All of those are not compacts!
Robbie...Whats the 3.9 from?
Sublime...I'm up in Maple Ridge BC canada
Johnny Dart...I think you nailed it on the button. This really isn't a thread for what engine is Better. It is for what engine is better for what condition.
Good points people.
The Dart was marketed as a BIG compact. Buy todays standereds it is a midsize car. It weighs less than a VETT!!! What more do you want?
