Putty Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thoughts on this car? Fully loaded, nothing else available to put in it. $26k http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/0318141755_zpsfajgyhqb.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 for you or the GF? For 26k I would say pass. Its not a fast car or fun car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I like them. If I were to get one I would probably get a stripper model with the rallye package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 What kind of car are you looking for? I can think of quite a few new cars I'd rather drive than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 For 26k I would say pass. Its not a fast car or fun car. Is there anything comparable for the price with the specs and technology it has? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/0316141541a_zpsl1d6isj6.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 What skinner said. If you want something that looks alright and gets good mileage, there alright. But dont expect anything more. Even the turbo version is a 17 second car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Even the turbo version is a 17 second car All models are NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 for you or the GF? For 26k I would say pass. Its not a fast car or fun car. Nor is it particularly roomy. All models are NA They offer a turbo 1.4L. Gets good MPGs. That's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I drove the 2.4L . I'm willing to bet a SRT4 model is coming. After going to the car show this past weekend, the interior on this car is much nicer than some cars twice it's price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 For that money if you are looking for something nicer I would look at a ATS or CTS they can be had for that price Used If you want new I would take a TDI jetta, TDI sport wagon. over the Dart. Better built and you will make money when you sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 For that money if you are looking for something nicer I would look at a ATS or CTS Huh? A CTS coupe for '14 is 40 to 50K. ATS is 38 to mid 40K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'd look at the VW Jetta. Can be had with the new 1.8T engine fully loaded for 26k I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Huh? A CTS coupe for '14 is 40 to 50K. This is CR, don't you know when asking for new car purchases, you will be swamped with 50k mile, 10 year old cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 My point here is you can't get a fully loaded Kia Optima for 26K. In fact, it's 36K which I saw at the show. For what's in the Dart, I cannot find another car that offers it for the same $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'd look at the VW Jetta. Can be had with the new 1.8T engine fully loaded for 26k I think. Beat me to it. You can get a 2014 TDI Jetta for $26,000 MSRP with premium and Nav. Package. I've heard nothing but bad about the Darts. http://www.vw.com/en/models/jetta/trims-specs.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 If he's looking for features, the 1.8T is more car for the $, but I agree, a TDI is even better. Keep in mind, this "tech" you are talking about is in a dodge/fiat. Its only going to be so good. Also, without knowing the features, its impossible know. I'm not researching Darts just to make my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for cars that where you get the best of the best it has to offer for the said price. No other options, models I'd rather consider, can tact on this or that for an extra cost, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I guess you should take the opinions of those who have no experience with the car. :fa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 My words of advice as a prior owner are : "Run. You'll probably pass a few Darts on the way" . Quoted for truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2highpsi Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 You can get a slightly used Fusion Titanium Ecoboost for less money, and I think it's twice the car. http://www.greatenergychallengeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/ford-fusion-590x344.jpg http://www.carrentingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013-Ford-Fusion-Titanium_ambient-lighting.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
