Fun to drive the dart

2014 Dodge Dart Limited 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
54 of 56 people found this review helpful
After comparing a lot of compact sedans, I settled for the 2.4L Dart mainly because it was the only car under 20K offering a 2.4L engine and an auto 6 speed. I was firstly delighted by the standard 8.5" touchscreen control. Absolute pleasure to control music, climate, nav without any distractions. The second thing that I found amazing was the interior cabin space. This C-class compact car almost goes head to head with a D-class sedan. The car has a ride handling that is zippy and fun even though a bit heavy (which is why I feel the mileage is not the best). I've driven 2 5-hr long trips on my Dart since I bought (last 2 months) and I found it to be absolutely delightful.

Seems like the professional reviews on this site and others find some way of knocking the Dart, but I don't see what they are talking about. I researched and shopped extensively (looked at the Veloster, Mazda3, etc.). The Dart, by far, was the best driving experience of any of those. Superb handling, good acceleration with the 2.4, quick braking, and it just feels solid. Interior is high quality and spacious, exterior is beautiful.

I was leasing a '13 Silverado, and it was costing me so much money in gas. I work at a Dodge dealership, and wasn't a big fan of the dart until I saw one with the Blacktop package. It adds the gloss black 18" rims, black mirrors and grille. I had one of our sales guys find me a black one with the 8.4" touchscreen, 500W Alpine system, 6 speed manual, and it looks awesome. The black on black looks so good on this car, and I've gotten tons of compliments on it from random people. Super fun to drive, decent amount of power for what you're paying. Handles great, and I'm averaging around 30MPG.
Great value!

Originally went to check out Chargers but came across the Dodge Dart GT and went for a test drive and totally enjoyed the Dart more!! Plus you got more for the money and a similar equipped Charger was closer to 40k then 30k! So I purchased and have about 2k on it and still enjoy driving it! Heated leather all the way to push button start for under 25k and looks great to boot and gets decent gas mileage!

I bought this car as my first car at 20 years old (two years ago), 45,850 miles on the odometer for out the door price of $11,495. The Blacktop Black trim and details with glossy red paint LOOKS amazing. The first impression is a beautiful exterior that Dodge is known for with entering presenting plentiful of options with the infotainment stack as well as the cluster for climate control. The UConnect is great for presenting various options for sound as well as controlling how the sounds...sound. First impression made, I need this car. Upon owning this vehicle for over two years now, I can say all of what you see is what you'll continue to appreciate and enjoy. What you'll continue to fall in love with over and over is what you feel; the driving experience is amazing with the 2.4L NA engine. The chassis is amazing for a heavy 4D mid-sized sedan. The control is second to none, for the vehicles I've driven, around the whippy corners of northern Arizona and vistas of the valleys in Arizona. You won't dust anyone off the line like a GTI/Evo nor an obvious sports inspired vehicle like a Mustang/Camero but what this car brings is aspiration to those who aren't fiscally inclined to invest over $30,000 MSRP. The reliability of this vehicle leaves a BIIIIIT to imagine, within the purchase year I had to buy a new hi-tech battery (maintenance, it's whatever), front right strut assembly, full new set of tires (more maintenance, no big deal) and more axis/shock issues that cost around $900 outside of dealer shops. The second year brought another worn out set of tires (I don't drive aggressive, the stance and suspension lead to worn tires on the Darts), air cabin replacements (beyond simple maintenance) and then my HVAC system failed in JUNE... IN ARIZONA. The dealerships couldn't figure it out for less than $600 and it ended up being a simple wire near the dash that faulted the ambient temperature sensor to read -40 Fahrenheit. Beyond those issues I love the car but be aware that as those who shop used there may be further issues this 2nd year model Dart may have. In the end, I will hold onto this car as it's unique in comparison to your Corolla you see a thousand times a day, more powerful then many 4D mid sized sedans in the market and it's reliability is on par. [Update] It’s now the end of 2020, I still have this vehicle and besides the issues I listed above...it’s been good. Not great but good. Vehicle still starts up great, still getting good gas mileage and I still love to drive it. I did have to replace the tires (all four) twice more (so that’s 4 sets of tires in 5 years, where I bought them they’re covered under warranty but somehow this thing goes through tires!) and I’ve had two other batteries die before the two year mark (again, covered under warranty). With 109,000 miles on the dash a few things have came up, not with the drivetrain but it’s noticeable. At around 85,000 miles, whenever the engine is turned off sometimes the key fob will get stuck and you can’t take it out of the ignition. This is a known problem, it seems to be some trigger that doesn’t realize the car is in park releasing the teeth that locks the fob in the ignition. A few clicks of the gear lever will sometimes work, other times it’ll be removed immediately after shutting off the engine. It’s weird. Another thing, the UConnect won’t ALWAYS connect my phone automatically. This has been sporadically happening, again...can still drive the vehicle but this model year had a few issues with Bluetooth connection. Other than that, it’s been reliable and just regular maintenance. No REAL big issues *knock on wood, always*.

