Glad you took the time for a detailed review incl. multiple 0-60s that most other channels don't do. GT+ track package seems to be the best performance value IMO

I'd go with the GT because I am not a fan of plug in hybrids. I am actually pretty excited to check this car out.

Certainly isn’t happening on chargers or challengers with or without v8’s

Everyone says that and it never happens

That's when is the right time to purchase one, after the depreciation!

@@Seenoevilspeaknoevilhearnoevil dealers still sell for the price of new there won’t be any depreciation

@@devn3813 Don't worry due to rising interest rates in Nnew and especially the higher interest rates in used vehicles that are getting more and more jacked up, the Car sales market will soon come to a stop. I for one refuse to purchase a vehicle until the market crashes. When there's a market crash then it will be a nightmare scenario for car dealers, and the tide will turn in our favor. All car dealerships now are charging over MSRP, so it is better to wait until the economy crashes and they the dealerships find themselves in dire situation for survival, they will be forced to lower their prices. Just wait and wait, remember good things come to those who wait!

Especially the first year.

Weird KBB, motor trend, and top speed list primarily GM brands, Ford, Mercedes, and Volkswagen as the top 10 most unreliable cars in the US.

"take care of the car and the car will take care of you" that saying is true cs i never had problems with dodge/ram vehicles

@haroldjones12 lol I have a dodge 08 caliber and 11 charger rt. Both over 200k miles still running like a top with only basic maintenance, fluid, filter, and brake changes. I have a 14 Ford escape with 140k miles that I've probably had to put in about $8000 I other than basic repairs.

​@jeffklaubo3168 Volkswagen and Mercedes are on that list because they have additional features that add complexity and possible points of failure such as adjustable suspension, additional infotainment system stuff, fancier multifunctional seats and with Mercedes there was a Litany of additional things like automatic window shades in the rear and adjustable 16 way seats and electric thigh support. Some of them even have reclining rear seats. The core parts of the car like the engine and transmission seem to be pretty Rock Solid historically.

Dodge just reskinned an Italian car, Alfa Romeo deserves the credit

They're Alfa Romeo colors.

True that hella sweet

And thats exactly when ill pick one up

I got to check one out at the autoshow in Minneapolis recently, the interior definitely has better materials and a more rigid feel that most dodge products.

The front is a Skyline r32-34. American cars are trying to be Asian while Asian cars are trying to be American cars. Acura is copying Dodge Charger smh

Yeah, can't at all imagine the fit and finish being nearly as nice as a Mazda but I'd like to be proven wrong.

Ha I have a base dart and just crossed the 100k mile barrier and it's running just fine! Ignorance is bliss for me. My other vehicle is an F150 and I really have only driven trucks so the dart feels like a slow little sports car to me. I will admit, the engine and transmission and stuff are running fine but random plastic bits here and there break all the time.

@@joelmartinez2668 I had a 2013 Dart Limited and traded it in at 100,000. It was terrible. Needed constant suspension work, had to get both transmission and engines mounts changed at 60k. Sometimes the whole dashboard would just go black when driving. Never again. Traded it for a 17 Honda Civic EX-T which has been a wonderful experience.

Had a 2014 dart and it burned oil like crazy not to mention constant transmission problems. Got rid of it and bought an accord v6

No other 30k SUV gives you 268HP, AWD, 12.3 screen, digital guage cluster, LED headlights, emergency braking, adaptive radar cruise control, Alfa Romeo steering and chassis tuning, and a nice interior for the price. All of that is standard.

These will get marked up. 🤣

@@jjchockey the hornet is cheap garbage. It Will live in repair shop

It's built in Italy. Their cars aren't known for reliability. Enough said!!! 🤣

The thing about Alfa Romeo's is that they build some very attractive cars, with unique interiors, only to spend their entire life on the mechanics lift.

@@somecarnet depends on the car. The more mass produced cars are generally pretty reliable but the lower volume cars can sometimes be more expensive to maintain. I had a gtv6 and the parts were more expensive and harder to come by but i had 164 which was much more reliable and parts were not as expensive. I have the base model Giulia Sprint right now with 85k miles and has been very reliable.

I had Guilia Ti for 55k miles with no issues. The ZF transmission is a solid beast. My brother’s Audi was in shop more.

@@somecarnet have you ever actually owned an Alfa or any other Italian car? I’ve owned a few fiat 500 abarths and an Alfa Giulia and they’ve been more reliable than any other German car I’ve owned. A lot more fun to drive too.

