2015 Dodge Dart GT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6M)
54 of 55 people found this review helpful
In the sea of compact sedans, the Dart GT stands out. It's very nice to look at, definitely not your cookie-cutter import. I honestly don't understand the criticism of the car in general. The car never feels under powered, the shifts are crisp and positive. The handling and brakes are very good for a front wheel drive car. My only complaint was the OEM tires which were overly harsh and really a poor match for this chassis. Once replaced, you now have a firm riding, quite and comfortable car, but not harsh or jarring. What you have is a quick, sharp and fun drive that is inexpensive to own and operate. Good value for money. Update at 34k miles - Aside from Interior rattles, which are quite annoying, still a solid workhorse and fun to drive package. Perhaps the firm suspension contributes to the rattles, but they are quite annoying when the cabin is gold. Still happy with the car, just annoyed at that aspect.

One thing you need to keep in mind, I have bought the manual transmission so it is sportier. However the 2.0L could have a little more kick. The voice control is poor, as i had to take it back the day after I bought it (guess anyone can get a faulty unit though) to replace the uconnect. The car drives great and fuel efficiency is great on the highway but could need improvement on city streets (29.8 mpg combined for me, 37 hwy, 24-25 city). Pros: - Great car for the money - Great Safety features - Great factory speakers - nice adjustability of seats - Awesome cargo space - Good on hwy gas Cons: - somewhat slow takeoff - Uconnect issues - instrumentation can be slightly confusing I just bought this car, so the review may still get changed.

Retired as an ASE advanced level master tech of over 40 years. Bought my 2015 Dart 2.4 brand new & have 94k on it now. This car has been for the most part extremely reliable, & is still really tight through out. Bang for the buck, it is the best value out there, & the best reliable car I ever owned Only complaint is the manual front seats for adjustability,, other than that, no complaints. The 2.4 with the 6 speed auto is awesome. Update 10/20/23. Did a trans service @ 74k, & rear wheel bearings @ 78k.. Factory rear wheel bearings are a joke & went bad,, as they are only sealed on one side,, & didn't hve much greese. Replaced with high quality Moogs & packed well with greese. They are very easy to replace. New NGK Iridium spark plugs @ 79k,, & Brembo brake pads all 4 corners @ 86k. Also 4 Falken ZE950 tires @ 85k.. The performance ''top shelf'' A/S tires & brake pads make the car handle ,ride,, & brake,, better than new !! New battery also @ 93k. Pretty much just normal maintenance stuff,, & most originals lasted a reasonable amount of time. Did also replace the drivers master window switch assy,, which takes about 2 minutes,, & cost only around 23 bucks for an aftermarket off flea bay.. Also replaced the RR power locking assy,, which I think got messed up from the dealer when they took the door parts off when doing warrenty paint work,, while it was still under warrenty.. Will be putting it up for sale in the next couple of years,, as we are going full time RV,, & will need a Ram Duelly,, to tow the 5th wheel. Still a great rust free every day driver, & steller bang for the buck !! Chrysler should of never discontinued them,, & still see them on te road everywhere.. I Update per edmunds request 4/21/24.. Still going strong ''like new'' ,, @ 98k now !! Just about time for an oil service & rotate.

I am writing this review after owning the car for over 6 months. Also just found out Dodge is discontinuing this car. Which to me, is very sad. I bought this car as a daily driver (parking my 09 Challenger RT). I was amazed by the features, feel, tech, acceleration, looks...pretty much everything about this car. I have NO idea why it is getting such a bad wrap. I get compliments on it all the time (just as much as my Challenger). I am a 6ft 1 guy, and they seats are very comfortable to me. I also have 3 children, and they fit in the car fine. Trunk space is awesome. I have the 2.4L SXT with everything minus the leather. Black 18inch alloys, and the car is Dark Grey.

