Waiting for the phone call to see if I got approved for this Dodge Dart. Im stoked.

AcyclicCobalt21

Oh nice man what kind is it the rt? And how much are they going to give you for the cobalt?

TheTruth7

No the RT isn't out yet. Its the turbo one with all the goodies. Never got a phone call, so I guess im a ****** loser or something. And a whomping 13k for my cobalt

AcyclicCobalt21

Oh I thought they had them out already, why not just wait for it?? And damn how many miles are on your car?

TheTruth7

2010 with 20k miles. RT is like 20 hp difference. I could care less

Erick161

Get the GT. Just announced. Seems a bargain for all the goodies it gets. Starts at 21k...practically loaded.

AcyclicCobalt21

Yea could go that route also, are they making an srt model or no?? Hopefully they do and it'll be better than the caliber lol

Erick161

Yeah they are. Just no need for it now. They need traction on all the other models. Fact is...the dart just isnt very good and the sales show it

AcyclicCobalt21

Yea but they look sweeeeeeeet though!! I'd buy one if I had the money and not my car already lol

Erick161

Dodges have ALWAYS been that way. They have generally always looked good for their class and their time period.

..however, when you get to the nitty gritty, most of them are crap. Dart just keeps that trend going. Lackluster interior which cant hold a candle build quality wise to a Focus, let alone the rest of the class. Driving dynamics hindered by it being utterly obese (3200-3300lbs!! WTF!!!), and slow, because its a fatass.

AcyclicCobalt21

They really weigh that much?!? Holy **** lol and what the power they push out? 160ish right

Erick161

Yeah the lower end models weigh just shy of 3200lbs... and the R/T just shy of 3300lbs. That's like 300-500 lbs overweight.

AcyclicCobalt21

Oh wow yea that's crazy high but whatever lol and the crazy thing is that it only has 160hp and 148lb ft . That's about the same as the lt cobalt and less than the 2.4 cobalt. So it's definitely not worth the money I think

TheTruth7

Im not buying it to go fast. So I could honestly care less about speed. I want 40 mpg

Erick161

You will never see 40mpg. You do know that is just a marketing ploy... right?

You might see 28-31... right around their city mpg. Maybe slightly higher with more highway driving. I avg 30-32 indicated a tankfull in my SS

AcyclicCobalt21

Yea I can understand that but I'm getting 30 mpg in my car and that's around town

TheTruth7

The one I drove around was at 38 mpg. It will be all highway when im driving it.

AcyclicCobalt21

Oh ok well that's pretty damn good! And you're tired of the cobalt??

AcyclicCobalt21

It's that time of year again!! Anyone down for doin it in the dark?!?! Here's the info, February 23rd which is a Saturday it starts at 4pm and the address is 3400 us highway 98N Lakeland, Florida exit 32. Hope to see some of you guys out there!

Erick161

What the hell is that? I do like doing it in the dark tho :-)

Clifton

You can always check updates on the upcoming 2014 Ford Fiesta. The 1.0L 3cyl. Ecoboost with GDI is coming to the states later this year. I hear it can go up to 45mpg. That or the ST hatch with the 1.6L Ecoboost that gets between 35-40mpg.

45mpg is tempting

Marca34

I might go. I went last year.

AcyclicCobalt21

Oh did you have the black sstc?? Next you tranced?

Marca34

Yea that was my car. Its slammed on coils this year.

AcyclicCobalt21

Oh nice how'd it come out?? Post a pic and I just helped erick161 with his suspension, just put on some eibach pro kit springs on it so it looks a hell of a lot better lol
