Initial review after 70 miles of "spirited" driving today.
#1 - There is so much power its just stupid. seriously
#2 - I need wider, stickier tires cause these 245 pirelli's just aint cuttin it
#3 - The stability of AdvanceTrak is absolutely stunning. It doesnt cut ALL power when you start spinning, only enough to get you to stop spinning
#4 - The ride/comfort and quietness in the interior is phenomenal. Equivalent to high end luxury cars. Seats are incredibly comfortable, suspension is very forgiving, and very little road noise in the cabin
#5 - SYNC is one of the coolest things out there....period.
#6 - Overall there is really no "cheapness" to be found. Seems to be made very well with high quality components.
I expected a LOT, and this car has far exceeded my expectations. Thanks for looking guys. I know its not a mopar, but i figured most of you would like to see it anyways.
Thanks to you all for letting me hang around here even if i'm not in your region. Its a fun place to hang around for sure.
