Saw the Hornet logo on back along with R/T badge and I knew this was going to be a fun week. Drove 40 miles to my Hotel through the mountains on winding roads, wow!!! The suspension was awesome in Hybrid and Sport modes and I thought I was driving a V8. Acceleration was incredible and as you know with California drivers, that was a nice asset to have. When I got to Hotel, I was surprised to find out the power plant was a 1.3 liter turbo, crazy!!! I drove the car hard having fun and was surprised after calculating mpg that I averaged 31, mind blowing!!!

It didn't even some-wheel drive, in fact it didn't drive at all after that, lol.

Great video. One thing I would like to point out is that the R/T actually has a ground clearance of around 6 inches in comparison to the 8 inches the GT has which I believe is because of the battery pack. Any chance of getting a review done on the GT spec in the near future? The R/T is neat but Dodge is asking serious money for this thing IMO. The GT seems like the more practical option and in real world testing seems to be not that much slower than the R/T version.

It is a raised sporty hatchback.

The base GT with Blacktop package is almost 20k cheaper and you don't have to deal with the plug in electric crap. Still has 268 HP and tons of standard perks like heated seats and steering wheel. The non hybrid is actually faster 0-60 than the PHEV version.

A moonroof "delete " shouldn't be an option. A moonroof should be an option 😅

This is a subcompact SUV. It is not short on cargo space for the class. What is he comparing it to? Compact SUVs?

Womp womp. Nevermind. His very next line compared it to a CR-V instead of an HR-V, showing he clearly doesn't know what class it's in.

Oh my god, then he goes on about it again later. It's NOT a small crossover, it's a SUBCOMPACT crossover. It's supposed to be small. It's actually on the large side of its class. You're just comparing it to the wrong class.

A $52,000 SUB-compact. That makes this vehicle sound even worse.

@@drivingsports Yes, yes it does, and I never said it didn't. But you can't compare something like leg room or CARGO space with a vehicle of a completely different class. Is the vehicle way overpriced? Yes. Is it smaller than its rivals? Not really. You just sound biased when you make it sound EVEN WORSE than it already is by making false equivalencies with vehicles it's not competing with.

​@@JohnThomWebbthe priced it into a much better "higher class of car." So you might as well compare it to them.
