Fun DD car to drive?

[Bionik_P]

Well I'm selling my Cobra soon. I love the car to death, but I'm just not using it like it should be used....it's become mainly a weekend car and occassionally makes it to the track, but it's so much fun that I wish I could use it everyday. I know many people would say that a Cobra is a DD, but not my Mystic vert. Anyways....I'm looking at a car/truck/suv that would be fun to drive. That really means two different approaches to this....either a vehicle that is fun to get a little dirty like a Jeep Rubicon or something that has a little balls to it like a TBSS or GC SRT8. Here's what I'm looking at in no particular order:

Jeep Rubicon
Volvo S40/S60
TBSS
GC SRT-8


I'm looking for suggestions from just about anyone......:read:

If you're thinking about a Volvo, look for an S60/V70 R. 300 HP turbo I-5, AWD, 6-speed, sweet interior.......:-D

TBSS just because I drive an SUV, gas mileage sucks though.

keep the cobra and buy some old beater...

 

[Bionik_P]

I bought an old beater, but it keeps costing too much money and breaking on me! And I hate to only drive the Cobra on nice days....this thing should be enjoyed everyday, but I just can't do that.

Yeah I would definitely look at the R models for the Volvos...

I need something a little bigger than the Focus....but definitely a fun car to drive!

I'm even looking at the Audi S4 (04-06 models).

They run mid-13's IIRC, not bad for a family sedan IMO.

GC SRT8. The TBSS is not even in the same league as the SRT8 once you factor in handling, luxury, and braking. Buy the Jeep and have a ball. It is really comfy, handles great, stops great, and most importantly, goes like hell.

Was that a turbo legacy gt or non turbo gt. It didn't sound like a turbo one.

one of my old friends had one. it was the legacy gt and he said it was turbo. I rode in it and you couldnt only barely hear the turbo.

I'd lean that way if it came down to those two.....
