I can make it work with a RWD, but it's a little more difficult to muster out of a packed/messy road, and I would probably have a better sense of security knowing that it was equipped with a AWD, that's all.

ive got an ls3 camaro and i've driven it in everything and everywhere.

That Yukon we bought with the 6.2 will shit and get. :D

I’m sure the newer motors are hotter yet.

One of my neighbors down south had some ridiculously souped up Grand Cherokee. My buddy change the oil in it and he said he accidentally barked the tires just moving it across the lot.

I’m not sure that’s not it.

I don’t think that’s it. It only (LOL) has a 6.4L. I’m pretty sure the one I’m thinking of had twin turbos or something.

It’s not the same but it’s a viable substitute.

You might at least take a gander at some of those hopped up Grand Cherokees. I don’t know anything about them but it looks like they made a concerted effort to make race cars out of them

Yeah, I have driven RWD on winter season, and while it can work, it's just unnerving at times, especially if it gets slick.

I'd feel better on a AWD than RWD, from my own opinion/experiences.

Eh, I had my charger for 7 years and 3 months. Best decision I ever made. Only had one issue of the water pump blowing out, other than that, nothing else went sideways.

Anyone have any opinions on the new Jetta GLIs?

I like it but it doesn't really distinguish itself. But a hell of a lot better than the Subaru in that class. Which is a shame and Subaru's don't seem to get the love they deserve.

I think it should age nicely. Have been hearing great things about how they drive

I looked further as I am in the market for a new ride myself. This, to me, is the best choice in the class. Car and Driver loves it.

VW's can be quite quirky, require A.D.D. level care, and provide less value.

Definitely check out The Redline Review of it on YouTube. That guy is thorough with his car reviews.
