box light, etc. to keep up with the rest of the beast. They provide a low lit cup holder light which is a nice touch but that;s really about it. Overall the pros outweigh the cons and I seriously think years to come they will appreciate in value just like the ones they were born from."

"Had the SXT for 4 weeks so far it has been awesome. Ride is very smooth and handles well for big car has good power and so far averaging 23.5 miles a gallon which is better than I thought I would get. Don't see a lot of them on the road like mustangs and camaro so I think Challenger stands out."

"I love this car! Every time I walk into my garage I can't believe how gorgeous it is. It is my fun weekend car and it's definitely a keeper. I wish it was a little smaller and I thought it was a bit pricey. I had to buy the RT to get the manual transmission. The graphite gray color really sparkles."

"I'm 55 and I've owned a lot of cars in my life and my 2013 Dodge Challenger RT is by far the best car I've ever owned...changed my exhaust system, added a clod air intake system and good God i now have a beast with rabies, I may not look 18 anymore but i sure as heck fell 18 when I'm behind the wheel."

"I've only had the car two weeks so my assessment of reliability has little value. As to the rest though, I love eveything about the car. Bought it through a broker without ever having driven one but i am not disappointed. The styling I was familiar with and loved. The color - billet silver - could not be fully appreciated until seen in person but it is beautiful. The ride, performance, fit and finish are all excellent. I love the car."
