Dodge Durango Reviews

"In spite of its generous proportions, the Durango manages to deliver both a smooth, composed ride and nimble handling around corners."

"Instrumentation is clean, handsome, easy to read and easy to operate. It looks classy."

"Two V-8s are available and both are superb. The popular 4.7-liter V8 and the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 are smooth and powerful."

"There's an immediate feeling of roominess in the front seats, with a good-sized center console between."

"Hemi V-8 muscle [optional], solid chassis, nifty instruments, first-rate space utilization."

"Steering direct but overassisted, and Durango reacts slowly in quick changes of direction."

"...adults will find legroom and storage areas in short supply in the second row. Meanwhile, the third-row seat is suited for kids only."

"Fuel economy is poor. In city driving, I averaged a meager 13.8 miles a gallon..."

"V6 weak in initial acceleration and passing power..."

"The only element singled out for criticism was the location of the rear-wiper switch, low and to the right in the center stack, far from the other wiper control and hard to reach."

"In particular, the tactile differentiation of the various switches - cruise control, power window lifts - was singled out as best in test."

"Durango's taillights are distinctive as well, looking like afterburners from a jet fighter with two big red stacked circles per side."
