Only 1K miles on Hornet RT
By SD Jones | on Saturday, November 18, 2023
4.0
Wanted a CUV for its practicality. I was coming out of a Mustang. I also wanted some performance. I was intrigued by the Hornet for that reason. I have also had a love for Alfa Romeo cars. The Hornet is based on the new Alfa Tonale. For all of those reasons, I was not a sheep & I checked it out for myself. I leaned toward the RT because of the incentives. They totaled 10K. That brought the car down to around 34K. Much more manageable than the $44,620 sticker price. I am a car guy so I understand things outside of the shiny things that consumers are drawn towards. For example you get 4 Piston Brembro brake calipers & Koni shocks. Independent rear suspension. All season sport tires. You get either the GY Eagle GT or the Michelin Sport all seasons. You won't find them on a Hyundai or even the Toyota. You definitely need to take the time to learn the car. 3 Drive modes. Hybrid, E Save, & Electric. I've been getting around 33 miles of all electric range on a fully charged battery. The interior feels solid & refined. Seats were a big things for me. I will say that if you are a larger individual the bolsters might cut into your hips. (I am not, so no issue for me) Infotainment & standard safety features are amongst the best in class. Small trunk & weird handle to close the hatch. I love the exterior look. The blacktop package adds to that look. Blacked out badging along with blacked out mirror caps & trim. My main concern is overall reliability. I have had a few tech clichés with the security system & front end collision sensor. Waiting on 4th quarter software update to hopefully fix some of the tech gremlins. So far I am pleased with the vehicle. Check one out for yourself.…
Got my 2024 RT plug in hybrid for 30k

Like many people, I was hesitant about the Dodge Hornet R/T. The internet is full of "Dodge loyalists" who can't stand that it's a rebadged Alfa Romeo Tonale and not a true muscle car, and I admit I was concerned about long-term reliability. But the deal I got—a staggering $24,000 under MSRP—was too good to pass up. Now, with over a year and 7,000 miles on the odometer, I can confidently say that rolling the dice has paid off completely. This car has been an absolute pleasure, with zero issues to date.
The Hornet R/T is an impressive vehicle that balances performance with everyday efficiency. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain, with a combined 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, is a game-changer. It's the most powerful compact crossover in its segment, and the acceleration is genuinely thrilling. The electric motor, which powers the rear axle, gives you immediate torque off the line, making city driving feel incredibly responsive.
But the real magic is the plug-in hybrid system's impact on my lifestyle. With an EPA-rated all-electric range of about 33 miles, I've barely had to use the gas engine. I've only filled the tank twice in over 7,000 miles, as my daily trips are almost always less than 30 miles. It’s saved me a ton of money on gas, and the insurance rates are surprisingly reasonable, making it a win-win for my wallet.
Beyond the powertrain, the Hornet R/T is packed with great features. The interior is modern and driver-focused, with a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen running the latest Uconnect 5 system, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I also have the digital gauge cluster, which is crisp and customizable. The car is equipped with standard features like a heated steering wheel and heated front seats, making it a comfortable ride in any weather. The exterior is just as striking, with a bold, muscular stance that stands out from the crowd. I've received a lot of compliments on its sharp styling.
Ultimately, I'm proof that you don't need to listen to the online noise. The Hornet R/T is a fantastic car in its own right—a stylish, powerful, and incredibly efficient daily driver. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend finding a dealer who is willing to offer a significant discount. Take it from a real owner: this is a great car, and it's a much more affordable way to get into a high-tech, high-performance compact SUV.…
TIE Fighter on Wheels
By KYWhodat | on Tuesday, April 23, 2024

I've had my 8-Ball Hornet GT with Cold Weather and Track Pack for almost a year now. When I saw it and sat in it I imagined it was a TIE fighter on wheels. I was not disappointed when I drove it. The 268 hp is a leader in it's class. No, you will not be dusting Camaros and Mustangs, that is what Charger and Challengers are for. As mentioned I have the Track Pack, and it is very nimble and quick on curvy roads. It is a more sophisticated and refined power than a typical Dodge. You can definitely see and feel the European influence. I know "True Mopar Guys" hate it, but this is a market segment Dodge needed to delve into and I think they did it very well. My wife and son each drive a Jeep Compass, the Hornet is much more fun to drive. I highly recommend it.…
