2013 Dodge Dart SXT Rallye Track Test
We take our new long-term 2013 Dodge Dart SXT Rallye to the track to see what kind of numbers this turbocharged sedan can run.

I imagine it would get down to about 8 with the stick, making it more in line with other compacts with their STANDARD engines.
One plus: It's braking distances were consistent!

Sounds like a fairly loaded Focus would be a better deal - better handling and braking, a better dual-clutch (although still not great) automanual, and better engine performance.
And because that better performance comes with the base engine, you get to spend your $1,300 on other options instead of paying that for an engine upgrade.
Have you considered a real-world test? Good heavens, how is it to back into a parking space at the Save-Mart? Can it get out of its own way on a lonely road stuck behind a slow truck when a short space of passing lane becomes available? Can you convincingly hide that a-bit-oversize fuzzy toy you haply found for your daughter on the way home from work while picking up a quart of milk and a loaf of bread?
You people went to "J-School", did you not? Expand your horizons, why don't you? You've rid yourselves (and us) of Inside Line, so, do us a favor, and speak to the rest of us who will NEVER abuse our cars at a test track.
Where are the 2.0 and 2.4 engines, and what are their comparative performance numbers?
