Thank you for showing the details of the 300a trim. Almost all other youtubers did either GT premium or darkhorse trim with load of options.

I have a 2018 GT Premium w/Performance Pack 1, 6 speed & Active Valve Exhaust. 60,000 miles. If you’re not doing “race car driving” the fuel mileage is much better than expected. In very stop & go conditions I typically get 16 to 18 MPG. Just returned from 3,700 mile road trip through New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming - avoided interstates as much as possible. Drove on mountain roads, small towns and secondary highways - cruising speeds typically 75 to 80. Occasionally hit 100+/- in passing situations. Overall milage 28+ MPG. Near perfect 2 person road trip car.🤠

I have and loved it! kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2Fok7WcesnFhs4.html The Challenger can definitely hold its own against the Mustang depending on which trim level of the car you're looking at. You'd have to look at the Scat Pack 392 to get the 6.4L V8 in order to have similar power as the Mustang GT though. The Challenger has a classic muscle look inside and out vs the Mustang with a way more modern interior in the 2024 model. Drive them both back to back and see which one you like more. They're priced pretty similarly depending on the build you look at buying too! And don't forget that it's looking like the Challenger is in its final production year as an ICE car

If it is just you and it is a weekend car 300a is enough. If you are going to actually use it get the 301a. Heated power seats better sound and this has saved more fights dual control heating.