It is not as easy to find good used car at a great value any more so I finally looked at what around $200 a month could get you in a lease. I wanted something that got around 30 MPG but had some features. I have owned many domestic vehicle as well as Honda Civics. The new Dart is very attractive thus the initial interest. Wow I was surprised at what you get for your money in both the STX & GT models.

So, I am a college student and I drive in LA everyday. I needed a car that got good millage and that was affordable, the dart seemed like a good fit. But, I was completely wrong! So, the car has broken down on me more than 8 times in less than one year. The next day after i bought it, it broke down (No more than 2 driving hours). This car is not reliable and unsafe, I am still under warranty and I have extended warranty, but the dealership rarely does things to fix the car. They have told me to contact Chrysler because the car is a "Lemmon" and it should be red flagged. But after my plea with Chrysler they have denied me a buy back program.
Don't Buy

2014 Dodge Dart GT 2.4L it goes in for repairs about every 3 months for something mostly electrical or failure of some part that was made poorly. IE the instrument cluster, Uconnect system, or window switch not working.

I've had my 2014 Dodge Dart GT for two months. Here's what I know so far. You have to get the most powerful engine you can afford...in fact the Tiger Shark engine with 184 HP is not enough. Should have been 200 HP because the car is heavy. The seat leather is not the best, my driver seat leather is already stretched out and shows wrinkles when I get out of the car. I weigh 175 lb. On my car the AC comes on for no reason, then cuts off. I'll feel cold air for about two minutes ever so often - with the AC in the OFF position. Navigation is great, but the turn by turn volume is too low, can't turn it up. They removed the best part for 2014..the hidden compartment in the passenger seat..come on dodge!! Bluetooth connection to iPhone is awful. USB isn't much better. The uConnect system is awful...no ApplePlay; that would solve everything.

I bought a 2014 dart rally in august 2014. at 13000 miles No problems at all. Runs great gas mileage around 38 to 40. plenty of leg room. I enjoy driving this car. Chrysler has been never ending on the emails to make sure I'm happy with the dart. I would recommend this car to anyone.

I got this car in April of 2016 and within a week the engine light came on and it went to the shop, turns out it had a cracked cylinder wall and the engine had to be replaced and that took a month. About a month later the light came on again and it was for bad o rings, had to get the injectors replaced. two months after that the transmission sensor went bad. Just recently the light came on again and I'm taking it to get fixed today. Thankful for warranty at this point. The climate control buttons do not work in mine either. Other than the numerous problems is has had it is a fun car to drive and is a pretty comfortable ride.

I have a 2014 GT with 30,000 miles and it has been/is a fun, great small car that is not so small in comparison to some midsized cars. The 2.4 is a solid and reliable four that is a touch rough but has good response and decent gas mileage. I find it far more sporting and fun to fling through twisty curves ( thanks to is Alfa chases and suspension). A great replacement for the old Neon and not given time to grow in popularity...A shame the plug was pulled. Update: at 45,000 miles, the clutch died and had to replace. Seems the Fiat/Alfa-Romeo 6-Speed manuals are not known for longevity. But no other issues.

A Worthy Commuter Car

I bought my 2014 GT (pitch black with hyper black wheels, automatic transmission,) new in April of 2014 and over a year and 17000 miles later I have very few, very minor complaints. Overall it's a great car and gets me to work on time with good MPG. Outward visibility is good, but as with most new cars the A and C pillars are quite thick and hard to see around. Thankfully my car has blind spot monitoring which has helped me more than once! The whole infotainment system works exceptionally well. All the menu's are extremely easy to navigate and operate, but the touch sensitivity should be adjustable. More than once I've found myself tapping the same button multiple times trying to get it to register. Navigation, radio controls, climate controls, they're all very user friendly. There are two features that I found annoying. The rain sensing windshield wipers don't work very well. They tend not to be very intuitive and I ended up disabling it. The other feature I dislike is the rear parking sensors. They work very well, but I disabled them because while backing out of my garage they would go insane. Not a fun thing first thing in the morning. Interestingly even after the sensors have been turned off, they still sometimes sporadically work. Sometimes while backing out of a steep driveway the sensors will go off at random. Sometimes they'll sense something extremely far away, something it wouldn't sense if the sensors were turned on. And sometimes they do nothing at all. The other complaint I have is the ride quality. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into when I bought the GT. It rides like a rock in a washer, but that's what it's supposed to do. It corners really well and rides fairly quietly, but due to the terrible roads in my town, the car takes a bit of a beating and I feel most of it too. As a result the plastic panel above the rear view mirror rattles against the windshield and tends to drive me nuts.

I have the 2014 rallye dodge dart. So far I have had VERY few issues. The only proble. I've had didn't stop me from driving. My wheel bearing went out and had to be replaced. After that I haven't had any issues. I've been reading the other reviews about it breaking down at 20,000 miles. Mine is at 39,000 and it is still going strong.

