Re: Guys, what does your Wife drive??



My wife's ride. 2008 Nissan Armada. Just got some new shoe's put on recently. She's pretty happy.

I've learned one thing, if I've learned anything... as long as the Mrs. has a nice car, she won't mind me spending some money on mine.

I drive the blue Jetta. It's not much, but it has a turbo (...diesel).

Very nice project, that's gonna feel like a whole different truck with a 5.3 in it. I have a 99 ext cab with a 5.3 and that thing hauls some serious butt, tows pretty good too

Re: Guys, what does your Wife drive??

My wife was suppose to drive the V8 Volvo (1980) she decided it wasn't safe enough and I wasn't finished with it. LOL. Just recently we upgraded from a 99 Avalon to a 2009 Avalon. The 2009 has all the safety features she wanted.
Plus its really nice, gets great gas mileage and all the road tests show it runs the 1/4 in 14.9.

Just knowing the power is there is what we both wanted in a family sporty car. Gas mileage isn't good around town, but it'll do OK out on the highway. We've been from south Arkansas to Knoxville, Tennessee in it AND also made a trip to Destin, Florida in it. It rides and drives very good. It also has a nice sound system in it too. Dodge makes a good car. We've had no issues at all with it. I mean NONE at all other than new tires and brakes. It just rolled over 100K and we've been happy with it completely.

Now to answer your question......IF your daughter is responsible, she should be OK in one. If you think she may drive it hard and cut up in it, it will definitely perform. I've heard the 6 cylinder Chargers are quick, but not nearly as quick as the RTs. I don't know anything about the newer Chargers except that a lady I work with traded in a 2008 RT and bought a new one in 2014 and said she wished she had the '08 back.

I think as far as safety and dependability goes, the Charger is a good car. Again, we've had no issues with ours at all. Hope that helps.

GTT

Hey Malo, Still getting compliments and liking the Vette Rallys!
We ended up getting her an 08 v6 to start. Its a peppy little thing. I run to the store with it a bunch. Appreciate your thoughts way back.
