Some dealers are knocking $10K-$14K off on hellcats as long as you are OK with a narrow body version. There are some deals out there for sure


Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

My wife and I traded her 14 Charger for a 23 Compass after the first of the year. She's tickled with it, I don't care for it trying to correct your course if you get too close to the center or shoulder line.

Just shut that garbage off. My wife's DD has that crap and I quickly disabled it.

Back in 13 Wife and I went looking for a new car. I wanted a Challenger and she wanted something for the dog to ride in.

Of course the dog won and we got a Compass.

It has been a good car.

Blind spots are bad so I put those little moon mirrors on ours, they help.

Congratulations

According to the salesman the steering correction can't be turned off. The auto engine stop can be,

I personally think all of these "features" should be an adder for people that want the 'nanny' controls. Kind of like the GM commercial for their 'Super Cruise' that allow you to 'arrive at your destination refreshed'. If you need all of these 'features', you probably should not be driving.

The salesman is an incompetent moron who should go back to selling shoes.

Agreed, when my wife gets interested in a certain car and model the sales guys and sales gals need to step aside or stay there and not say anything and just learn. Lot's of customers know more about the car and model they want these days. Do they still have those videos with new model features for the sales staff??? Doesn't seem like it wink. I bought a car from my friend's dealer ship in El Paso for my wife that I was driving back to Ohio. His sales guy starts to point out some of the features and I ask how to activate the GPS? This car didn't have the big screen with the touch screen with icons and he couldn't figure it out. I drove nearly 2,200 miles using my motorcycle's Garmin GPS suction cup stuck to the windshield and didn't bother to take the time and use the owner's manual in the glove box that the salesman could have done or pointed out. It was a simple push of a button to activate the car's GPS, DUH.

Most vehicles allow you to use ADAS(advanced driver assist systems) as you wish. Normally stuff such as lane departure/lane keep assist,blind spot detection etc. can be turned on /off. Read the owners manual! You will likely learn to love stuff such as adaptive cruise control. I have an 18 Mustang GT that's loaded with this stuff...some I have disabled and some(adaptive cruise) I have learned to love....wish I could put it on my other two daily drivers!

Enjoy the new car. Hope it is reliable. My wife considered one before she bought the VW.

When I was a kid I read the owners manual for my 73 Charger, front to back. It was about fifty to sixty 1/4 sheet pages. Fully illustrated it told how to change the tires & oil, how to replace a fuse, safety precautions for towing stuff like that.
Now they are 200 to 300 pages filled with stuff like don't drink the acid in the battery and do not bath in motor oil. realcrazy These manuals today are written by people who hate cars and their owners. laugh2 laugh2

That is probably the reason most people don't read the owners manual anymore. If it's even got a manual, for many cars it's an app on the phone you have to download. puke

They are mainly and mostly written by lawyers, and I know for a fact they are proofread lastly by lawyers. Can't imagine what an EV owner's manual is like panic
