Don’t drive in the rain

This car had 4 recalls in the first 2 years I owned it, it was terrible to drive in the rain I almost died hydroplaning several times. The Bluetooth never wanted to work half the time, the parts on the car we’re all cheap generic crappy ones, I had to replace the battery once a year, the shifter broke off in the first year and I was on a road trip and had to drive 100 miles only being able to drive in forward. Paint chipped easily, seat’s stained easily, it’s so low to the ground every dip scrapes the bottom and if you pull to close to the sidewalk lawd be with you. Horrible car!!

I love my car

I have had this car for about 3 years- I love it. I have never had an issue with it - and I drive plenty. It's comfortable, dependable and I like the way it looks.

Was looking for a good commuter car

So far so good, has a few small issues with dings and dents but drives very well. Didn't get a manual or a spare buy for the price am quite happy.

Wish it had more power is my only real complaint

I really like the car in general. Have had numerous compliments on the looks and am very impressed with the instrument placement in the cockpit. Handles outstanding ..it really is fun to drive which is important if you think about it

Traded in my compass for this

So after looking at another vehicle and wanting to trade in my 2013 compass (transmission issues) we were informed that the Jeep had 2 safety recalls and we weren’t able to trade it in at that dealer so we went straight to dodge and while looking around fount the 16 dart gt LOADED for a great price (31000 miles for 15000) we were able to trade in the compass and now me and my wife argue (in a friendly way) on who’s driving the dart and that’s really saying something because I’m a truck man myself and never even drove the compass if I didn’t have too definitely get one it’s awsome and fast as all get out

Worst buy

I’m on my third engine. This car is a complete lemon. Bought two years ago for $25,000 now worth $7,000 for a fully loaded limited.

Decent car - worth the price

This is a decent car for the price. It's basic and has been reliable for the two years I've had it. The basic warranty is only 36,000/3 year. The warranty is the only thing I would want changed for this car.

Lots of room for a small car!

This car gets great gas mileage, has plenty of room, and is still sporty looking for a four door car. We love everything about this car!

Fun to drive

This car is fun to drive, it gets great gas mileage and runs smooth down the road. For as long as I've owned the car I've only had to put minor things on it like new tires and a new battery.
