In Omaha for a week. Was offered a Challenger and said "Sure, why not." Got in and it only had 4 miles on it! Yes, 4 real miles, not the tripometer, the actual odometer.
Wanted to share my opinion about this car. To be blunt, less than impressed. So, this is a base base base model. it doesn't even have radio controls on the steering wheel but has a spot for them.
That being said, first impression when I got in was, for a car that looks low and wide, its pretty damned small on the inside. The front seats don't go back far enough. I'm only 6' 1" and the only way for me to be comfortable is to lean the seat back. Which doesn't help the next thing, terrible visibility. I constantly feel like I can't see everything I should. DON'T be the first car at an intersection because you won't be able to see the damn lights without leaning forward and looking up.
Seats have very little padding and no bolster support. The dashboard in the middle is wider than most bars I've been too. You could easily server a few large pizzas on there.
Now, for performance, its the basic V6 so nothing much to note here. Sport mode just raises shift points. Its been snowing and icing here so haven't really got to push it much as of yet.
The ride, is harsh considering its not the high performance version. Especially with the crappy seats. The other thing is this thing likes to drift (not the fun kind) when trying to just hold a straight in a lane, if you don't make corrections, you will end up in the next lane. Could be the new tires grabbing road imperfections but damn, whatever you do, don't look at the speedo because you will look up and find yourself side swiping someone.
I would NOT spend $26k on this car, not a chance.
So, that's my opinion so far. I'll update if there is anything worth mentioning.
