Default Newbie to the Challenger world

Hey, I have been on the forums before. I used to have a 08 Dodge Ram 1500 until I totaled it. I'm thinking about buying a 2010 Challenger R/T 5.7L 6sp Mineral Gray. Same color as the truck I had. I just have a couple questions. How big is the back seat? Is there enough room to fit a car seat? I just had a son and I am stationed in the UK so I kinda want something to play with while I am over here. I am buying the car in the states then having the military ship it over here. British cars are nice BUT American Muscle is better! Thanx

I think you better off going with a Charger, 2 extra doors, and it really is the exact same car as the Challenger. the 2011 Charger looks sick. But I don't think they make a Stick shift charger.

The back seat is very roomy on the Challenger, you can fit a fullsize adult. But 2 doors are inconvinence for Kids.

The 2 doors and a newborn? Very difficult to handle when trying to get him in/out all the time. Especially if it is raining or something and need to move quickly. NOT gonna happen.

Like steak mentioned though, the charger although the pretty much the same car, it doesn't come in stick, so if that is a deal breaker, YOU'RE screwed!!! LOL!!!!

I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old. If you're fat and out of shape, forget about it. I have no problems getting my kids in and out -- although the Challenger is not my daily driver. But I do take them to daycare & school. It works.
