Review written on 5/1958.
We've had access to the Dorunt 3146 for a while now. This Hatchback surprised us more than the Berliner or the I1783. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Hatchback? Read ahead to find out!

On first glance the Dorunt 3146 seems to have everything you'd want in a daily driver on the track. It is not overly powerful, but it packs enough punch to get up and go. While you won't win any races, you won't hold up any traffic. The Hatchback's 49 hp @ 2589RPMs 1683 cc I6 engine does well enough under load to keep you satisfied. The 3146 is able to top out at 68 mph and accelerates at 32.299s 0 to 60 mph. With 80 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 1106 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! Ultimately the Dorunt 3146 is your average Hatchback on the track. There is not much to say about the Dorunt 3146 when it comes to handling. As a Hatchback it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the 3146 is mundane.

The interior of the Dorunt 3146 is nothing short of amazing. It is beyond words to say how perfect this vehicle is. Only the finest materials in the greatest possible workmanship ever seen in this type of vehicle grace the 3146 interior. I can not do anything but recommend the 3146 for everyone. Dorunt really outdid themselves.

In terms of passenger and cargo space the Dorunt 3146's 34 cu-ft could be considered quite adequate for its class. The seats are roomy enough for almost every person, it can store what you would expect, and there is still enough room left over to have a bunch of knickknacks. It's hard to see where Dorunt could improve this car. It's good. Very good.

It may not be much in this day and age, but the Dorunt 3146 is above its class average when we looked at the physical quality of the machine. While other manufacturers cut corners, Dorunt looks to keep their image and public perception high. They do a good job at that with the 3146.

Reliability of the Dorunt 3146 is not good. It's really dependent on how well you take care of the vehicle and luck of the draw. Almost all 3146 have some sort of issue within their lifetime. But it's never exactly enough of a pain to make you regret your purchasing decision. If avoiding the mechanic shop is your priority, it may be best to look elsewhere.

When it came to fuel economy testing we tried to see how far we could go in the Dorunt 3146. Our goal was to run it out of fuel. We tried and we failed. Even when the 3146 fuel gauge was below E, it kept going! Befuddled at this we asked Dorunt engineers how this is possible. They showed us their Motor Bunny fuel system, which just keeps going and going and going and going for an impressive 29.5 mpg. In one word, amazing.

With that said, I would not trust the Dorunt 3146 with my kids. The risk adverse should avoid this vehicle due to its horrible safety features. This is probably why the dealership makes you sign a wavier before driving it.

It is not the greatest Hatchback. Heck it's not even an average Hatchback. The Dorunt 3146 is mundane. And you don't want to be mundane do you?
