@@brettgardner2096 A lease may be better so that you can dump it and not be stuck with the reliability issues long term. The cooling system in particular has issues.
Who likes this color on this Dodge Hornet GT Plus fondly called Acapulco Gold? It is a vibrant color & while driving it out on the roads in the early morning the Gold seems to have a yellowish to orange variance! I must say that Dodge Hornet's Acapulco Gold is growing on me!
@@staceynoellekoenig535 I like the white as it looks good with the black trim of the Hornet! Do you have a Hornet? I drive a 2014 Dodge Dart SXT but I will probably buy a used Hornet in the future as my next car!
The trip computer is also in the rpm cluster. You have to turn all the cluster options on in the vehicle settings. Then you can cycle through and select display option for the cluster
@Retrocidal if you do some investigation you'll learn the the 0-60 times for the gas ans EV are the same. The Dodge Durango with the 5.7 V8 is 6.4 seconds. The Hornet is faster. The Durango with the 392 is 4.7 seconds and faster than the Hornet. Also keep in mind that the 2.0 Hornet already has a JB4 tuner out which gives it a substantial boost in HP and torque. The has Hornet is going to be a great tuning vehicle
@ayee4765 GT I'd faster. The 0 to 60 and quarter mile are the same and the tope speed on the GT is 140mph co.pated to 128 on the RT. The 0 to 60 times Dodge released on the 2 cars were a scam to get folks to buy the RT. The 0 to 60 and quarter mile performance on both cars are equal.
The color is top rate in being called Acapulco Gold! Inspite of a bad auto economy and Stellantis's woes the Dodge Hornet GT PLUS AWD is a well engineered Dodge with Alfa Romeo underpinnings! Auto prices these days are astronomical so my pet peeve is that the Dodge Hornet should be priced starting at $23,500! Prices on the Dodge Hornet will be going down due to various inconsistencies within the American Auto Industry! If you want a Dodge Hornet now is the time to go shopping perhaps!
For that 'auto on/off' nonsense, how often do you have to push the button to disable it? I take it the stereo sucks. Can you get a cup in & out of that back cup holder?
I have this exact car but a 23 with all options and it's amazing. I have 24k miles on it and love driving it. Ita loaded with tech. It's an awesome little SUV
as a Stellantis service tech.... don't. Just don't. There are better options out there and these are having MANY issues. You could give me this for free I would still decline it.
@@serialten What are the Hornet issues? Overall the Dodge Hornet is a well engineered small SUV! This car has been badly disparaged in a terrible Automotive industry! Yes I agree that the starting price of the Dodge Hornet GT is a bit extravagant indeed! The entire automotive industry is in dire straits at the moment primarily due to the New Green Deal & previous EV MANDATES by the current Biden Administration! Stellantis CEO, Carlos Tavares, seems to be intentionally attempting to destroy the CDJR brands! There are rumblings that Frank B. Rhodes, the great grandson of Walter P.

I currently drive a 2014 Dodge Dart SXT which has been an excellent automobile! The Dodge Hornet has Alfa Romero DNA & in its underpinnings! Like the Dodge Dart the Dodge Hornet has debuted under disastrous circumstances! The Dodge Dart was pushed to the finish line prematurely when it really wasn't ready because the 9 speed transmission automatic wasn't ready so Dodge went with the Hyundai 6 speed automatic, 6F24. As a result the Dart had lots of manual transmissions installed in their early models which hinder sales! The problem with the Dodge Hornet was that it came out when the American Auto Industry was in dire straits with huge inventories coupled with lot rot as a result! Inflationary high pricing coupled with EVs, ELECTRIC CARS have made it where the average car consumer can't afford to buy a car/truck due to astronomical pricing! Be patient as the pricing on the Dodge Hornet is most certainly going to drop significantly! Stay tune! Thanks...
This is the gasoline-only GT model in the video. Additionally, according to Dodge, on the RT hybrid model the battery does reserve power to engage rear traction whenever needed. It is never going to allow the battery to become totally depleted to the point that you won't have AWD available.
A $20000 car that stickers for almost $45000. What's not to love?
Well, when an Alfa is unreliable and impractical it's charming. A dodge? Not so much.
A GT or RT can now be had for about $27k plus 0% interest. I’m actually thinking of getting one if the price drops a little more.

@@brettgardner2096 Me too possibly!
@@rogerrussell9544 The cooling system leaks are primarily occurring in the RT models from the rear cooling lines!

Can't wait to get mine
Attention: Dealers are dropping MSRPs on these Dodge Hornets by as much as $10,000! Now is a great time to buy your Dodge Hornet!

The zero to 60 time on the GT is actualy 5.6 seconds even though Dodge advertises 6.5. Its very peppy. Just as quick as the RT
ev is 5.6 with the Boost Thing the l4 2 liter is the 6.5 it still faster then a dodge Durango with a v8 thoue lol
top speeed ev is 128 thoe witch is slow and teh gas one can go 140

Great review bro & I'm thinking of buying this.

They rattle like crazy.
That Price! Damn! Loaded CR-V, RAV 4, Envision, Santa Fe, Sorento, Explorer, You get the point. I get it has Alpha DNA. But CR-V is Fun too.
They are they just don’t have POWER SHOT I love it
$45k for that? Hard pass on this car.
as a Stellantis service tech.... don't. Just don't. There are better options out there and these are having MANY issues. You could give me this for free I would still decline it.
what issues?
As a rocket scientist, I disagree

Some minor issues with software. Updates have corrected them.
Overpriced morphydite car that wont be around in 3 years Ans lose value like a led balloon !
At $45,000, no wonder there are plenty of Hornets in dealership parking lots waiting to be sold if at all.
Now is the time to start shopping for a Dodge Hornet as PRICES ARE COMING DOWN!
@@johnbeckham1483 I’d avoid anything Stellantis
its not AWD bud the gas runs teh front teh electric runs the back and at 30 miles rang means you wont have AWD only front wheel drive
This is the gasoline-only GT model in the video. Additionally, according to Dodge, on the RT hybrid model the battery does reserve power to engage rear traction whenever needed. It is never going to allow the battery to become totally depleted to the point that you won't have AWD available.
Horrible gas mileage for such a tiny suv. No wonder these aren't selling.
Not built for optimum mileage. Built for performance. You can buy one of the grocery getters if your looking for optimum mileage.
