Slightly later than mid-life crisis car…
-
So next year I get to pick out my mid-life crisis car with 1 caveat… Coupes are fine, but it has to have a backseat. No 2-seaters…
So… on one end of the spectrum, I’ve always loved muscle cars. The Challenger in particular, especially one with a Cuda kit is my favorite…
but I would need to go used now that Challengers are all EV… and the Mustang Dark Horse would make a good alternative and is actually a better handling vehicle.But… Now that I’m getting a little more mature, the idea of quality sedan like an Audi A6 has it’s appeal…
What should I look at?

I would rent one of those muscle cars before buying. Years back I rented a Camaro I think and was shocked how poor the visibility was.
Audi’s on my list for mine, which will likely be when the boy goes to college. I wanted to try one when I bought this car but it was spring of 21 during the height of post covid supply chain issues and there were none to be test driven. All on the lot were sold and people were ordering them without a test drive.
2 seaters are on the list too.

As much as I liked to original 70’s Challengers, I drove one of the new ones to Tennessee and back in 2015. I deliberately took the windy mountain road back through Hazard Ky and all that. It did not impress with either power or handling. EVs are pretty damn impressive for power so the new ones might be a better choice. Other than that I might look for a lower mileage BMW 7 series. Luxury, power and handling.

I'm not sure whether an Audi A6 qualifies as a midlife crisis car, not even the fabulous A8. Nor a big BMW.
Classic Jenson Interceptor?
Ferrari 456?
Modern Aston Martin?
Porche?How about a wolf in sheeps clothing...
VW Golf R Estate. All the modern comforts with terrific speed and road holding (the police here don't chase a Golf R, they call for helicopter assistance). Double twin pipes are the only telltales
