Our 2009 Charger SXT 3.5, is getting long in the tooth. 160,000 miles now, it is our work horse car. Been a good car, comfortable, still decent on gas at around 18 to 22 MPG. But it is time to move on.
We have other DD vehicles besides the Charger. We are retired and our trips are mostly short and in town now. We take many 700 mile round trips a year to California to see the Grand baby. Any of our vehicles can do this trip. We usually take the Charger as it gets the best mileage. Not so confident in it for long trips anymore.
I have gotten the idea lately to get a Hybrid. It makes sense to use electric power for our daily trips to the store, out to eat, etc. Shopping the used Hybrid vehicle market the Chevy Volt comes up as one of the better used Hybrids to buy. They have depreciated badly, yet get good reports for reliability and battery life. Hmm?
Good idea? Or not?
