I like how it sounds. It has lots of power. Friends will hear you coming which is awesome never have to ring the doorbell. It's super fast in case that's something your looking for.
Story
Always sets off cars which sometimes is funny. Been told my car sounds mean.
Pros
I love how easy it shifts. You can pass a slower vehicle in no time. Very good control, I never have to fight it.
Cons
Negative side is at night it's super loud and occasionally sets off other cars alarms. Lastly, the car is low so weird roads or parking can scrape the bumper.

The car is basically reliable and sound. It is getting older and it has a little over 100k miles on it. Everything is or has already broken down. In the 3 years that I have owned the car I have had to have the transmission rebuilt, replace various pumps, power steering controls, ignition switch, airbag sensors, cruise controls, dashboard electricals, emissions sensors, as well as brakes, new tires, wiper motors and things you expect to replace every so often. When I bought the car it appeared to be well cared for and in good condition, but I have had to replace everything the original owner claimed he had replaced. I paid $6k for the car and have put $6k-$7k back into it. If I were to trade the car in at this point, I would probably be lucky to get $3-$5k for it. When everything is wor... (more)
Story
A young guy & girl in a newer Charger pulled up next to me at a red light and looked over at me, he thought he was going to get the jump and cut me off. My acceleration from a full stop is still pretty good and I've been driving a long time, so I flew past him and slowed down. Every time he tried to come up alongside and pass me, I would speed up until he was forced to slow down. I had fun i... (more)
Pros
I love the style and the looks. I love how fast it is. I love the retractable sun roof. I love the large trunk. I love how easy it is to drive. It handles well.
Cons
Rust spots on the back quarter panel and bottom of the doors. Gas is very touchy. Car is not good on gas. The rate at which things need replacing and the amount of maintenance the car requires is unlike any other car I have ever owned. The windows fog up constantly in hot or cold weather, making always having the defrost on a necessity. The stock radio has always worked very poorly, the CD and tape deck has never worked. The car handles poorly in snow/ice conditions.
