TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Dodge Charger
| 2011 Dodge Charger Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2012 | The V6 Charger also feels right because it sits right. Sitting moderately high in the big comfortable seat gazing over an expansive hood, you might start to wonder why traditional American cars don't rule the road the way they once did. Visibility isn't the best, but the 2011 redesign did enlarge the windows, alleviating the bunker-like ambiance of the 2005-2010 sedans. see full Dodge Charger review | |