I recently purchased my 2015 Dodge Dart GT as a replacement for my old commuter, a 2006 Mazda6. So far, I have not regretted it in the slightest; it is an upgrade in almost every way. As a 6'7", 250lb man coming from a mid-size sedan, the switch to a compact had me worried. I am the kind of person to do as much research as possible before a purchase like this, but for my particular circumstances there is really no alternative to actually going to the dealership and test driving the car. I am pleased to report that this is the first sedan I have ever been able to sit completely upright in, without hitting my head on anything. My particular vehicle was purchased in 2016, but as a 2015 model I had to take what I could get since I was shopping for a manual, and this car just happened to have a sunroof. That only adds to my headroom, and the cut-out from the room (even with the sunroof closed) adds an extra inch or two for those 'even-extra' extra headroom needing people. As far as legroom, I positioned my chair in a comfortable driving position, then moved to the backseat, and was able to fit behind myself! In a Compact Sedan! If you are a large person, you will understand how impressive this is. Headroom is a bit tight in the rear seats, but the legroom truely impressed me. My personal needs aside, this is a fantastic car. The 2.4 engine in the GT and SXT is extremely competetive for this size car, and with many other larger cars as well. It is a somewhat heavy compact, but the GT holds its weight well. It corners -very- flat, and can pull out of corners with almost no back end feedback. If you're in for a more leasurely roll down the country roads, the GT suspension may be a little more stiff than people are used to, but it is hardly the toughest I've driven. The clutch is smooth and responsive, and if you can aptly shift inside the power band, it will have no trouble finding and keeping revs with you. In my opinion, the interior is the best in the class. For under 20k, You have leather everywhere. Seats, Steering wheel, Console, everything is well built and has no wiggle or give. The doors close solidly and you feel extremely safe inside the cabin. Visibility is high, even from my vantage point at the ceiling, and backing up is a smooth breeze (even without the backup camera). I feel that interiors are an extremely personal opinion kind of thing, but that is mine. After a lot of research with engines, and considering I was restricting myself to a manual transmission, I test drove a Mazda3, Chevy Cruze, and this Dodge Dart. There was little feeling of competition. I have been through many brands of cars in my (relatively short) life. This car is so good that I feel like I may turn into a Dodge man.

I did my research before buying this car I saw another ebattery would go out and fail. A family member had the same dart at around 20,000 his battery went out at 15,000 mine went out as well. Not a huge deal only 100 bucks for a battery. Car has been working fine but the electrical will do some odd things. I’m not sure why but my USB port will not let me play music through it, it will charge my phone but it’s will skip songs randomly. I just got a remote start on my car which wen I start it it works fine but once I get in and turn the key to the position it’s suppose to be the car will die which is not suppose to happen ? Then start up fine? Sometimes when my boyfriend was driving it he said the screen display would reset and all the electrical would die and come back on while driving. So I’m not sure what electrical is wrong with it but I got this car at a great price and so far hasn’t caused to much concern

I purchased this car May 2015. I have 32,000 miles and have had to put it in the shop at least three times for the engine shutting off while driving. Just last week the car died again and had to sit there and wait to start again. I have had to replace the battery already this year. I was getting 24mpg and now down to 22mpg. The car is sluggish when you try to push the pedal to go, do not dare to pull out in front of a on coming car unless the car is at least a mile back!! Spoke with a mechanic (son's friend) and he states that it would have something to do with the transmission. Also, last oil change was told that my fuel injection need to be cleaned. I am so tired of buying cars that constantly have problems. I have never own a dodge and am so irritated that this car is an American car and this is what America sells. The air is loud and also when I am on the phone the person I am speaking with can here the background noise of the car. It is not well built, but America does not build to last anymore.

I recently purchased a brand new Dart SE with the 2.0l engine. I work in the automotive field and have driven plenty of vehicles. I love my Dodge Dart and I'm a big Ford guy, but I did not like the Focus as much as I love this Dart. Edmunds has their "expert" review all wrong. I drove all trim levels and the base model with the automatic does perfectly well. I even replaced the terrible Kumho tires with Bridgestone Driveguard's because there is no spare. Inside the Dart is very comfy, stereo is great, HVAC controls are nice and easy, Engine Power is from the 2.0 is good and the transmission shifts perfect. I have been averaging 35mph on the highway at 70mph and I drive 600+ miles a week
Buying this car is like rolling the dice!

I am writing this on behalf of my son who just bought a new Dodge Dart. He has owned it for 3 months and it has been in 2 Dodge dealerships service departments for approximately 2 of the 3 months. The engine will randomly shut off while in motion. I could not believe this until I googled the problem and read several of the online blogs. There are numerous Dart owners who's engine just shuts off. When the car gets low on oil the engine shuts off, except the engine has plenty of oil. Is it an electrical problem? NO ONE KNOWS!!! Do not buy this car!!! I am going to help my son get rid of this car. Someone is going to get killed!

This review will come across as confused. I love the look of my 2015 Dodge Dart SE auto with Rallye Package (auto option was not available in this review page). The car is comfortable, rides very well, and is quiet. The stylish exterior belies its performance. Handling is adequate for a 4-door sedan. The suspension springs are too soft to qualify this car as a sport sedan. The acceleration with this 2.0L auto is lethargic. Six speeds is too many. The transmission is always shifting trying to find the perfect gear ratio. One would think that would help fuel economy, but it doesn't. 99% of my driving is city driving and I am averaging just 22 mpg. You'd think with a 2.0L, 4-cylinder, MPG would be better. This is probably attributed the car's heft. The one good thing about the Dodge Dart is that it is cheap. With generous incentives and a well negotiated price, I purchased my car new for just over $15,000. I needed a cheap 4-door sedan, and this seemed the best option for a new vehicle.

