Well, I thought about staying with the Monte Carlo, but lately I'm starting to get annoyed with the 2 door thing. Also, I really don't want to buy a used car. Everyone I've looked at needs work from the get-go. Mine needs work too, and it is 11 years old so I just decided to drop it and get a brand new car instead.
Also, a Toyota Camry-
Good on gas, but the car itself has some really boring styling (I think..)

You have to push up the back of one of the front seats to get into the rear. On my Monte, I have to not only do that, but enter in from the right side. The right side isn't powered, so you lift up the lever on the back, and pull the seat forward to get into the back. On the left, you have to push the button to move the seat up, and then move it back. Once it's back up, then I have to fiddle with it to be comfy again.

The folks went on vacation a little while back and they rented a Corolla. Talk about junk. You couldn't even keep that thing in the lane, it blew all over the freeway. The only good thing it's got going is the gas mileage. And about 20 minutes after being on the road with it the "Maintenance Req'd" light came on. I'm not a Toyota fan.

Yeah, on mine, the passenger one would fold and slide forward when you pull the little black button on the back. Then my drivers one, the actual back of the seat would just move, but it wouldn't slide up or down on the track, and then the back would just drop back into place.
i was negative towards toyota at one time...then a dealership asked me to start detailing their cars and really they have decent cars...not many are my style but they tend to last and most drive good
Congrats on the new FORD. I had never had a new car and finally felt ready 2 years ago. Had an 09 Challenger R/T. Loved it and miss it, but after two years of my car payment being higher than my house payment. I traded it in for my 07 SS. Now, I am a welcome member here. LOL

Damn, all along I thought you had BOTH rides.
Oh well sometimes you just have to prioritize things, i hate being so tight financially, glad you were able to get things going.

I would have looked into the new chargers
