Dorunt is in a unique position with the D1613. The Limousine segment rules the H3442 market. While the I83 is the worst vehicle in the segment. Where does the D1613 fit between these two extremes? Should consumer celebrate Dorunt's new Limousine? Or is this just another underachieving vehicle in the Limousine segment?

We brought the Dorunt D1613 out to the track expecting the worst. And boy were we surprised. While the D1613 isn't the fastest Limousine, it is certainly as good as most Limousine out on the market today. We thought the 65 hp @ 3184RPMs 1344 cc V6 engine was a good fit for this model. We were able to top out at 75 mph and on the strip we did a 33.446s 0 to 60 mph. With this 86 lb-ft of torque can tow 1177 lbs. Once again. Not great, but not bad. While impressed the D1613 isn't perfect on the track. But it's still good enough for most people. Compared to its peers in the Limousine class the Dorunt D1613 selling point should not be driveability. The D1613 offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better.

Dorunt's interior design stands out among its peers. The material selection is fantastic, each seat is crafted by fine artisans, and the ride quality outstanding. D1613 is also full of features other drivers can only dream about. You will not want to leave the inside of this vehicle.

The Dorunt D1613 gives you a sense of home away from home. With 34 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the D1613 feels like a second living room. Which was what Dorunt was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Dorunt thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

Serious effort goes into every Dorunt D1613 produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Dorunt in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.

The Dorunt D1613 is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

While the Dorunt D1613 will not win any awards for its fuel consummation. Its 26.7 mpg is better than most vehicles in its class. This means more money in your wallet and a happier long term experience. Dorunt did a good job in this respect.

While the Dorunt D1613 is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.

When it comes down to it, the Dorunt D1613 is one of the best Limousine on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Limousine, you won't find a much better vehicle than the D1613. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
