Great used car

Purchased my vehicle with the help of Sam and Mr. King at Payless Auto Sales March of this year. I'm in love with my car. They were very professional. I left the lot satisfied

Found my perfect car

This car has a bit of trouble getting out of it's own way but once you learn how to get past that (by not slamming the gas) it's the perfect little car. I average 30 miles per gallon in the city and I don't drive like a grandma. I down graded a bit from my last car only in size because even without the bells and whistles this car is worth every penny (except for the sound system I had the premium system in my last car and the system in the dart blows my old system out of the water). Also they come in beautiful colors with little accents that make them pop no matter how many cars are around. Basically I have loved this car for over a year and now that I finally own my one I am in heaven. And my gas bills have been cut in half.

the black thunder

pretty car the looks like a sports car, does not cost like one Short comings may be the paint quality and wheels.... especially mine being black. any slight to touch scratches and they show, as well as one dent. The wheels are aluminum and any touch of a curb probably has depreciated my car. I have noticed and believe the extras (rust proofing and etc) are worth it. I have driven behind many dodge vehicles and see the engine pan holder underneath very rusty. Not something to look at and feel good about. The performance is very good, and even enjoy the sound of the engine! Purrs like a race car, accelertating is enjoyable. No law against going fast from 0 to the speed limit!

2013 Dodge Dart sxt, best car experince

By far the greatest American compact car on the market today, very sporty for a compact which makes it loads of fun. Has a very sleek Italian inspired exterior that turns heads, very reliable. A car you can be very proud of. Highly recommended for car enthusiast who are stuck in the compact car income bracket.

Great car for the money

I have a 2013 Dart SXT/ Rallye and I have to say that I am very happy with this car. The 8.4 U Connect Stereo is great! I wish it had just a little more umph at the bottom end. Once the car is rolling is goes along great! The interior is very stylish and comfortable. I am 6'1 and I am comfortable driving it. I've read unhappy reviews from a few but who can please everyone? For me I love my Dart and would recommend it to anyone looking for a very stylish and practical vehicle.

PLEASE! Do not buy one

I bought a 2013 dodge dart sxt new, on june 13,2013. Within 4000 miles, I had bent struts, bent wheels and blown sidewalls on khumo tires. Mind you, I am 62 years old and my days of thrashing cars are over. Any bump I hit sounded like the front end was going to fall off. Dodge refused to cover it. Said it was road hazard. Everything seems to be road hazard to dealers anymore. Had to turn it in to my insurance. $1800. big ones. 3 months later it happened again. I finally dumped the car on march 24,2015 with 7800 miles on it. stick with subarus. you get what you pay for!!

I was dying to get ride of my dart

As someone who wasn't in the market for a car in 2013, but was force to go car shopping when my last cars engine died on me the Dodge Dart seemed like a good option, price and gas mileage wise. Which it was, I suppose. My biggest beef wit the car was comfort, the bucket seats didn't allow me to rest my back fully flat in the seat due to the angle of the head rest. I'm a 6 foot man and long trips, or traffic jams became difficult. The back seats were also very uncomfortable for passengers. Other then comfort issues my 1st year was pretty solid. After a year I had a few tecincal issues. Sunroof button would stop working, navi screen would go black for days at a time, battery died, climate control stopped working and stood stuck on high heat! I also had to replace the two front tries. 1 due to a bubble and the other one poped due to a bubble. I'm just traded in my dart for a 2025 chysler200s, hope I have better luck

Great car no complaints!

I bought my 2013 Dart SXT 2.0 in July 2013 and have racked up 50K already. This is my commuter car, and I have no complaints. While the car looks like a sports car, it is not and should not be driven that way. I have had no problems of any kind with the Dart. It is definitely a warm weather car though. If the temperature is above 50 I can consistently get 38-39 mpg hwy, but if the temp drops below 32 I only get around 33-34 mpg hwy. Other than that I get the oil changed and tires rotated every 5K. Great little car for the money, but you have to drive it like it's a commuter and not a Challenger!

Great for the money but you get what you pay for

I leased a 2013 SXT with the Turbo option. First off, I would like to say that the power is definitely not an issue. I love the feel of the duel stage clutch. It definitely makes driving a lot more interesting. The seats are extremely comfortable. After living in two different apartment complexes the car is dented pretty decently. I have never had a car dent so easily in my life! I haven't even had it two years and I have 4 really good door dents. I am not a careless driver, and I don't park just anywhere. I feel like its a magnet! I have always had heavy cars (98 mustang, 89 BMW 5 series) so it is just shocking to have a car that dents so easily! The other big problem I had was with the bluetooth. I went into the dealership many times to complain and they blamed my iPhone! After all the wheel controls started completely dying when I would have trouble with the bluetooth they decided to change out the thing that receives the bluetooth. I haven't had much problem since. As I said in the title, great car for the money, but you really do get what you pay for. Now, to get some paintless dent repair..

2013 Dodge Dart Rallye

This car is amazing. Quite frankly for the price, it's easily one the best options for people looking to get a lot of car for the money. It handles well, looks great, feels great and gets great gas mileage. There's nothing I don't like so far about this car.
