2008 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Enough roon for a big guy like me to be totally comfortable. No having to hold my legs in an odd position, like one of my past cars, or put my left arm in an uncomfortable spot to be able to relax it. Having big feet makes many cars torture devices. see full Dodge Charger review |

VERY roomy. I am a big guy (just over 6 feet and 300lbs) and I am very comfortable in this car. It has almost as much room up front as my 1966 Impala! see full Dodge Charger review |
