Drove a Sonata before so knew what they were like. Had never drove a "Charger" (whoever named that abomination after such a great classic should be flogged, drawn and quartered) so thought I would give it a shot. I am not convinced that even the hemi in that thing could win me over (other than burn out time). It is one of the most mind numbing driving experiences I have ever had and I have drove a pile of different cars.

Maybe the Prius C, just so I can drive in jackass mode like most other Prius drivers I encounter on a daily basis.
They had the two cars (Charger and Sonata) on the lot and that was it. For pure shock value I was really hoping for a Civic, Prius or Mustang as I could have made a much better show of going to one of them.
