    If you have a little wiggle room in your budget I would suggest looking at a used Chevrolet SS. It's a bad *** sedan weighing just shy of 4,000lbs with the 6.2L LS3 mated to a 6 speed! Basically the newer version of a G8 with in my opinion a far better design. Some other good options would be a used Buick Regal GS, Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru WRX or STi, Audi S4, BMW M3, Infiniti Q50, Kia Stinger or VW Passat TDI or V6 to name a few. Keep in mind some of these cars such as the Audi and BMW will need to be a few years older than the other cars to be in your price point. But a nice used Audi S4 with the V8 would be a fun car! 

    In my opinion Chargers are junk and I would steer clear of them. Everyone I have that I've met or known who had a Charger or Challenger had issues with it. Only FCA product I'd purchase is probably the Hellcat or Demon. 

    I wouldn't doubt it if the older models were faster. Subaru has really shot themselves in the foot by not updating the vehicles drivetrain in over 10 years. During that same time period the cars have gotten heavier because of new safety features and regulations. With that being said I still do love my 2005 Subaru WRX. Got it as my first car when I turned 16 back in 2005. Currently the car is sitting at my parents house with a mint 52,000 miles. 

    had zero issues with my 2012 charger srt8. great cars with lots of room and power. theres no 4 door in its class that compares

    Waterless Wash - My First Time! Not impressed :(

    Don't get me wrong - I think it is a good product. Thought about trying it many times, and finally did. Let me set the scene;

     

    Car was washed 12 days beforehand. Normal 2 bucket wash, with foam spray. Detail spray on to wet paintwork & dried. Virtually no rain since then, so all I had was a good layer of dust - when I say "good layer", i'm talking more than light dust but not what I would call heavy, or as soiled as it would be in other conditions. Seemed like a good time to try WW, even it it was a tad dirtier than I would have liked. Also bear in mind I had a light machine polish done professionally about 9/10 weeks ago, after which the paintwork was flawless.

     

    I ended up using 2/3 of the bottle! as I wanted to be sure I had enough product to get the best results possible. Was a pleasant product to use and the WW towels picked up a decent amount or crap from the paint. Results looked good initially but bear in mind this was nearing sunset & I was working in the shade.

     

    Skip to this morning - nice sunny day, and I could have a good look at the results. This is where it gets disappointing. Although I can't say for sure that before my WW adventure there was ANY scratches, there now is - admittedly its minor, but in particular on the hood - it's noticeable to my eyes. I wiped up & down in straight lines and the scratches match that pattern. Roof seems ok, or should I say, not as bad as the hood. I must say that I'm no expert when it comes to paint correction/polishing/observing minor defects so a lot of this may just be bad timing and I'm looking more than I normally would. That said, I like to think I have a pretty good technique when it comes to washing/detailing. So the feeling at the moment is that I did some damage :(

     

    So...is it fair to say this product is not great for those who have a flawless finish? Or was I simply impatient and my car was simply too dirty?

     

    Must admit, I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself right now...

     

    Nothing that I light polish won't fix, but still.

    honestly,I think it's the waterless wash towels that did it.there crap. first time I used a d same issue.my paint was just polished and tried waterless wash and I had light scratches. I tried using double softs and that worked way better or try using and ultra plush.
