The Dodge Dart (in GT trim). I love how it looks, the body lines are fantastic.

The interior is great. Shame it’s so unreliable.

I think that the Chrysler 200 looks really classy. Wish that it lived up to its looks.

I had a rental Dart last year for a day. By the end of the day, there were engine noises that were not there at the beginning of the day. I didn’t thrash on it or anything. Made me worry that they were going to blame it on me when I went to turn it in. Nothing ever came of it thankfully.

I really think VW does a great job with the Jetta/Golf. I’d take the Golf since I prefer hatches.

you did say “visually.” I like the Patriot’s looks, too bad it’s a griefbox. if it was scaled up a bit larger and R/4WD, it’d be a credible XJ Cherokee successor.

Yes, this exactly. And I hear Dart’s are so cheap now that I’d probably buy one if I were in the market.

Mini Cooper.

I agree, it’s also one of the few crossovers that offers 4wd & a manual.

Agreed, they might be boring but they don’t look cheap, even down to the Polo and Up!

Only problem with mine is people like to hit it in parking lots.

It gets a lot of stick for being a boring car (though the current model has been given quite a bit of praise) but most people in Europe have learnt to drive in one, owned one at some point or had one in the immediate family. The current generationVauxhall Corsa.

The picture below has the ‘flex fit’ option cycle carrier built into the rear bumper, hence the rectangle around the rear licence plate*

The new Astra is a good looking car also.

I agree about the Dart. It’s a shame the mechanicals of the car are such a letdown. Another I always like the look of was the Versa Note

That red interior trim on the Dart is horrible.
