    Purchased a 2021 Challenger SXT in August. I had to get the AWD of course since we have some nasty winters here. Looking forward to reading everyone's experiences with the Challenger. IMG-0942.jpg

    Welcome from Minnesota. I have a rear wheel drive and don’t drive mine in the winter because it’s terrible in snow. I live near Fargo where they sell a lot of AWD Challengers. My wife drives an AWD Charger and absolutely loves it.

    Good choice and beautiful ride. Hey, you could always get a 'summer' Challenger and have both in your garage. :happy107:

    Welcome, nice Challenger. The AWD wasn't available when I bought, so I did the RT 5.7 and got winter tires and wheels. So far so good. You shouldn't have any trouble getting around. Good luck with your new purchase!

    There were only 3-4 days I didn't drive my SRT to work here in Oregon.
    If they would have made an AWD SRT (Like the Jeep SRT) I would have bought it.
    As long as they would have given me a Manual Trans :driver:

    I was hoping they'd come out with a AWD RT Plus, the 5.7 would be enough for me as a daily driver. I haven't had trouble getting around in the winter with mine otherwise I would have swapped it out for a AWD GT with the Pentastar.

    Welcome from South Dakota, I was stationed at Pease AFB in New Hampshire for 5 years, I love that area, Vermont and New Hampshire are really beautiful, great sea food and who can complain about “live free or die”.

    Welcome to the forum. You will have a lot of fun here and learn many things about your Challenger.

    To get a real feel for the genesis of the 2006 concept car and the 2008 production car, it is highly recommended that you view these fascinating designer interviews.
