What non C-body/non-MOPAR would you drive as a daily . . .

[Edison]

Was talking to a friend about this who is looking for a new car soon. If you had to buy a new car right this second as a daily driver, what non-MOPAR and non-C body would you choose?

I think if I had a family and was on a budget, I could see myself in a clean Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Affordable, built to last, roomy and with the bars out front can push all kinds of crap out of your way! LOL

If I had a higher budget, I think I could rock a Mercury Marauder.

Ford Fusion.

My needs for a daily driver outweigh my desires..... Gotta be real good on gas and comfortable.

My daily right now is a Chevy Impala company car that I refer to as "Vlad". Vlad the Impala does a lot of things right, comfortable heated seats, a good A/C system and gets 25MPG. I do about 40k miles a year, so comfort is real high on the list. I'd consider another, but I think the Ford would win out.

M Body Mopar. Stone Axe reliable 318/ Torqueflite and wonderful appointments. Here's a couple I've had over the years.

My daily has to be a truck and sorry, I ain't driving a Ford or a GM product.

I'm there with ya Detmatt, my Brother drove a Crown Vic as a cop car for years, and then the Sheriff's Dept went to the new Chargers. shortly after he then was in a major accident. The shift sergeant was told if John had been in the Ford, he would have been killed. I'll stick with a mopar.

Well, my actual daily driver is a 2005 Sebring 4-door with a 2.4L DOHC and automatic. It's been a pretty good car.

I drove a 1970 Mercury full-size with a 351W/FMX auto as a daily driver for 17 years. In all of that time that car only left me stranded once. The little Starter Drive thingy disintegrated into a gazillion pieces of shrapnel inside my bellhousing. So, my starter was spinning, but couldn't crank my engine.

I guess I would choose a Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis, as I've always liked them. I might also choose an early 90's F-150 4x4. Although, since a daily driver is going to be pretty much disposable, especially here with the winter road salt, I guess I wouldn't really care too much what it was.

I feel that way too...but the lines on the Toro are hard to ignore.

I'm happy with my BMW and the VW. Good daily drivers, both.

 

[Pete Kaczmarski]

In the summer either the '79 New Yorker or '78 New Yorker St Regis Coupe or 2004 GTO. In the winter my '94 Lesabre.

I'd have a nod towards the 05-09 Mustang. Just a regular GT package. Probably an auto. However I see a Buick or something that rides & sits very good in my future as I hurt 24/7 with body aches now. I get to drive Mercedes & BMW's fairly regularly & the 'benze' E class, S500 & the BMW 5 series are super nice, but way too much money for me.

I would love to have either a Mopar Cop Car or a Long Roof ... when I have space for more vehicles then maybe.

Presently my DD is a 98 Durango we bought new. It's still pretty nice with 75K on it .. but I do need some replacement mopar running boards or brackets if anyone has some or could fab me some .. brackets that is.

 

[polara71]

Can't see me driving anything else but.....I guess I'd have to ho find a 67 Ford convertible

So. . . I guess you really didn't mean a "NEW" car. You just meant "another car." Is that correct ?

Yeah I just meant new as in something you don't currently own. Try to make us think outside the box. Like the cars I posted for myself are so far removed from my current fleet its not even funny.

I would love to daily a classic, but its impossible year round here in STL. Any classic would quickly be turned to a rusted piece of swiss cheese and I couldn't do that. Plus for myself, I commute through heavy down town traffic at least three days a week (used to be every day but I work from home some days now).
