Only 1K miles on Hornet RT 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.

2023 Hornet GT Plus with tech and Track pack

1000 miles. This thing is really quick and fairly nimble. It’s front wheel drive biased and you can tell. The 9 speed transmission is pretty good, smooth shifts during hard and light acceleration. We have the Brembo brakes, which I highly recommend. I’m 6ft 210 so it’s a little cramped for me but the seats hold you place. There is very little storage in the front. The wireless phone charge is in a poor position and has difficulty fitting larger phones. The safety sense camera is not great. Doesn’t work driving into the Sun at dusk or with dew on the windshield in the morning or if there is a little dirt on the windshield. So keep your windshield clean. The infotainment can be a bit laggy at times, but overall I like it. I could go on and on with likes and dislikes. If you want a nice same old same old SUV get a Honda or Toyota and you can enjoy a boring commute on a daily basis. Or get one of these, it is like driving a go cart with 270HP, it is seriously fun. The only other SUV that comes close in fun factor is the CX5 turbo. Get it with track pack and avoid the tech pack on this vehicle. My wife is the primary driver and she loves this thing.

The wifey's Dodge Hornet

We've had the car for 3 months, and I'm in love with it. It's supposed to be by wife's car, but I am the one driving it all the time. She is stuck with the Wrangler and the RAM now. With the AWD and that little 2.0L Turbo I go everywhere, and this car will not get stuck in mud, going up steep hills in the rain, it is awesome. And it's an Alfa Romeo. 💪🤠

While my 2024 Dodge Hornet GT Plus is beautiful looking...it is nothing but a pain in my ass. I bought it brand new in Washington on October 16th 2023. Since owning it, several lights have come on and go away just as I finally get it into the local dealership to check it out. Now it is June, 2024 and it has been sitting back at the local dealership for 2 weeks. I went to start it one morning and it was totally dead. My son and husband finally got it jumped and now all (I mean ALL) of the lights on the dashboard are on. The dealership said it would be 1 to 2 weeks before they could even diagnose the problem, leaving me car-less as "they have no loaner vehicles available". I have been waiting over 2 weeks now and they said the battery took [non-permissible content removed] and have to order a new one...another 2 weeks out...Why am I paying 600+ a month for a car that I cannot even drive. SUPER FRUSTRATING!!!!!!! I told them they could keep it and I wanted to trade it in on something else, was offered $26,000. I paid $38,000 for it 8 months ago. What a joke!!!!!

My Hornet has been exactly what I expected. I needed a small-ish CUV with ground clearance, AWD, decent fuel economy, and get up and go. This was the only SUV that fit the bill and had soul. This isn’t a CUV like a RAV4 or CRV; it’s not a function over form nor is it engineered to outlive us all. It’s built in the same vein as other Dodge products, it’s powerful, moderately economical (28 average for me), handles well, and is a little on the pricier side to maintain (tires and brakes are a bit spicy). This is the CUV for the person who needs room to carry a few boxes and wants to enjoy their commute. This vehicle puts enjoyment and features ahead of utility and pragmatism. Is it the most sensible choice for everyone? No. But is a charger or a challenger? Absolutely not. You buy it because it has a soul and makes you smile. It may not be a perfect CUV with its limited rear seat space and less than great economy but it is the perfect CUV for me.
