EDIT - CHALLENGER owners - rear seat question

[Jimmy N.]

Really no comparison between the leg room in a Challenger vs Charger.

Seriously? A taxi is better suited for rear seat passengers than a muscle car is?

Seriously. 😂

I actually like those oem wheels. They’re probably some of my favs. My kids have gotten in and out of mine fine for 5 years and they haven’t complained once😂

what breed are they..

Oh they can complain lol, just not about riding in the Hellcat. Also not a dd so they might ride in it once a month or so.

Really no comparison between the leg room in a Challenger vs Charger. I’ve had both and in the Charger you can actually get in/out easily and have plenty of leg room. I don’t usually have a need for rear passengers so the Challenger does just fine👍

Is it the whole family you have a problem with..

The back seat is actually quite roomy & comfortable - if you have the agility to get in & out of there. If there are tall ppl in the front & they push the seats back, leg room becomes an issue. Getting in & out is a PITA and unless you plan to load young, agile types back there you're screwed (or rather, they are screwed).
Forget about putting any sort of kid seat back there unless you are an Olympic gymnast or professional contortionist !

That's pretty much what I was thinking. They're big enough now to not need any of those seats anymore (the charger was a trooper in that regard)

Yes, troopers often use Chargers.

Ummm, have you seen one? They're like unicorns! I've never seen one in the wild


Seriously though my wife is only 2" taller than it being a disability I love me some short people even though I'm 6' or at least used to be. Think I'm down to 5'11" now
Wife and I used to get some funny looks when in public but I didn't/don't give a shit, she use to but not anymore.

lol, my wife likes to say she's 5' 2" and she's actually 5' 4" (both from when I measure her and the booking photos). And that spine compression I completely understand. It sucks.

Not much of a fan of chrome wheels...but Gat's ride is the bomb

He and I have talked lots of chrome (I was a chrome wheel guy back in the day - most recently on that SC GTO - set of staggered Bayerns) Not sure I'd put chrome on, but I'd defintely have to have wider in the back than stock.

I mount the red and blues in the grill.


But speaking of law enforcement, I just get so tired of these arrested puffed up meth heads and wannabes threatening to "kill" the cops or other ridiculous shit. Makes me want to start an arraignment bingo card with stupid ass phrases spouted by arrestees. (I can do this because I was arrested 3 times in the US, and "detained" by foreign military once). I didn't shoot my mouth off.

My daughter is 16, son is 9. I haul kids in mine all the time, best to get in on passenger side as seat breaks down and slides manually and actually moves pretty easily. I would say for kids and up to teens until they get pretty big, back seat is plenty fine and there's a good amount of room back there once they are in. I haul 2-3 kids my son's age all the time though like I said, they really like ripping around in the redeye

Hey, with the limited legroom it deters anyone from wanting to get in the back😂. That way family doesn’t become a problem 😏

Here's pictures with the driver's seat all the way back. Access with the Charger is 1000% better.

If your going to daily it with kids it not ideal. Get a Durango or a Ram. My kids do great in the back of the challenger. There is enough room for them.

Of course they do...when you consider all they have room to do is inhale...exhale...repeat if necessary

Yes! Out here in AZ, AZ DPS have at least a blue and a maroon unmarked that I have seen with paying roadside customers. Last week on way to work, I saw something that looked "unnatural", a front fender, hiding in the bushes at a known spot on 101 freeway, and was just accelerating up to (my) freeway speed, but there was a faster-moving vehicle coming from behind me, so I let him go first and that maroon Charger leaped out from the bushes and picked him off like a sitting duck - the color of the Charger was stunning!

Found an Octane Red 2020 Challenger (always liked this color, but like the Charger better as a body style). Do occasionally take the kids and wife - those rear seats usable? Ingress and egress difficult? Comfortable for long distance travel or just around town?

To answer OP, I am pretty tall and must have the seat all the way back, plus titled back also when I drive, which renders passenger leg room useless. It might be ok for a rear adult passenger if they aren't too tall and driver is short or a younger smaller person, and/or the passenger front is all the way forward. I have only had an adult passenger in my Challenger back seat one time, and he had to span across the seat to even fit, as I also had a front passenger that trip. Same holds true for the Charger - no legroom whatsoever when the front seats are are all the way back and tilted too.
