2016 Dodge Dart consumer reviews

Least reliable car I've ever had. The team assured that it was to be an easy fix. But, not so- in less than a week, the car returned to the shop via towing.

I was looking for a new car and thought that the Dart's were pretty cool and sporty looking vehicles. The only thing that I didn't like was that many of them have the "auto-stick" and I was looking for a 6-speed manual transmission. I got put in a regular dart with the auto-stick and didn't particularly want it. The dealer I went through found me the 6-speed manual, and it is an AMAZING car. Fast, Sporty, Comfortable. I'd buy another one.

Now that these cars are being closed out ( no 2017 models ) there are good bargains available for a nice general purpose vehicle. Folding rear seat allows some hauling with the car. Good features and decent styling. 2.0L engine is somewhat underpowered but 2.4L is peppy. Drive both before you select the 2.0L engine!

Nice car, all features I was looking for. Good style, good inside room. Plenty of power with good gas mpg. Very happy with it and would recommend.

I have only had the car for about 9 months. It runs great on the highway and in the city. I have not had any problems with the car. I enjoy driving it.

I have previously had two other Dodge vehicles, and was introduced to the Dart by a good friend of mine. I got to test drive a 2014 when they came out, and I instantly knew that I wanted one. When I found out that this specific car was for sale at a nearby dealership three years later, I took the initiative, and went to go check it out. I ended up buying it, and I am absolutely over the moon happy with it. I look forward to having this car for a long time (and enjoying my heated front seats!)

Nice sized car with good cargo space and drives smooth. it is really affordable without losing too many features!

Sporty looking and fun to drive. Comfortable seats for long hauls. Good on fuel. Great power to weight ratio. Great handling in all weather when running right tires for the weather.

This car replaces a 2014 Dart, purchased new, that started burning oil at about 5000 miles, after its second oil change. A LOT of oil. As in, a quart every 500 miles or so. And it had to have the main body computer changed as well. And the rear defroster was defective. After another 6000 miles, trips to the dealer every two weeks or so, they finally agreed that there was probably a problem. The manufacturer put out a service bulletin that one quart every 1000 miles is acceptable in a new car. Really?!? I didn't buy a brand-new car to have to go out every few days, rain or shine, winter or road construction (I live in Illinois) and check the oil. So, we ate the loss and traded for a new 2016. At about 5000 miles, and again, after the second oil change, it's burning oil. Not nearly as bad, but that's not why I bought a new car. Here's the kicker. Like most newer cars, the oil filter is dealer only. That means, because the oil that they use is not available in regular retail stores, that you have to take it to the dealer every time you need to add! And yes, every drop of oil in both cars was either from the factory or the dealer. Also, the voice command is hit-or-miss and the Blue Tooth drops connection fairly regularly, and it makes me regret buying. Shame, as this would other wise be exactly the car that I wanted. It seems that between the fact that they didn't have any cars with decent gas mileage since they dropped their last small car and put this one into production, (8 years?) and the advertising and incentives that they run, that they just don't want to make small, efficient cars. I'm not a troll. I've been a fanboy since the days of disco, and it really breaks my heart that this car has been so much trouble. (Our last one from this company had issues, as well.) But, if they don't want to make good, efficient cars, then I guess that they don't want my future business.
