Trade my LiL WRX for HO Charger?

Wondering if I should trade in my 04 WRX (sedan) for a new 06 v-6 HO Dodge Charger? I can use the xtra room since my 2 kids are getting big. minus side is I loose AWD from the scooby. What you guys think or ?

Thanks

why V6 charger? the V8 isn't too much more and is much more powerful and gets similiar gas mileage.

I just dont really need that kind of power to use as daily driver. From the feedback HEMI MPG is not as good as advertised

I wouldn't think that would be a horrible trade off.

I averaged around 18-20MPG in a Charger R/T in the city and that was with a lead foot. I rented one at Hertz for $38/day (with AAA discount), most fun rental car I've had so far and that thing hauled ass for such a heavy car.

If you can't swing a SRT-8 price then look into either a Daytona or R/T model both have hemis. the difference between the V-6 and V-8 is HUGE.

Your in lakeway... you know rain is bad. AWD rocks when that altima is sitting next to me in a rainstorm as it takes off the front tires spin and mine takes of and feel no slippage. But AWD b/c I do take trips to colorado to go skiing. I figure charger b/c of its size. My TL is small. highmiles and prob sell it soon.

i don't know the price range you are looking at how about a late model used RL. it has AWD plus with 290 hp it will get you going. plus navigation system and all the goodies.
