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.

Coolest car I have owned

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.

Beautiful Car

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.

best car i've ever owned

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.

Couldn't be happier

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.

This is the car I've been trying to buy since day1

The challenger is incredible. I didn't think they could make a "new" musclecar. I love the fact that any automatic features can be turned off if you want. Mine is an R/T with the 6speed manual and the track pack with 3:92 rear. Rear wheel drive with ESP, this car only slides when I want it to. Enough room in the back seat to fit my 3 little ones and their car seats and enough room for an adult to stand in there and buckle them in. As much trunk space as a big old dodge. Perfect exhaust note sounds good without sounding obnoxious.Had it for 6 months now. Only thing I can see to complain about is that if you open trunk too fast when raining some water will drip into trunk area closest to rear bumper. We like it so much we're thinking about buying a second one.

SRT8 Challenger

Excellent car. Plenty of performance, handles great, loaded with options, and looks like a muscle car. The only flaw I can find is the starter button is not lighted which makes it hard to locate in the dark.
