Our local dealer has two Darts!
I took a white SXT 1.4 for a test drive.
Overall very impressed, I was expecting to feel under powered, based on what the reviews said about the 1.4, for me it was perfect in fact I had a hard time telling/feeling that it was a turbo, power pickup was very smooth! Was easy to get going in traffic(and it's been 10 years since I have drivin a stick) the car was quite, very quite. Puts my Sebring to shame! Ride was great and steering effortless.
The quality is very nice, seats are comfy, the room inside was ok for me (6'3) back seat was small once I had the driver seat adjusted for myself. Doors shut with authority, power windows are quite in their operation. Radio controls are just fine and the none touch screen radio looks great! Why can't they use this radio for Chargers? That silly looking tiny touch screen is rediculas and make the dash look incomplete, I digress...
A/C was fine took a little longer then I like to get cool, but once cool it was just fine. It was about a 100 or so out side.
I did find the brakes a bit on the grabby side, but after two stops I had a groove on and never thought about it.
Two things I did not like, the speaker grills, what where they thinking? Just does not flow with the rest of the car.
The trunk lid did not line up very well at all and that would be deal breaker for me, it could have just been this car, but still it was bad. No like!
Options, Bluetooth, sat radio, PW, DL, power mirrors, LED racetrack lights, 1.4, nice looking alloy wheels. All for 20k not a bad price! Chrysler is going to sell tons of them!
