2013 Dodge Dart Series: Part Three - Dart Comes to West Michigan

The new car with the old name, the Dart is set to shake things up in the ever-popular compact segment. GRAutoBlog's editor Abby Hartig, Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram's Owner, Laura Betten Lamer, and Assistant Manager Curt Campeau attended the Chrysler Dealer DriveAway Event held at The Palace of Auburn Hills, where we had the honor to drive Courtesy's first Dodge Dart back to West Michigan.

We were front row at the event, during which the President of Dodge, Reid Bigland, spoke about the company's excitement for the Dodge Dart and Chrysler's recent successes. On the ride back to West Michigan, the word we all kept using to describe riding in the Dart was "smooth." From the handling of the clutch to the comfort of being a passenger, the nearly three hour ride back to Grand Rapids and Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, the Dart was a comfortable and fun ride.

Watch Assistant Manager Curt Campeau's first reaction to the Dart as he drives back from the Drive Away Event: http://youtu.be/J2CF1qEoKvs. We want to hear your first reaction so tweet us @courtesygr or leave a comment on our Facebook!
