Opinions on new DD

[jrandy]

Well, the time is coming where I might be upgrading my daily. I have a 2018 Charger Scatpack optioned out with the dynamics package (6 piston brembos & 9.5" rims) for right around $40k.

However, I know there are quite a few options in that price range, so I figured I'd open it up to discussion to make sure I didn't overlook another possibility.

Requirements:

• 4 door
• performance oriented
• have aftermarket
• $40k ballpark
• 2015/6 or newer

SHO.
Stay away from Europe unless you have deep pockets or sell it once the warranty runs out immediately.


Pick your poison.

I'm partial to the Chevy SS

Clearly mpg is not a big thing for you so i say get the charger. What about a SRT 8

 

[suicidekings]

Chevy SS would get my vote.

They look too plain for me.

The price difference doesn't make sense to me IMO. The interior only seems marginally nicer and the adjustable suspension isn't needed.

Yea, I don't think I want to go European.

The SHO seems like it would be the perfect candidate for you, it fits your requirements. The TT eco boost and AWD will make it a fun car to say the least. It doesn’t take much to make them fast and they aren’t a pain to maintain.
It’s actually one of the few modern fords that I actually like.

Stick with the Charger.

Wait, its a 2018 and you already want a new car? A relevant question for you is what don't you like about your current car?

Sorry, it's worded weirdly. My friend is a finance manager at a dealer and I have a 2018 Charger specced out and ready to order.

My current DD is a 2014 Focus that I can't stand.

 

[RedVenom48]

Ah, ok that makes sense.

If you can find one in your price range I'd do this all day long. I had the opportunity to thrash a manual 4 door version and it was absolutely brilliant. Blue w/ black carbon fiber and black wheels = pure sex. It's so good I consider selling my wagon to get it every time I drive by the dealer.

If not the ATS-V then I'd go with the Chevy SS.

I just bought a 2016 Chevy SS. It checks all your boxes except the one you didn't list in the OP which is "must not look plain". They got better about that for the 16-17 models but yeah, nobody knows WTF it is, which can work both ways LOL. It hauls ass pretty good, quiets right down and soaks up the miles when you want to chill, and stops and handles better than it has a right to for anything its size.

I love everything about it except the factory stereo, which is better suited for a Nissan Versa than for a luxo/sport sedan that stickered for $50k.

Yea, I didn't even realize you could get one for around that price. I'll definitely have to check them out.

I think the scatpack with dynamics is still my front runner.

I do like that 6.4.

I didn't realize you could either. New msrp is $61k. It looks like there are a ton at that $40k mark with 30k miles. It's worth test driving a manual if you can find one. They're brilliant cars

Nothing says yours trying to grow up like a CTS-V Wagon on kill. Just add tickle stick... Griswald on the license plate and let that bitch ride.
