Dodge's Dart Hits It's Target

2013 Dodge Dart SXT 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
29 of 29 people found this review helpful

I purchased the 2013 Dodge Dart SXT for $16,500. Considering all it's features, I found it to be a tremendous value that competitors would be hard-pressed to beat, especially domestic makers. The car is agile, very responsive, solid, and offers a very smooth and pleasant ride. Dodge's compact has now returned to it's sleek aerodynamic roots, offering a bit of flare and enough customization options to make it more personal. Expected features like power windows and locks were very welcome on this vehicle, and unexpected amenities like an auto dimming rear mirror and illuminated cup holders were a pleasant surprise which made it more a value altogether. Definitely a great first car.

Why the Dart is underrated

The Dodge Dart is a highly underrated new car. I own an SXT 1.4 Turbo manual six speed. At 7,000 miles it has had NO glitches. The power, which most reviewers seem to complain about, is awesome considering it's mileage averages. Yes, it's heavy. That's why it's comfortable on highways and longer trips - UNLIKE some of the lightweight competition which brag about better zero to 60 times. What are we? Kids on a playground at recess? Third grade? Actually, a lot of people DO drive like they are in third grade, so I guess it makes sense. Compared to literal HORROR STORIES like those told by Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ owners - my Dart is a DREAM COME TRUE . Come on people.

Dodge Dart SXT Honest Review

I bought this car back in 2016 with 6,600 miles and it now has 17,500. I have had no problems with the car besides one small flaw. It seems whenever the weather changes drastically the wiring glitches. A couple of times my airbag lights would come on only to turn off after a few minutes of driving. This only happened when the weather shifted over night. I live in Chicago and this is my daily driver. I had no problems in the rain or snow. I have also driven this car on plenty of road trips between 100-300 miles trips, not once an issue. I do not know what people are saying about noise or shaking around 70mph because I had to issues and my average highway speed is 90. Highest I went was 96 and still no issues. I routinely inspect my car and change the oil myself every 3,000 miles. It seems to me people do not know how to properly maintain their vehicles. The MPG is great, on highways I would record the mpg on trips. I easily hit between 31-34 mpg on trips which is great, about $25-30 to fill from E. My Dart is an automatic with no touchscreen. A very basic SXT, but I do not need anything else. No complaints on the driving, the acceleration may feel lagged but it is a 4 cylinder small sedan. That's what you are buying, not a rt charger. It gets me from point A to point B. The brakes are very well, numerous times I would have to brake and the ABS kicked in and stopped pretty fast. I've had some people complain about the back seats not having a lot of room, but most of my passengers are 6+ ft so I would expect that in a small little sedan. I am 6'02 and I have no problem with the room, easily an average sized male can fit into this car. My suggestion is test drive the car, if you like it then buy it. When I was looking for a car I had no intentions of buying this car until I sat in the driver seat. Instantly I wanted it. If you have doubts then do not buy it. You buy a car that you like and are happy with. Buying a car is always a chance. There is problems with every company and every car they make, not one is perfect. So far im liking my purchase, if anything for some reason does happen I will sure update this ASAP Update: Still no problems, the traction control light would come on and I took it in and there was a recall with a vacuum hose that actually ended up being the problem. Cost me nothing and was fixed within an hour.

What a car!

I've only had the car a week but I'm so impressed. For the money, you can't beat it. Its sexy inside and out. I love driving it. The 1.4 L turbo is awesome. I have the dual clutch auto and it makes the drive really fun. Get the uconnect 8.4" display. It's really intuitive and makes the car fun and comfortable. The ride and handling is great, the gas mileage and power is great. My only regret is not having the power seats with lumbar adjustment. Other than that, it's amazing. LED tail lamps, projector head lamps, upscale interior, 17" rims, awesome power and milage... buy the car, It will shatter your perception of compacts. This is a daily driver that makes the ride exciting.

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

Purchased July19th, 2014 (yes, was new and "lost" on the inventory at dealership). Had 100 miles on odometer, at 500 miles, transmission would not engage in turning lane, hobbled home, Tow #1(reflashed ECU). At 1100 miles, transmission would not engage and could not back out of garage, Tow #2, (replaced shifting pistons/actuator assembly). At 1655, transmission would not engage after stopping for coffee, Tow #3(found corroded ground terminals). At 1950, trans would not engage, Tow #4 (now replacing transmission). California has Lemon Law, I am using it...too bad. So towed 4 times before first car payment!
