Just completed the first 1000 miles with no problems. Fast, great looking in the Citrus Peel Pearl and black crome wheels and the now standard Racetrack LED taillamps in the Ralleye. Love the tuned dula exhaust. The trbo climes the PA hills with no problems with power to spare and the 38 MPG is great. Lots of fun for a good price. Dodge has a winner. marysdart

2013 Dodge Dart Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

This car is a joy to drive. The interior is amazingly comfortable and comes loaded with great tech. Performance is pretty good and overall the driving experience very fun. We have the 2.4 Liter engine with the 6 speed automatic transmission and feel like, for a practical commuter car, it's pretty zippy. After driving this car for two years I still thoroughly enjoy it. When I drive other cars (rentals, family cars, etc.) I find myself missing the little things on the Dart. For example, when you turn the engine off, there's a minute long delay when you can continue to listen to music, operate the windows, etc. That's a really nice touch. Everything just makes sense and is convenient. I feel like they spent a lot of time thinking about driver convenience...they even have a pen clip in the glove box! I love my Dart.

I have had my Aero since December 2013. I test drove almost everything in the class but settled on the Aero manual 6 spd 1.4L turbo based on price, options and fuel economy. This car is fun to drive, handles great, and gets better than advertised mileage. I have almost 20,000 on the car now and have taken it on several long road trips. The seats are comfy, the power is great even on the highway, and it is a real treat to drive on mountain roads. I can't understand the C rating here. For the last week I have also been driving a 2014 Corolla S and I can't stand it. The Dart has more pickup, better mileage and handling, and more room. All for about 4k less. Update: I now have about 50k on the odometer and have done everything from city driving to long road trips. I got a recall notice from Dodge to replace the clutch master cylinder due to some internal part problem affecting the 2014 model. I did experience this and will have the work done. But other than that the car is still a thrill to drive, gets great highway mileage, usually about 42-43 by dash monitor, which has been +/- 0.5 mpg compared to fuel and miles calculations so generally reliable. I've gotten as high as 46 mpg between LA and San Diego on a drive with no traffic. The car remains a pleasure to drive. The handling and braking are confident and the acceleration on the road with the turbo is both fun and useful. The gearing and the small displacement means you won't be winning any quarter mile races as a start from dead stop is slow, but at speeds when you need power it really shines and literally leaps when you hit the accelerator or downshift. I have rented many cars in the last year that would be considered competitors such as corolla, elantra, sentra. When in those, I wish I was back in my Dart. The Dart seating is more comfortable, the driving experience is much more sporty and satisfying. Update2: Getting the master cylinder replace put a lot more response into the transmission. It took a while to get it in and by the time the issue was showing up. Completely repaired by the recall. Tires needed replacing and I put some quality all-season Kumho Ecsta 4XII tires on and that made the handling in tight turns even better. I have kept up with scheduled maintenance such as spark plug replacement, etc. My son now has the car at college, and when I visit, I use the car and want it back. My regular car is a Charger, so saying I miss a small displacement ralley car is significant.

Had to have TCM reprogrammed and replaced several times, transaxle seal replaced, transmission valve body replaced. Still have issues with the transmission. Currently, reverse does not work and the car can barely go over 40 mph. The car has been at the dealer more than 5 times now for transmission problems. I wish I never bought this death trap. Starting a lemon law claim with Chrysler. Hopefully they offer a 100% buy back like I've seen a few other customers report.
Well Worth It

PROs - Has a sportsy kind of look - Impressively fuel efficient. I range from 6.6 L/100 KM (15.2 KM per L) in the summer to 7.5 L/100 km (13.3 KM per L) in the winter. - Reasonably reliable. At 115k kms, have only needed 1 repair replacing coolant reservoir. - Altogether, good bang for the buck CONS - Not overly good for winter. Frequently come across times in the winter when windows are too frozen to go down and gas lock doesn't feel like opening. - Power unfavourably low. Using 100 km/hr highways cost more gas per km than city streets because with low power it has to work harder to maintain that speed. 80km/hr highways only uses about 5L/100KM though. Altogether, if I could go back and rechoose whether to buy it, I would still buy it.
