    I've owned this for 2 years and here's what I'll say.
    Anyone who says it doesn't have good reliability, does not know how to properly drive a car.
    The brakes and handling have literally saved my life twice because of how responsive it can be.
    You can get up to 28 mpg city.
    Interior is my favorite part.
    It's just lovely to drive for what it is.

      Hector O I heard a while ago they were considering it. They primarily use red in the Dodge products and blue in the Chrysler products. I'm a big fan of red and I owned a 2013 Dart and the red looked sick in that car at night! I also had a black and red interior so it matched perfectly even though it was a white exterior. It was a Rallye though so it had the blacked out headlamps, grille, and even the 17" hyperblack wheels so the whole package really worked.

      New off the line (while they still made them) the Dart GT was only 6k less than a base Charger. I imagine they'd charge you at least 2k to install the turbo. Plus whatever extra they wanted to toss in, 1k for a wing on the trunk maybe. It would barely be any different.

    Easy car to maintain, good MPG, good handling and nothing to be embarrassed about. If you want a newer model car that is reliable and worth $15,000 of hard work I'd recommend this car. Dodge has Mopar so aftermarket parts are easy to find and are always compatible. Well said review.

    Thanks for reviewing this car and understanding what it is. For the price, you are getting a lot of good equipment! I own a 2013 1.4L turbo car with all of the top tier options and I bought it used for 12k. It has 75,000 miles on it and drives like a brand new car. The ONLY trouble I've ever had was a park position sensor in the transmission. The interior looks incredible and like it has never been sat in. Oh and the stock exhaust note is wonderful. I can hear the turbo spool and re-circ and occasionally the exhaust will crackle with spirited driving. Its not fast but it is a real joy to drive. Its a car with a lot of personality. I believe it is one of the most underrated and underappreciated cars of the day.

    Dodge needs to hurry up and offer an SRT-4 version of this car so it can compete with the Focus ST, Fiesta ST, and Civic Type R or Si Turbo.

      @mhtube01 9 лет назад +1

      Elephant That will be cool, originally we were led to believe that it would happen for 2014 but obviously it didn't. I think Dodge put it off because they wanted to get the Challenger and Charger Hellcat out there in the spotlight for 2015 as well as get the Viper back under the Dodge brand. They've gone under a lot of change recently and I give them credit for the products they've been putting out. Hopefully the Dart SRT is on it's way and if it's anything like it's big brothers but in a smaller package, I'm sure it will be worth the wait!

    • @wiibaron
      @wiibaron 9 лет назад

      mhtube01 I think they are going to make the Dart into the Chrysler 100 next year when they refresh it. And then the Dart will be the hatchback Alfa that we've seen in the spy shots. Then later that year the Avenger RWD will be the mid size that is missing now. They trademarked the Hornet name last year. The best years for FCA have already started rolling. Dart,Cherokee,200 were just the beginning.

    • @mhtube01
      @mhtube01 9 лет назад

      wiibaron I heard about the Chrysler 100 but I was thinking it would share the same chassis and everything as the Dart but probably have a little softer suspension and a Chrysler body of course. However they would keep the Dart around, especially since it's been selling well. I thought they were getting rid of the Avenger for good but if they are bringing back a midsize, the Hornet name could be used for it. They've been doing so well lately so I'm looking forward to seeing where they're going with everything!

    Great review! I own a 2013 Dodge Dart SXT with pretty well all the same options with the leather wheel, automatic/manual trans and the slightly darker Blue Pearl exterior.... I totally love and still feel like I have a new car even though its 3rd birthday for me is coming up in February.......I still get head turns when I drive past in my pride and joy. Mine was in the show room and as I said though its an SXT its optioned up with everything including sunroof. The only thing missing (which I don't miss actually) is the heated seats and dual exhaust.......A perfect car for both city and highway driving.....3 years young in my eyes!

