Please advise new Chally owners

[BB73Challenger]

Hi all,

Obviously, with the new Challenger EVERYONE wants one.
With a bare bones MSRP of 21,000+, that makes it even cheaper than my Jeep!

My question to current owners is, I have 2 kids, my oldest son is 10.
Right now with my Wrangler, it's a pain with getting in and out of the back. I'm due to turn in my Jeep in a couple of months and itching like crazy for the new Chally, but I don't want to make a move and can't fit them in.
Mind you, they have enough room in my old car, and also I won't be taking any 5 hour drives with the back seat loaded.

So in short.....

Will 2 kids exist in the back of the new Challenger or should I go back to the Charger?

Any input is greatly appreciated !!

If you are tall, and like or need the seat back, there is no room for a rear passenger. I saw this last sat at a show. The driver was about 5'10 and there was around 3" of floor space for passengers legs

lol I guess there goes that idea...

I'm 6'2"

You actually need to go se one for yourself, but it will be a pita from what I have seen

Kind of sounds like it, and that was what I was afraid of.
The killer is when I was at Carlisle, I saw a few of them but never examined the back seat spacing.

Thanks Moparal 

This still gives me a reason to try and find a dealer with one on the floor

I doubt it...    tight back there. Two kids...No way. Get a Charger...Or should I say Coronett.   Although if it was me I'd make 'em cram in there anyways.

Screw'em. It aint you in the back seat!

Leasing is no longer an option.

Hmmm, big kid in the trunk and the other.....no, no, no, the wife will never have it.

But where will his mother-in-law go?   

In all honest, take the kids with you to the dealership.  They will probably like the car so much that they'll find a way to fit in back.  Ask the dealer if you can take it for a spin for a couple of hours to see if the kids can get used to it! 

A long time ago we had an '80 and '81 Trans Ams, tight in back, but we made it work!

As a fellow board member with two kids, I think you need to join me in the Charger world.  If you want to scratch the old-school Mopar itch, I bet you can get a good deal on a B-5 blue Super Bee right now.  There are still some '07 plum crazy purple SRT Chargers on dealer lots too, as well as '08 hemi orange Charger Daytonas.

  I don't know if they still have them (probably do), swift dodge in Sacramento had 2 plum crazy SRT 8 Charges a month ago and were marked down to 32k because they are 2007 models and the company needs to get rid of them. The salesman I talked to said that at this point if you just made them an offer they would most likely accept it.
