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?

Go drive one. You need to find out if it's right for you.

Are you kidding? Hundreds of criminals have enjoyed those rear Charger seats on the way to the police station. And many thousands of taxi customers have used those seats...without suffering any real physical damage.

I am a Challenger fan..but really regret not taking advantage of deep discounts..and power dollars for a WB/RE Charger..certainly more versatile

Not really a fan of the Challenger myself (nothing wrong with it, just doesn't do it for me). but this one, because of the color probably I could live with, I think.

I dont think its that bad getting smaller kids in and out. Might be more of a PITA for teenagers etc. There isnt a lot of foot room back there. Then again I used my 04 GTO to cart my son around from just born to 12 until I sold it, (the car) so maybe Im not the person to ask.

The back seat isn't bad if the ones in the front seats are not that tall. The feet room is what's lacking if the front seats are all the way back. Smaller kids should be fine.

Octane Red was what I originally was after, before settling on the black because could only find one in OR that had been shown at 5 car shows. lol, the guy at the dealership said, "I'm not even trying to have that one brought in. Knowing you, and that probably 1000 people sat in it, you wouldn't want it." He was right.

My concern with them is, not being flat black, it would be difficult to find a set of aftermarkets in 20 x 11 or 20 x 12 that would match sufficiently. Liked that set up on my charger, would do again. I like that OEM color too, but I can't remember the name; I just haven't seen it much in the aftermarket.

Going to see what happens. Lots of irons in the fire right now and the GC on a big job I had lined up for my construction business F-ed up a nice sized project at the VA. Nothing to do with us, and the GC fired the guy who made the error at their end, but doesn't plug that planned job in my scheduling. Or budget.

Love my Challenger and I was torn between the Octane and Frostbite! I went Frostbite because I have a Deep Cherry Ram and a Mystic red Harley so went Frostbite for the Challenger. If I would ever get a second one it would be Octane for sure!
As far as backseat? You won't be makin any more kids back there and unless your five, a circus freak or a midget you ain't gettin in and out!

Challenger = no back seat. Might as well put a delete kit in it.
