Competition in the Hatchback segment has just gotten a little more heated. Durack has launched the S2738. Is this Hatchback enough to unseat the Berliner or will it be worse than the I1783. Don't worry! We have the answers.

As always our first test is the track. Right off the bat I knew that the Durack S2738 was not going to be a show stopper. The vehicle is sluggish, specially for a Hatchback. However it does what it has to. Get you from point A to point B. And while getting there quickly isn't a priority, with all the traffic these days, could you really enjoy anything faster? The 33 hp @ 2896RPMs 889 cc V4 engine does struggle, but there is enough there to do the job. The S2738 tops out at 55 mph and can accelerate in Not Applicable. So while not fantastic, enough for a daily driver. The engine puts out 49 lb-ft of torque which can haul 606 lbs. There is not much to say about the Durack S2738 when it comes to handling. As a Hatchback it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the S2738 is mundane.

The Durack S2738's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the S2738.

Amazingly spacey the Durack S2738 can bost 35 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.

The workmanship put into the Durack S2738 is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the S2738 is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Durack has perfected the perfect.

The Durack S2738 was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

The Durack S2738's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The S2738's 21.2 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.

While the Durack S2738 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.

Thirty years from now folks will nostalgically look back on this generation of Hatchback. Except, Durack S2738 will be one of the ones they're not fond of, if they can even remember it at all. Will it suit you fine now? Sure. But we wouldn't recommend it if over other options out there.