My engine and many others I talk to had to be replaced at 50,000 miles. 3 batteries in 3.5 years. Transmission shifter cable replaced at 40,000. This car literally started breaking down at 20,000 miles. 6 tows into dealer in 3.5 years. Dodge has definately messed up on this one. And I'm a Dodge fan. But it's no longer reliable after 40,000 miles. Right out of warrenty it starts with problems. Horrible in my eyes. Just horrible

I purchased a 2015 Dodge Dart in February 2016. I purchased the car for around $16-$17k from shelor motor mile. I've had issues since 17,000 miles . My car cuts off while driving and steering locks up. It does the following randomly: - stalls out -wont go in gears -pops out of gears -wont come out of gears -lights go dim on the dash -the car lights and dash screen blink sometimes like they were shut off and cut back on. This car caused me an accident and ticket! I paid to have the clutch replaced $1500 in parts. When it was in the shop I called the dealer and told them I also needed my transmission fixed and that I would need to bring them my car from 460Auto. I told Shelors the cars transmission needed fixed is what the test said that 460 Auto preformed. The dealership said they couldn't see me for 12 days. I asked for a rental and was denied. I asked for them to look at it and get me in a rental even if they couldn't start working on it yet. Then they told me no I'd have to wait 12 days and just "deal with it". I tried for days to get a better resolution. I was hung up on and laughed at. Then forced to drive it so I could go to work. Then the day before it was supposed to go to the shop it broke down. I had to pay for a tow truck because the dealership would not. I got the car to the dealership and had to authorize a $95 payment while they looked at my car. Then they finally admitted I was right my transmission needed fixed. They put me in a rental for 10 days and said they would call with updates. Then they never called so I called them. Bobby said "we have to order parts" I asked what parts and the said "I'll call you back with that information I don't have it". Then he never called back so I called again. Bobby called back with once again little information. I had lots of questions he couldn't answer so he said he'd call me back. Once again he didn't. Not untill the day before my rental agreement would terminate. He told me to come by and that if the cars done it'll be ready and he'd call and let me know. He said if not just go ahead and come in because we have to update your rental. So when I came in I got my car and I was told I could drive it but would need another clutch "probably". Mind you he was not sure!! I told him the clutch in it was 12 days old when I brought the car in. He then said the same thing and admitted he was unsure what all the issues were. So I got my car and on my way home I realize it will not go in 5th or 6th. I called the dealership and they said oh yeah the "shifter is broken" I said oh how? When? Why? They told me it was broken but not when. I asked why they did not fix it and they said it was not covered under my warranty. Even though the shifter was not broken. When it was taken in. I ended up getting a lawyer after several attempts to resolve the situation. My car is a lemon people. It is just down right unfixable. So now my lawyer is pushing for a new car and settlement. Shelor employees laughed at me when I was confused and frustrated. I lost a good paying job because of this car! Now I'm waiting for a resolution and the car broke down again. I went out yesterday and it just wouldn't start. I checked the fuses and they look fine. I dont have tools to check the spark plugs. I can hear the cars engin an battery try to start up. I tried jumping it to see if maybe the battery was the problem. It was low on gas so I put more in. Fluids are fine. I don't understand why this car breaks down every time I turn around. I have spent around $5k in repairs. This car is horrible!

2015 Dodge Dart GT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6M)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful
The fuel mileage is excellent provided that the car is accelerated gently; therefore, although equipped with the larger 2.4L engine, the car feels sluggish when accelerating (it is heavy for its size). With the 6-speed manual transmission, I tend to upshift at approximately 2,500 RPM which yields 26 MPG city, 35 MPG highway, combined 30 MPG. Under ideal conditions, I have exceeded 38 MPG highway. Since I do drive conservatively, I never have exceeded about 3,500 RPM. In the 18 months I have owned the Dart it has been completely trouble-free – no rattles or loose trim; no “new car” adjustments. The only services have been oil changes. The clutch engages rather suddenly; despite my previous car also having a manual transmission, it took me quite a while to adjust to this. The interior room is adequate for me, but not great. I have the driver’s seat adjusted nearly all the way up and all the way back, which results in the non-height-adjustable rearview mirror blocking my forward vision to the right. Since I do have the driver’s seat set high and back, the door/roof headroom when entering or exiting does require caution to avoid a “dented head.” I cannot comment on the entertainment system, as I never use it. I wanted the GPS, which I use frequently. The backup camera and side traffic warning detection are superb. I am delighted to have the availability of the selectable analog/digital speedometer; I use digital exclusively as I find it much easier to see quickly. I purchased the Dart after its discontinuation, so I was aware of the effect on its resale value. I was seeking a four-door vehicle with a manual transmission with many options. If the Dart were still available, it is likely I would have bought another; for me, the positives far exceed the qualities I dislike.

