If I had any complaint about mine, it's the lack of power under 2200 RPM, but once that Turbo kicks in, I can leave many cars in the rear-view.

I like that it has an engine the size of a lawn mower, and I've been noticing that in my wallet for damn sure compared to that V8 - sure you give up one benefit for another. I've owned a LOT more V8's than 4 bangers, for sure. So the larger savings on gas really hits the spot once you start getting past mid-way in years of life, lol!

I bet I can save enough on Gas this year to buy a first Gen Durango outright - then... i'll put on some dual-exhaust and get the larger V8 this time too, rawr!

I've always had a concern about small engines, turbo and maintenance - but when the dealer mentioned 'lifetime warranty' - I asked him where I should sign.

I LOVE working on project cars/trucks - but not my daily driver.

Hell, maybe I'll skip the Durango and get the car I have ALWAYS wanted... 1970 Dodge Challenger... RAWR!!!
No... I'd have to win the lottery for that!

But I can't say I'm at all unhappy with this Dart.
