Default New Dodge Owner

Hey hey!

First time Dodge owner here. My name is Keith and I live in Maine.

I just traded in my 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Sport for a 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye Edition. 1.4T with the six speed manual. Red of course.

I don't know what all the hate is about this car. Yes the acceleration isn't that great under 2500-3000RPM but if you give it to her, she'll go! Actually to be honest this car has more HP than my Eclipse did, so I'm seeing an improvement! lol

I am currently at work but will be adding pictures once I can take them. Probably around lunch or so.

Welcome to DF

Yes i already know about the slow acceleration, But after 2nd gear and the turbo goes into boost. Its a lot better. Remember the engine only has 165 HP. The eclipse does have more power on take off from a stop. But you will get better MPG with the dart. Also if you waited until the 2.0L tigershark came out, that engine only has 160 HP.
