Well as im looking into a New dart, i can say that im not even sure you can get an SXT for almost 23K, the one im looking at new to order it is only like 20,750 loaded. Also the mpg for what ever reason is way off, these SXT's with the 2.4L/6 speed easily do 30/39 and better. Lastly the auto is optional because its a DDCT or Dual Dry Clutch Trans.
