Optional equipment on our tester included the Preferred Package 27G ($2,890) which consists in part of a rear 60/40 split folding seat, trunk cargo net, folding rear seat armrest, power 8-way driver seat, fog lamps, leather wrapped steering wheel, two more audio speakers (six in total, up from four in the base SE) and a more powerful amplifier. Other options included leather trimmed seating ($1,580), cigarette lighter and ashtray ($50), 5-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick ($330) -- a 4-speed automatic without the manumatic feature is standard on the SE; 3.5-litre engine ($670), power sunroof ($1,050) and 18-inch aluminum polished wheels and tires, bringing the total price to $36,495. The fully transferable, 5year/100,000 km, zerodeductible powertrain warranty includes 24-hour roadside assistance. This is a large car with ample leg- hip, shoulder- and headroom inside for five adults. The Mercedes-Benz influence (from the Daimler side of the DaimlerChrysler family) has taken hold among Chrysler and Dodge products and their build quality is light years ahead of where it was even five years ago, with a stiff body that resists bending and flexing. Body panel gaps are uniform throughout and there has been obvious attention spent on interior details. The view from the driver's seat is good in all directions but to the immediate rear where a high kick-up at the tail makes backing up in tight quarters an exercise in guesswork. The brake pedal sits high in the driver's footwell and requires a conscious lift of the right foot when coming off throttle, and firm pressure from the leg muscle to apply the brakes in aggressive stopping manoeuvres. The driver views a sleek instrument panel with electroluminescent, Viper-inspired circular gauges with white faces highlighted by silver accent rings. Steering effort through the near bus-sized wheel is light and direct, though some vagueness could be detected on-centre. The four big doors swing out wide to allow easy entry and exit to all passenger seating areas. A near 50/50 front/rear weight distribution provides a balanced ride, though in the SXT application there was more body roll in tight corners than the suspension firmness might have suggested. There are no plans at this time to introduce all-wheel-drive to the Charger lineup, as has been done with the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum wagon. The 3.5-litre V6 provides decent torque in the lower ranges to move the SXT off the line smoothly and quickly, producing an appropriate growl from the single exhaust pipe as revs rise. The 5-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly up and down the scale, in both automatic and AutoStick modes. All of which goes a long way to making the Charger SXT a car that will appeal to many Canadian buyers, being stylish yet sensible without compromising overall performance or creature comforts for parsimonious economy M IS AV RD .
