Great Car and Great Gas Mileage

I bought the Dart Rally/SXT and have been amazed of both the high workmanship and features this car has. I replaced a Dodge Avenger because of the poor gas mileage and the Dart has proven to be the right choice. While I am only on the 2nd tank of gas, it is showing (hand Calculated) for mixed driving 33.1 mpg which the Avenger could not even come close to giving me. I love the electronics such as the 8.4 touch screen, voice command.I highly recommend this car to anyone who wants better mpg and looks.

New 2013 Dodge Dart Limited

Finally got my new Dodge Dart and it's been great so far. Took awhile to find the exact Dart I was looking for but my local dealer came through. The car is faultless and runs as good as expected. The interior features are amazing and a pleasure to operate. I have the Limited with the 1.4Ltr Turbo and a 6 speed manual. I have driven it 1000 miles so far and average 32mpg. A fun car to drive that can really drive hard if you want, or can be driven like a little 4 cylinder if you prefer. The electronics in the car are amazing with everything a touch away or a simple voice command to get what you want out of it. The car is well built and very comfortable. I would highly recommend the car to any driver.

Wonderful Vehicle

I have owned many other vehicles in my time and I have to say for the money you spend on this vehicle, it is far above its competitors in gas mileage, speed, comfort, reliability, and all around style. I have received many compliments on the vehicle and I love the gas mileage. Spending $40 a week is a thing of the past. Now I can travel from Ocala, FL to Fort Lauderdale on half a tank of gas, so approximately, $20 in fuel. What other dodge can do that for you? There aren't too many vehicles in the league that this vehicle has made standards for and I am looking forward to years of ownership with this car.

show stopper

2013 Dodge Dart SXT / 2.0 tigershark 12v dohc 4cyl. one of the most stylish cars I have ever driven inside and out! The detailing down to the accented red trim around the main console is flawless. classic dodge gauges coupled with todays technology is a perfect blend . Outside is a seamless body smooth lines that make it alluring and stunning. smooth ride with comfort as its main center piece, including plenty of storage ,including under the passenger seat , nostalgic flare and dodge's retro /new look makes the Dodge Dart a permanent statement of evolution.

DONT DO IT!!!!!

In January of this year I was so excited to be on the road in my first very new car.... boy did I not know what I was in for..... a few short DAYS of having it a clutch sensor went out (NO BIGGIE IF IT WAS THE ONLY ISSUE) then I get it back and a week or two later the whole ENGINE seizes down a river canyon (I had no cell phone service) I had to walk 5 miles to a pay phone only to be told by the service guy you don't have towing (LATER ON I FOUND OUT I DID HE WAS MISINFORMED OF THE PRODUCT HE WAS SELLING) so thank god for AAA, I get my car back after 40 DAYS of it being in the shop.. and Chrysler sends me a life time warranty for my troubles (LITTLE DID I KNOW IN THE FINE PRINT IT STATED I WAS SIGNING AWAY MY LEMON LAW RITES) then I had my car back for 3 DAYS .. only to have my breaks completely fail while exiting the freeway I slid into oncoming traffic but was able to stop the car( with my E break) before I ended up completely in danger way.. I called dodge in tears they said there is an 800 # I can call to receive a tow (KEEP IN MIND THE DEALERSHIP WAS 2 MILES FROM WHERE I BROKE DOWN AT) I was later informed THAT THERE IS NO CLIP MADE FOR A DODGE DARTS BREAKLINE THE MOLDING IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE BREAKLINE UP) Dodge representative told me my breaks would have to remain zip tied because they do not make clips for this car and if I "feel" the zip tie come loose just simply pull it tighter .... and then... I went to take my car through a car wash for the first time and what happens???? water comes seeping in the windshield ... yeah that's rite someone FORGOT to put weather stripping on my car.... now all my dash panel sensors go out periodically ie the clutch, speedometer, gas gauge. so that is my story for now ill let you know if there is more ... oh wait yeah the molding inside the car panel is falling apart and i have been waiting 3 months on the part

LOVE IT!

Have had the Dart Turbo for a little over a month. Love it, fun to drive and wow is it quick. Laugh when getting tailgated off a stop light or out of an intersection. The turbo kicks in and see ya later! Oh, and if I want to take it easy, can get 42 mpg at times. Great looking and love the electronic inside.

Dart Test Drive

Red looks cool. Inside the cabin felt compact with some space. 6 speed manual transmission throttle response was very slow. Shifting sounds are quiet. Unable to feel the road. Low power for a 2.0L.

5 minutes was enough

I had this car for a rental, and after 5 minutes I knew I would NEVER buy one of these cars. It had a very poor driver's position, uncomfortable seats, not enough cup holders, poor fit and finish of parts. The driver side controls are awkward and difficult to locate simple things, such as the trunk, hood, and gas door release. I found acceleration onto the highway to be sluggish. I wanted to return the car to the rental agent and get something else, but it was all they had.

Making the right choice!

Test drove several compact cars and this one beat all of them! We love the comfort, style, Bluetooth and touch screen. Got the CA package and LED taillights! Gas mileage is great so far! No complaints!
