If space is your ultimate goal, which it sounds like it, yes go right ahead.

One of my former coworkers has a newer (2017?) Charger V6. He regrets it and enjoys driving his Dart more. He recently traded the Charger in for a Chrysler 300. Sounded like a V8 to me. He is much happier with the 300, and I'm guessing it's mostly the V8.

So unless your FR-S is inoperable (not really sure what you meant by a paper weight), I would really think about it. Ultimately it is your call, but it would be terrible if you did do the trade, and that Charger starts giving you issues.

I think the OP is trolling, such a nonsense first post.

Someone I know of on another forum got himself a used Dodge Magnum wagon.
Since then, nothing but shit-show problems with the transmission and electronics.
Won't sell it due to taking a bath, given what he paid for it.
Can't get it running without spending even more.

If he rarely drives it....whats the charger going to do to change it...?
Instead of a paper weight he'll end up with a boat anchor.

The v6 charger is surprisingly sluggish off the line. Feels like it doesn’t have enough low end torque for its weight. The v8 charger is much better. If you want the full charger/muscle car experience, I’d highly recommend the v8.
