Given only the options of these cars, which do you pick and why?

This is a finite and non-flexible list for a work/personal vehicle for the gf. There is no cost to her in any way, so price/value isn't an issue.


2007 Subaru Legacy sedan 2.5i
2007 Subaru Legacy wagon 2.5i
2007 Dodge Charger SE (RWD)
2007 Dodge Caravan
2007 Ford Fusion

All are equipped with only their base options except for extra airbags/safety items where available, along with only automatics.

At this point it seems to be between the charger and legacy sedan, with the choice leaning towards the Subaru.

That's a really whacky collection of vehicles.

I like the Legacy wagon for saftey, economy, and functionality.

Having driven the Fusion, it's high on my list of cars I'd own, but I'd consider the others. I haven't driven a caravan or charger and the closest to a legacy I've driven is an outback, but I really liked the handling of the outback.

Don't know if this helps or not, but with a caravan you'll b able to transport most bigscreen tv's and couches/fridges and other big things. But it gets less mpg because it IS a minivan, soo...

I'd pick the Charger or the Caravan or the Legacy wagon.
But the Fusion would probably be a nice car.

I picked the Caravan. Why you ask? I picked it since it's the least likely vehicle on that list I would want to drive.

Charger without a doubt

I just had a base Charger for a weeks rental on a business trip and I loved it, much more than I thought I would. It's very spacious and comfortable, great handling, and even the base 6cyl had plenty of power. And even the retro styling grew on me

The base is 250HP in the US, but I believe it's only 190HP in Canada.

EDIT: I would pick whichever had the most standard features, since it sounds like a compnay car.

Going out test driving today. Think we'll try the legacy sedan and wagon, charger, and fusion if we have time.
