'13 SRT8 stick car here and it's my daily driver with the exception of the worst weather. It is a surprisingly good all-around vehicle. Spacious, comfortable, room for the kids in back and it is plenty fast.

Highway mileage is almost identical to the 5.7 R/T and if you keep your foot out of it, 27-28MPG (US) is very achievable. 18-19 in town.

It does have a good-sized blind spot to the right rear and a backup camera would be useful, but for comfort, performance and handling it is AOK.

The 5.7 R/T Classic is IMHO one of the best overall packages and what I had originally ordered. If you go that route, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

If you're going new - it may be worth waiting for the 2015 models as they are supposed to have significant improvements.
