color looks much different online compared to how it actually is in person, it wasn't my first choice, but it was the only color available unless I wanted a car optioned to 25k. This one stickered at just under 22.

I got 900 for trading in the Contour, it was an SE/v6/atx/158k, almost no body rust, no cel, horn didn't work, driver's door lock only worked as manual, fans only worked on high, a few other minor things associated to age.

I have had the Dart since Monday and I have averaged 27mpg on nearly all city driving which is on par with the window sticker of 27city 39hwy
 
Thanks, I LOVE this car. I wanted something that felt really similar to the Contour and this is spot on what I was looking for. The fit and finish, the way it drives everything is perfect about this car. I need to make a vid of the exhaust note, its an absolutely beautiful sound. I'm surprised such a small bore engine can sound as good as it does. The only thing I don't like is that you can't hear the turbo- I need to change that.

I didn't realize how big I made the pics...lol whoops
 
Should have gone with the focus. :) Looks like a decent little car, not a fan of the color though.
 
Yeah, the color is pretty polarizing; I don't care for Ford's Grabber Blue on the Mustang either, and that reminds me a lot of it. I really like the idea of the Dart, though, and I hope it is successful for Fiat... er, Chrysler. Glad you chose this over the Cruze.
 
I keep getting compliments on the color...I don't get it- its mostly from older folks (40+ crowd)

I'm really hoping Dodge will offer factory upgrades that don't void the warranty like they did with the Neon SRT4. I still can't believe Car and Driver put the Focus ahead of this car, the Dart is soooo much better (I drove a Focus sedan AND hatch before getting the Dart) they don't even feel like they are in the same class.
