Thinking bout changing my 4runner. Good choice? let me know

I am thinking bout getting a 2012 dodge charger just becuz it has the 5.7 hemi v8 and I was just wondering how reliable it will be for long term usage because I wont be going crazy on the power as most ppl do. Only 6k for 90k miles so is it worth it for trading my 4runner, I have 51k miles. 2012 Dodge Charger 4dr Sdn Police RWD LEXINGTON PARK | Fitzgerald Auto Mall

Or

How about this eb 3.5l v6 ford flex?
I have had an eb mustang that I loved but a 3.5l eb in a van/suv car is like wow and again 83k miles for only 6.6k

Or

last but not least

How bout a manual 2013 volkswagen jetta sportwagon?

It actually doesn't look to bad for being a "stationwagon" and of course its higher price at 16k with 31k miles.

I know I just got the 4runner to but just a thought. I may or may not trade my car. I don’t have to if I don’t want to.

We had two VW TDi's bought back by VW, both for more than we paid for them and both were almost three years old. Many of those have been updated and are now for sale again. They were great cars, fun to drive, super reliable and easily got 40+ MPG even when hammered on. Still, 16K seem like a lot for a 7 year old car. The Ford and the Dodge should come with a hitch and a bike rack for all the times you will need other transportation.

I'll admit there's a cool factor to those Chargers..gobs of horsepower and they growl when driving down the road..That aside, feel free to send me the $$ you're planning to spend on it and I'll light it on fire for you..

Let me know what you guys think and if its worth it for me to change it either of those 3 cars.
The three vehicles you listed (plus the 4Runner you have now) are all so different it's hard to imagine cross-shopping them. I'd have a long think about what your priorities are in a vehicle, and what each vehicle does that the others don't.

For me, I wouldn't sell my T4R for any of the above unless I was desperate to save on gas and could find a smoking deal on the replacement that would leave cash in my pocket from trading down.

I so wanted a Challenger or a Charger, but I didn't want to send you my money so you'd light it on fire.

Fiat-Chrysler makes so many vehicles I'd love to drive, but I can't justify it when their quality and reliability sucks more than Jenna Jameson.

My two cents ... I consider Toyotas to be the closest thing humanity has to a perpetual motion machine. Crazy reliable overall.

And of the big manufacturers, Chrysler is probably among the worst for reliability. And as an old MoPar guy it hurts me to say that.

The mini dealership is willing to give me 22k for my 2013 4runner with 1 accident because of a damn deer but not bad right and only 51k miles. The other car is a 2014 Hyundai elentra sport with 41k miles for 11,595. The Hyundai was a 2.0 manual. It’s got leather seat? Sunroof, back up camera, push to start button.

The only ones I'd begin considering are the Mazda 3, the Corolla, and the Scion TC. I'm not up on Mazda, but I think their Ford partnership was over by 2011, so they were already making their cars better. Corollas are Corollas. They're like the cockroach of cars. The Scion TC might be the best option of the bunch, though. Lower mileage than the Corolla, newer, and all of the Scions were made in Japan which usually is a sure thing for a car being built to last. Of course, your 4Runner is also built in Japan and has one of the most solid reputations of being built to last ever.

Thought the options listed are all over the map, I think the Scion tC is the best of the group.
