As a bonus, it's basically a discount Alfa Romeo.
is what's going to get people in the door. For that cash, they get the base GT model with standard all-wheel drive, an all-digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, basic active driver aids, and Koni frequency selective shocks. It's a lot of kit out of the box, and if you've got money to spend, every option package is available for every trim level, so you can load it up with a tech package, track package, and more.
The real move, though, is to get the optional Track Pack with its two-mode, electronically adjustable dampers. In their default mode, they ride better than anything else in the segment and give up nothing in handling. Put them in Sport and they're only a little firmer than the standard shocks, but make the car feel very racy.
Load up the R/T with the track package, put it in Sport mode, and hit your favorite twisty road, and you'll be pretty impressed with what it can do. Pushed to its absolute limit, the six-speed automatic up front starts to get confused about whether it should shift up or stay in a lower gear and let the gas engine scream at high rpm, but you can override it with the big shift paddles. Thrown into a corner, it feels like a tall, heavy hot hatch.
