I'm still glad i bought it. it's actually only been ~10 months. As i was driving the other day my girlfriend looked over at me and said do you still like this car? (turns out a couple of her co-workers had gotten new cars and hate them due to the payments) i kinda thought about it for a few moments and was like HELL YES. i didn't put a significant down payment on my car and i paid probably paid too much for it. so my payments are high (little over 500/mo). she was asking if i regretted the quick decision of picking up this car. i can honestly say i really dont even care. i absolutely love the car. i drive it ~500 miles per week (80% highway) to work and i seriously couldn't ask for a better car. originally i was looking at a used BMW since i was tired of the really old and crappy Dodge Stealth R/T i had. but after finding out the BMW didn't have a REAL manual transmission i test drove this and fell in love. so moral of the story. I'm glad i bought the challenger i wouldn't trade it for anything.:grin2:
I first bought the SXT and I loved the car, just regretted getting the V6, then bought the RT in April last year and have loved it every since, I lost money on the trade in, but the car is still well worth it!!
I still like my 2009 that I drove home in November, 2008. A lot. Sure I like my 2015 too, but I'm not driving it just now with all the snow around. And there are many things I like better about the 2009. I never tire of driving it.
Can't imagine having two Challengers, I bet the 2008 has more sentimental value than the 15 though. I've thought of trading up myself, but me and the ol girl have been through too much together, you might as well ask me to trade in a child.
I enjoy the crap out of my PCP RT as well. I am having a hard time deciding if its feasible to try get a SRT. I really like the options on the newer ones and huge brakes.
............................I'm happier now than the day that I bought it
4 years, 41k miles, and it's like a pair of old jeans and boots, just feels "right". I wouldn't trade it in on any other Challenger, any year or any model.

Yes.... Its been nearly a year and a half and i Love love love the car. So much fun and it opened the way to new friends. I am constantly taking pictures of it and this one is my current favorite. If it was totaled I would but another in a heartbeat after shedding a few tears
I brought mine home in July 2013, I remember getting up out of my office chair at work and walking out the door of the place and driving straight to the dealership. Never told anybody I was leaving just got up and left. Drove back to work the next day in my brand new 2013 SRT BW Core 6M. Yea, I paid too much and I was not patient enough and all that stuff. I have really enjoyed the car. How could a person go so long as I did driving around with so little hp (220). Now I have the itch for more power than the 470-480 the Challenger gives me. I think it's a power hungry craving.
I love mine. The payments will go away soon. I plan on keeping mine till I'm too old to drive. Then I might give it to my son or grandson if I think my grandson will be responsible enough. He's really a great kid.
I've had mine over a year now and still love it. I still get a charge driving it every single day, and it's even more satisfying since I added the exhaust (sound) and tune (driveability & throttle response). It's more fun even than I thought it would be.
It's only been 4 months for me, but the "ear-to-ear" grin and 12-year old giggles Renny elicited out of me when I first drove her are as strong as ever. She still has her "new car smell"; the sense of smell is the most evocative of the five senses, and only serves to magnify the thrills I felt that day.
I hope I'm as fortunate as you guys who've had your Challengers for several years; I see no reason why I won't be. The only factor I didn't take into account leading up to my placing the order, was how much I was going to spend on Renny after getting her. Between detailing equipment and supplies, and aesthetic modifications, I'm like a person living in Las Vegas with a gambling problem...I just can't stop!!!
Not to continue here, but just saying I love my car. Always ear to ear grin when I drive it. I actually haven't driven it for the past week since the windshield cracked because of a rock chip that I didn't notice (windshield getting replaced tomorrow). I have been driving my Chevy truck and while i enjoy it its not he Challenger, so had to pull it out of the garage last night and take her out for a drive!! All the reasons why I bought a Challenger in the first place came back immediately and had a great drive. Never ever regret buying this car and if I can avoid it will never sell the car!!
I do however feel sad for the people that have bad cars and have been put in a situation where they fell they had to give up on the car and move on to a different brand. I am so sorry for them as I know if they had gotten a problem free Challenger they would love it as much as the rest of us!!
I hate to admit this, but it had been almost 3 months since the last wash. I installed shortly headers this past weekend and took advantage of a nice day to clean her inside and out. As I was finishing, I was thinking how she looks as good as the day I drove her home in August of '12, more fun to drive now, however. Aside from a few minor issues, like the Uconnect not cooperating at times, I enjoy it more today than day one.
I love my car. I've owned 2 of them. The black one in my sig was cool but I really disliked the automatic so when I was able to get an absolute base model with the stick, I jumped on it. To me that's what a muscle car is. Cloth seats, big trunk, throaty v8, and dominating presence.
This 2015 Sublime R/T is my 4th R/T. I still love them. They have all been different, I wish I could take all the little things I liked about each of them and combine it into one. The 15 comes the closest, along with a entire list of things I like more.

Wow I was just about to post something similar, except that my last fill up was $29 dollars and that was with premium gas. Regular gas around here is running as low as 1.59 but averaging about $1.65. mid grade is about 1.69 and premium about 1.75-1.79.
I've had a Challenger in the stable since late 2010. My first was a 2009 RT. Traded that beauty off for a 2011 SRT early 2013. Whats not to like about these cars. The "Mean Green Machine" will stay in my stable even if I upgrade and get a HC...... :5:
I love my challenger, but with the crappy winter weather I sometimes wish I had gotten a Charger R/T AWD... Yes I drive mine Year Round, through thick and thin, rain, snow, sleet, and the winter is the only time things get hairy, even with my dedicate set of winter blizzak tires (hence the small regret in not having AWD and winter tires). I do have my BMW for the really bad days. Maybe when I'm rich I'll be a heretic and swap in a Custom AWD system into the Challenger along with a S/C