There are not enough characters allowed on this to describe my distain for this vehicle. Engine malfunction light came on in 200 miles. It is a faulting oil pressure sensor, they replaced and the light is still coming on. They are waiting for a software update that they "hope" will fix the problem. Computer sometimes prohibits the car from accelerating over 4000 rpms. No fix. They don't know what is wrong. Again hope for a software fix. This is a real safety concern to me. In cold weather the battery light dings and flashes on the dash annoyingly, again they hope a software updated can fix it.. We are now going through the lemon law process. I refuse to pay over $18k for a broken new car.
If I knew then what I know now...

I bought my 2014 Dodge Dart SXT 2.0 a little over 3 1/2 years ago because I needed a good car to commute about 90 miles a day. I've always thought something was wrong with it because it is all over the road, which is mostly a concrete with little grooves in it. It sways, bumps, rides the grooves in the road constantly. So I buy new tires but that didn't fix it. Then I had new struts put on it, but that seemed to make it worse. Then I had the back shocks replaced. That still didn't fix it. Everybody that has driven it say they don't feel anything wrong. Well, they don't drive 90 miles a day in it. I finally figured out that this car is just too light so I added 100 lbs to it. I put some weight on the back seat floor boards, but most of it in the trunk. I was able to drive it without being bounced all over for a few months. As for any other maintenance, this car is awesome! I had to replace the battery once and regular oil changes. The sound system, blue tooth and UConnect are great. Mine didn't come with a touch screen, which is how I prefer it. It's a little slow to accelerate, but it sure gets great gas mileage. I love my Dodge Dart now that I fixed the problem I was having with it.

2014 Dodge Dart Aero 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I bought a new 2014 Dart Aero with the automatic in May of 2014 and turned out to be a nightmare. In the six months I owned the car, it was in the shop for 2 1/2 months because of the emission control turning on the check engine light and the Active Body Control unit going haywire. The quality of the car is just awful. After 6 months of owning, I traded it for a 2015 Honda Civic. I took a small hit financially because Dodges do not keep any value, but the money pit needed to be out of my driveway. The car had a fantastic little engine that was lively and fuel efficient (46 mpg was my best tank) and great handling for a small sedan. Unfortunately, that is all I can say that was good with the car. The transmission was awful, the plastics creaking on the interior after 600 miles, and the paint chips galore on the front.
Don't buy it!

I have a 2014 SXT and it's a death trap. It shuts down in the middle of the road going above 45 no brakes no gas steering wheel locks. Mine has been in the shop for a month and I got it back today with the same problem. Had the pcm update and has gone down hill from there. Very disappointing.

Bought a 2014 SXT with 22 miles on it. Fast forward to 8/1/2019 and it has over 350,000 miles on it. I've replaced the spark plugs once, break pads once, 3 batteries, head lights, blinkers, and the struts once. Other than normal maintenance that is it. If I wasn't buying a larger car I would buy another Dart.

We originally had a 2013 Ford Focus. We hated it. We took it to Akins Ford Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram, in Winder Ga. We traded it in and they hooked us up with the 2014 Dodge Dart Ralley. We have been nothing but impressed! There are some minor things that could be changed, but overall it was a great choice. We recommend it to anyone looking for a small but powerful (with the 2.4 liter) car!

I purchased my cute and sporty bright orange 2014 2.4L Dodge Dart in 2016 and I was ecstatic! It had a 3 year or 30k mile warranty on it so I was excited to finally get into something reliable with a warrant (I’d been driving beaters with/without heaters for years) It had a small issue the second day I had it and I should have taken that as a sign. *DING* - park light out. It reminded be every 3 minutes that I drove that this light was out (super annoying). Through the warranty I had a few minor issues pop up but they were all taken care of so I didn’t really pay attention. As soon as the warranty expired around the 2 1/2 year mark, it all went down hill. I had the main screen shutting off constantly or locking up so I couldn’t even control the volume or heat. It hop in on a warm spring morning (cool the night before) with heat and music blasting and the inability to turn it off. This was “reset” and “fixed” several times through out my ownership of the vehicle. Almost 4 years into owning it I got a recall slip to “reconfigure” some engine component. It was consuming 1-1 1/2 quarts of oil between changes because something was programmed wrong. By the time I was able to get to the positive side of the loan and trade it in I had a bible of repairs. Shocks, struts, 5 sets of new tires, radiator, coolant reservoir x2, radiator hoses (which had to be specially cut and fit because they no longer sell that specific hose), all lugs nuts and tire sensors replaced (two of the tires sensors were replaced twice), O2 sensors, a headlight bulb that cost me $180 (the bulb melted to the connector and they no longer sell the connectors… had to buy a whole new headlight assembly) and various other small issues, reprogramming issues and leaks that needed to be addressed. I seriously wouldn’t recommend this vehicle to my worst enemy. In 6 years I put over $10,000 into repairs that wasn’t “regular” maintenance and I was know by name and as a regular in two dealerships service centers and another shop. If I hadn’t have been so upside down in my loan I would have ran years ago. I’m finally free of my little Pumpkin and I have never felt so at ease. If you’re thinking of buying a Dodge Dart - RUN the other way!

Good performance but not great comfort. The steering wheel did tilt but not far enough. It was right in my eyes view which was very annoying. The arm rest was too far away so as I was driving my arm was hanging in the air.
