Default Back Seat

hello everyone. i was wondering how useful the back seat was in a challenger? i am looking at getting a new car and i am torn between the charger and challenger. i like the charger because of the back seat but since the challenger is based off the charger i was wondering if the back seat could seat two adult men? any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could easily fit two adult men in the back of the Challenger, especially if you're on the welcoming committee for the National Jockeys' Convention and have to haul attendees between the airport and the convention center. If, however, you're on the welcoming committee for the National Defensive Linemen convention, you might want to consider the Charger.

You will be amazed once you sit in the Challenger and look how much room is in the back.

2 Big Adult's can easiley fit with room.

It's a world of difference from the 70 Challenger were the back "seat" was just for looks....
You will be surprised how much room the new Challenger offers

I think ya"ll are painting a little rosier picture than I would... definately more so than my boys would. In order to make leg room for my two boys I do have to scoot the front seats forward a bit otherwise out up with the whining and nashing of the teeth from the back seat passengers. From what I hear it is WAY better than the competition... but I don't think these cars were ever intended as a family passenger car... oviously this is my opinion... your mileage may vary... [8D]

I guess it all relative...compared to the 70 Challenger it's almost a living room couch....compared with other sedans, it maybe more of a bench....Admittedly, I sit behind the wheel, not in the back seat....so perhaps I am not the best judge....none the less I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time (or a long trip) in the "dark tunnel" also known as the rear seat.........

Agree, if you have your front passengers move up some you can use the back seat. That way, instead of two extremely uncomfortable adults in the back you will have four mildly uncomfortable adults in your vehicle. I would use the back seat only for small adults or children. JMHO.

The back seat is ok for short trips, it's hard to get in and out. Much better than a Mustang but not as good as the Charger (or any 4 door car)

The seat is OK but the foot room is very small.
