The Dodge Challenger R/T is a very attractive retro style sports coupe. Dodge did a very good job recreating the looks of the 1970 Challenger while at the same time giving it a modern look. It is very spacious when compared with it's main competitors (Camaro & Mustang). The back seat is relatively comfortable for a two door sports coupe. The motor has plenty of power although the car is heavy and big. Handling is good. My version is the most basic R/T, which I purposely ordered to keep with the muscle car philosophy of a no frills fast car, however the car is available with extras such as leather seats, navigation, push button start, etc. The pistol grip shifter is very comfortable and unique. In general there are some deficiencies in the interior quality. It seems like Dodge cut some corners particularly on the headliner trim. It is common to see some minor misalignment of the rear taillights, mine has a significant gap between the trunk area and the taillight on the right hand side and have seen several other challengers with the same issue. The car has been very reliable in the three years I have had it, but did have to replace the factory tires very early at only 32,000 miles.

The Dodge Challenger brings muscle car performance and styling to everyday driving. The Challenger harkens back to 1970, and the current generation, launched as a 2008 model, amuses and delights me. It can be used as a daily driver. Faithful to the 1970-vintage Challenger that powered its creation, the Challenger features a cool design that should stand the test of time. It is unanimously praised by on-lookers as a cool-looking car and is as faithful to the original as has been done in recent years. It not only looks cool, but has lasted a long time. It is well over 100,000 miles and still running strong.