    I was planning on buying a 2015 Ford Focus. A very trusted Service Manager suggested I test drive a Dart SXT Rallye. I did, as well as a Focus, Cruze, Mazda 3, and Toyota. I bought the Dart. This is the first Dodge car I have owned. I have been amazed at the thought that went into this car. There is storage everywhere. Well thought out interior. The 6 speed automatic teamed with the 1.4 turbo has great acceleration. I average 41 MPG on 55 mph highways and 38 on 75 mph highways. Great fuel economy day in and day out. I drive 1500 miles a week so fuel economy and comfort are a must. I like sporty performance as well. I have had true performance cars that did not handle as well as this! It has a very quiet ride even on rough roads. The stock stereo is awesome. It has great traction on slick wet roads even in very heavy downpours. I have had it in light snow once, and it was very surefooted. I have found nothing to criticize in this vehicle. This was the first collaboration between Fiat and Dodge; they did a remarkable job with this car!

    Lol the hate is real on here apparently. I love the dart! I have one and it's been an absolute amazing car. I am part of quite a few car communities and the dart community is huge. It's far more than just another car. Personally I think it's the best car in it's class, as I did test drive all the competition and the Dart stood out over the rest. While sure we aren't pushing ST numbers, or GTI, or SI stock. But there are quite a few vendors out there that can make these things bad ass. The turbo versions share the same engine from the abarth, and with that they can be pushed up to hot hatch and some of those entry level sport cars numbers. And still coming in at a lower price point after all the mods. The styling is great on the upper trims. The sxt with those wheels are awkward, and it doesn't look as aggressive without some of the Mopar parts that are available.Awesome review! If the srt4 Dart is released, which is pushing over STi numbers rumored, then the talk about this car will probably change.

      "Its an American car," It's actually an Italian Car. Fiat has owned Chrysler for a couple of years now. The chassis on the Dart is a modified Alfa Romeo Giulia chassis.

The company is owned by FCA which is a merged company based in The Netherlands comprised of Fiat, Chrysler, Maserati, Ferrari, and Alpha Romeo, as well as some industrial divisions.

    So sad that Dodge is sacking the Dart, I happen to drive one and it isn't bad. People keep making baseless claims(Weak A/C is one, which is totally ridiculous it feels like the ice age is coming out of the dashboard) and if Dodge went on to make it for even more model years I would buy one again. The great thing about the model year system is that it allows improvement and that is certainly something that the Dart is worth.

    Huge fan of the channel so this is all constructive criticism: I know these are press cars, which is a privilege in itself, and companies that give them to you will not continuously give more cars if you bash them but I fee like they can use a little more criticism. Also this isn't a sports car so it's more practical and won't be as many negatives but the only interior negative was that the seats needed more bolstering and it's a little dodge mini sedan. It could just be that the car is actually pretty good on the interior but it could use a little more criticism. Same thing for when you did the Chevy pickup they were like 1 or 2 interior problems. Also I think for every video you should include the base price and price as tested which is super helpful and saves people from looking this stuff up. Sorry for all the negatives just want the channel to grow and be the best it can. Otherwise, great vid and keep up the great work!

    I actually like the Dodge Dart a lot. I test drove the 6 speed manual one and it drove very well. I was surprised at how long the clutch lasted in just coasting mode through the dealership lot and it even got over speed bumps using just the clutch with no gas, which was another very impressive thing about the car. that radio looks like setting and accessing presets might take some getting used to, but I probably won't take long.
    but yes a very good car indeed for the price and body style which I love greatly. I 'm definitely going to put one on my list of manual cars to look at for future buying when my current '05 Sentra starts giving out or gets close to 170,000 miles.

It looks good, drives fun, and the only issue I’ve had was the parking break needs to be tightened up. I have no illusions that it’s a sports car but I did have one incident when driving to the airport in Denver. A deer ran across the road out of nowhere at 80 mph and I had to evade very aggressively. I managed to dodge the deer but in that split second I was afraid we might roll after I straightened it out. Stuck to the road like glue, left, right, back in my lane and stable. There was a semi in front of me and the deer tried to double back while it was crossing and fell down. I think I heard a clatter of hooves hitting my right rear fender but no damage
