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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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!

 

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

 

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

 

I might go. I went last year.

 

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

 

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

 

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
