My late husband bought this car for me on February 26th 2013 . In the beginning I was taking it in a lot for minor things to the recalls . But every time I got it back the check engine light would come on. I have replaced the tires twice, both headlights and now it only has 40,000 miles on it and the engine has been replaced took them 72 days to replace it. Also had to take it back twice after the engine replacement to get the turbo hose changed and for them to reconnect the AC. And now they have had it again for 4 weeks to replace a hose. From the engine replacement to this hose issue has all been in less than 6 months. Update. I'm still having issues with this car. Now my turbo is acting up

not a compact

First, this is not a compact car. It has more or similar interior room and trunk space as the Honda Accord coupe and the Chevy Malibu. It is a midsized car at a compact car price and with compact car fuel mileage. I almost bought a Focus, but the Dart was better equipped and had more space. The Focus just cannot accommodate adults on a long trip, the Dart can. Anyone who says the Focus interior is superior to the Dart's is blind. I own the SE with the manual, cruise control, and Uconnect. The build quality was excellent, no bad panel gaps, paint, everything worked. I have had it for 10 months, 2 long trips, 9,000 miles, and only oil and filter changes.

I have the Rallye trim with the 1.4L MultiAir and a standard transmission. The styling is amazing and everyday I see it, it puts a smile on my face. The interior further enhances that smile. The exhaust sound is beautiful and turns some heads. While the engine does suffer some lag, once the turbo spools, it gets going! Everything seems solid and sturdy. The Uconnect system is one of the bests! And the best thing about this car: the MPG. Glorious 41 MPGs on highway!

Even if it caught fire

I love this car!! Yes, it did catch fire after a faulty oil change, I lived without it for about 4 months while being repaired, driving everything from a Kia Soul, to Jeep Cherokees, Ford Fiestas and a few other mini cars. But when I got Didi back, I was so happy. She is still going strong with 70,000 miles on it. This car is so under rated and I'm so sad that Dodge isnt making these cars anymore. It drives well in the snow, (living in New England we get a lot of it) whether it be a blizzard or just a light coating. Handles well in heavy rain and of course on a sunny day, it hugs the corners well. We managed to stuff my daughters oversized bean bag chair into the trunk and dragged it to her college. I recently moved and Didi did her part by fitting sporting equipment, china and furniture into her confines. If and i do mean IF Didi shall pass to the junk yard of the sky, I wish I could buy another one because its a great car for the money!