Thank you

gotta love these high revving, small displacement, high compression, high HP 4 cylinders

the dodge dart 2 was like one of the coolest cars for every “my mom wont buy a mustang or camaro for my first car” kid. and i wanted one so bad😂

@@patrickirby3059 It was a good looking little car, but the shared fiat engines and transmissions really kneecapped it. Not to mention the vast majority of buyers for that type of car are.. maintenance averse shall we say. Good old paycheck to paycheck, ain't got no cash for oil changes.

Had a 2016 base model with the rally package and I bought right after I graduated from high school. It was a nice looking car indeed with black accents and silver paint. I sold to Carvana a month ago bc the value went up a lot in compare to previous years. Didn’t want to take the risk after I ended up with the financing I would have to spend all my money on maintenance that it already needed, car had 42k miles and you could smell the burned oil.

​@@arc00ta The fiat engine and DCT were the one to get tbh. That shit joint venture Hyundai Motor and trans were fucking disgusting.

STAHPIT the dart was always marketed as a econocar. the fact they shoved the big block in there was just to help get dying sales up. dodge all those problems by buying a REAL American car. not this fiat junk.

how exciting.

I’m not sure the car will last that long to be honest.

Probably stick around as long as the dart did ! Junk !

@@kronk9418 it's better than a mustang. 🤣

how hot it is, is subjective i suppose. but lose the black plastic wheel arches, drop it 2 inches, put 205/55/16s on it, and you'd have a run of the mill hatchback. Like if you dropped 2 inches' ground clearance, the hornet would be almost exactly the same height as an old matrix, and it's only ~2 inches longer than an impreza/crosstrek. it's a lifted hatchback, like most every other small CUV on the market.

My 1st impression was a lifted hatch. I’m actually liking this more & more

Yk what crazy? The title of the video explains your question…

“Compact SUVs” are closer to hatches than actual SUVs, it’s just marketing.

it's like if you added 1,000 pounds of weight to a hot hatch

This thing is ugly asf what you talking bout

And wait for Honda and Toyota to disappear in no time courtesy of huge demand and chip shortage and theft.

Hmmm i wonder whyyy

The neon was a great little car. Even the dart had its merit. Both of those were good value. This abomination at 53k is a joke

that's a bit of a reach

@@VanquishedAgain Hahahaha!! The Neon was a great little car? You only say because your cheap ass probably had one or two. They were junk and caught fire daily.

I disagree given it's the same time as an Altima. They marketed this vehicle to be a bit more sporty so im kinda disappointed.

Isn’t that what most hot hatches are just econo shit boxes with turbos? So what’s the difference this is an econo shit box crossover with a turbo. Both are quick, both are fun to drive and both are affordable. Don’t get you’re gripe with it.

@@SINE382 because crossovers are functionally inferior versions of hatchbacks and therefore their primary purpose are not spirited driving

@@olivertrees take the hornet for a drive and be surprised. It’s actually fun to blast around in. Got to go demo one the other day gt with track pack. Some of us have to justify our vehicle purchases to a better half so being able to get an suv that’s dare I say it fun to drive is rare, before the only thing that came close was the Mazda cx30 and cx5 (was close to a cx30 but too small) so finally something a little more masculine looking. It’s niche but the market exists. For comparison sake I’ve seen these cost $8000 less than a golf r and pricing is identical to a gti, higher ride height and awd makes it more practical than the gti with more interior space to boot. It’s 0-60 rivals that of a gti, surpasses that of an integra which costs similarly. It’s not beating a kona n in performance but costs the same, has more space, better fuel mileage and power to the back wheels. It’s on the top of my list of cars I’m cross shopping and think it makes a great daily driver that’s gonna be fun to drive but offer enough utility for my small family. Considering the insane prices of the Charger gts right now this makes more sense

@@olivertrees I also doubt anyone buying the hornet is gonna track it but gonna have fun ripping up on ramps and blasting through traffic. I don’t see too many hot hatches track driving and in the real world I don’t see a vehicle like a gti having much of an advantage over the hornet. Not many hot hatches in the market right now either. Now if vw decided to make a gti version of the golf alltrack or if Subaru made a wrx version of the crosstrek then I might put my money down elsewhere.

@@SINE382 it’s only in a world where car manufacturers cater to customers and not to good cars that this car exists and makes sense. Dodge could’ve made a better car by making this a hatchback. Instead, this exists.

I agree get it to 375 to 400 hp reliable and earn that badge I don't care who the main owner is of all the car manufacturers but this looks so COOL😊
