Default My New 2012 Charger

Here is Pic of My new Charger. Its a SXT Plus with the Black top package and navigation/back up package. Black leather interior, paddle shifters, heated front and rear seats, 8.4 inch dvd/nav/back camera and sun roof. I'm really excited it only has 11 miles on it and I get it next Saturday after I return home from being overseas for 3 years. Lets hope i don't crash it from driving on the right side of the road haha.

Let me tell ya a few things about it. First and foremost .....I F*ckin LOVE THIS CAR! Everything about it is fantastic.
1. All features are easy to use
2. Back up camera is fantastic and becAuse the tail light is so awesome and bright it even works great at night time.
3. Voice activation is fantastic and easy to use.
4. Heated/cooled cup holders work great.
5. Seats are nice.
6. When u use the remote start the car can automatically turn on the heated seats and defroster.
7. It's the little things for example in the trunk the bars that hold the lid are hidden so u can use all of your trunk space with out smashing things.
8. Never having to use a key is great sep I always forget to lock it.

Now for the cons to which I only have 2
1. The black leather that comes with the black top package is so hard to keep looking nice. If you even touch it the oil on your hands will leave a mark.
2. The car gets great gas mileage on freeway when it's level in 8th great and Eco mode.... However because the car weighs so much if there is four people in the car and

You even hit a head wind it will downshift and pull it out of Eco mode and will only average 24 mpg on the freeway. City mileage I doubt is 19 probably more like 17. Those are the only things I have that's slighty bad about it. Other than that this car is perfect

Just picked my Blacktop up today... badass! They are kind of hard to find around hear, this was the only one in a 100 mile radius from me. All of the options I could want, none of the extra stuff to drive the price up (like heated mirrors, heated cup holders, etc..). The spoiler is well worth the extra $225, it just doesn't look right without it. Just got home with it, haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces yet, but my initial impressions are that it's just what I wanted. Very smooth right, feels tight in the turns, almost pulls like a V8. The 8-speed tranny is all it's cracked up to be, it's always in the perfect gear for whatever acceleration you need. The shifter takes a bit of getting used to, though.

One thing that didn't seem to make the cut from the initial press release was the smoked taillight. Check out the attached picture. Man, I wish the taillight looked like that. I think I'm gonna go to work with some dark window tinting and see if I can achieve the look.

Just pulled 32.1 mpg for nearly 500 miles to a tank from las vegas to southern Idaho!! Probably coulda done better but i was haulin ***. Goes from 60 to 120 pretty damn fast for how heavy it is. I also blacked out the windows on mine so it looks better. When all was said and done with mine I payed 30k even and mine is loaded.
