Great car with features not seen on a car this cheap
by Broodn on February 2, 2013
Pros: Lots of features, roomy on the inside sporty on the outside.
Cons: I can't think of any right now

Summary: I have the Rallye with the 2.0 liter engine I haven't had any the lag that the turbo supposedly has. The car runs great for what I use it for commuting to work. I wasn't looking for a car that goes 0-60 in 2 seconds. I plan on driving this on a road with a speed limit with other drivers who can barely go the speed limit plus wanted something good gas. Overall I love the car I paid under $20,000 an got a lot of features that only come in luxury cars costing twice as much.

Best economic car of 2013!
by firehawk3 on May 1, 2013
Pros: Excellent interior and exterior design, exhaust note, comfort, 1.4L engine is sporty, MPGs!
Cons: Bit of turbo lag, but nothing a few mods won't fix.

Summary: If you're looking for a cheap, economic vehicle, this is it. I own a Rallye with the 1.4L manual and get about 30 mpg combined with a lead foot. This car puts a smile on my face every morning and makes driving enjoyable (for an economy car at least). Dodge came back with a winner in the most competitivecar segment in the US. I love my Dart!

Terrible Engine; Great Looks
by savagefamily on December 29, 2012
Pros: Exterior and interior is awesome. Dodge did a great job luring people into the dart by looks alone.
Cons: Engine is horrible. 1.4l Turbo has major flaws and needs an engineer that actually knows what they are doing. Dodge engineers are clueless and show signs of total incompetency. I would wait until 2014 or later until Dodge gets a clue.
Summary: Engine runs rough, hesitation, major backfires and turbo lag.Under cold conditions, the car jerks when turbo is engaged. Dodge was trying to rewrite their image but I cannot stress ...

Summary: Engine runs rough, hesitation, major backfires and turbo lag.Under cold conditions, the car jerks when turbo is engaged. Dodge was trying to rewrite their image but I cannot stress enough that they are baiting you in with this car. The car looks great but the engine performs like a P.O.S. We drove the Chevy Cruze and the interior wasn't as nice but the performance is much better. I would go with the Chevy Cruze until Dodge fixes the Dart engine problems. We are regretting our purchase.
