Got to have my Pepsi Posts: 6252 Location: Baden, PA	I have a 2013 Dodge Dart Aero and i love it. I did get the 1.4 Turbo and 6 speed manual. Right now I am getting around 31 MPG. This compaired to my old Ranger though is like night and day. I drive about 360 miles a week going back and forth to work and only put 40 dollars of fuel in it. My truck I had on the other hand was close to 100 bucks a week in fuel. So the fuel saving alone make up for it.

Expert Posts: 1531 Location: South	Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will say the only thing I noticed between the Focus and Cruze was that the ford seemed smaller and "cheaper" inside, cruze did seem more roomy but I am only 5'2" so room isn't a huge issue. Cruze also seemed smoother and quieter especially with the suspension going over railroad tracks but the Focus wasn't uncomfortable to drive by any means- may just be because it does seem low and narrow. The Dart didn't seem as comfortable to me plus was a bit higher in price for whatever reason so I decided to knock that one out of the equation. I do think I am going to expand my search into looking for a hyundai since so many of you mentioned it and take it for a test drive. Also need to look at the fiesta. Thanks again

You can "build" your own car, then take it to the dealer and they can compare what they have. It also gives you a price, plus any offers/incentives on the car.