Overpriced hot garbage

2015 Dodge Dart Aero 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful
I picked up this hot mess about three years ago, completely new (30 miles on the odometer). After leaving the dealership, the car overheated and shut down on me before I even made it home. I called the dealership, and was given some nonsense about how that was "totally normal" on new cars while the fluids worked their way through the new car. It sounded like nonsense, but it was also the first new car I'd ever bought. A few months later, the car overheated and shut down again in San Francisco in traffic. I took it in to be looked at, but nobody could find anything wrong with it. The car drives like absolute garbage, and always downshifts at random times. So even though you aren't going with any speed, the car revs up like you're a moron trying to drive a stick shift but don't know how - but it's an automatic transmission. This last weekend on the way back from Vegas, the check engine light comes on and I'm getting an error code related to poorly done turbo system. Now I have to figure out a way to get the car to the dealership - AGAIN - on a car with <25,000 miles on it. From the moment I got this car, I've wanted to set the stupid thing on fire and roll it down a hill. I will never EVER buy another godawful Dodge vehicle again.

looks great, but not a quality car. Cheap plastic interior parts. The car had a super stiff ride. Car also developed a vibration at freeway speeds. New tire's, balancing did not correct the issue. Many better choices. You can find them cheap though. I sold mine after a year of ownership. There is a reason they don't make them anymore. Also.. the 2.4l tiger shark consumes oil, so you better keep an eye on the dipstick. Uses way too much

We purchased our Dodge Dart with 23 miles on it, with 250 miles on it in the shop with service engine light on and 2 error codes on the transmission. If we have trouble with it with this few miles how reliable would it be in the long run?Last time I will ever buy a Dodge product.

Do Not purchase a Dodge Dart ever! We bought brand new, changed transmission at 16 k miles and had numerous issues. Just traded it away for a new Jeep Cherokee and what a difference. The car would randomly shut off on my wife and had a significant engine issue with the cooling system. Speakers broke at 100 miles. I have never seen such a piece of junk. Please don't go through what we did. Thank God the dealership backed us because of all the issues we had and helped us out of this situation. I wouldn't drive a Dart to the grocery store for free. These people that have left other negative reviews are not making this up. They are correct!

I rented this car for two weeks. I thought the seats were very comfortable, and it was easy to get in and out of the car. Overall I was quite impressed with the car. It was spacious, the trunk held all of my and my daughter's luggage with room to spare. And our luggage tests the limits of the checked and carry-on dimensions. The controls were simple and easy to figure out, the mirrors were easily adjustable, and the ride was smooth. The car was not afraid to go very fast on the highway. I was shocked to see how fast I was going (over 100) at one point because it was gliding over the road so smoothly. I had to set the cruise control to keep myself in check. The only negative things I can say is that it is slow to respond if you want to rapidly increase your speed. But for a four cylinder it is more than acceptable. And the car has such a low clearance that it kept scraping on the pavement. I live in the Rockies and no matter how slow I entered and exited my driveway, it scraped. And no matter how slow I creeped through intersections in neighborhoods, it scraped.

I have tried the base SXT as a rental and own the GT. The first thing that I can tell you is that there is a difference. The GT feels more solid on the road and the steering is more responsive. My GT only has 15k on it and has so far been trouble free with one small exception. The idiot light came on for a minor recall and I ended up taking a day off from work for a minor tweaking that could have waited. I have not demanded much of my Dart having parked it in the winters and kept hot dogging to a minimum, so I am a poor candidate for telling you about reliability, but so far so good. What I can tell you is that getting into the dealership is a nightmare with waits of many weeks for service. Due to the poor performance of the service department I am giving the Dodge Dart 3 stars on what would otherwise be a 4 star car I have put another 12,000 miles on the car since my previous comments and have some evolving opinions starting with engine valve train. This car is amazing, now that I have had some time to take this car out on the open road the Tiger Shark Engine is an absolute beauty. At an idle the Tiger Shark idles passively like any other gutless wonder, but you get out on the highway and the valve train modulates for high lift long duration and the car becomes a throaty beast, at least as far as 4 cylinder engines go. Onboard systems are reporting an average of over 28 mpg on a 500 mile trip across the state, in spite of maintaining speeds ranging from 75-100 mph. I have no mechanical defects or inoperative systems to report. Nothing new to report 30k miles. Shop was in and out with the tune up, still reliable.

I’ve had my Dart for about two years now, and I’ve taken it on several road trips and a lot of in town driving. Basically, it’s a very good car. Didn't need maintenance often except for the tire pressure running low all the time. Any day that was somewhat chilly (I live in New Mexico so it's not cold here) and the pressure light would come on, which got frustrating after getting it taken care of every month. Over all though, it was a great car, especially for the price. I traded it in for an SUV just because I wanted something bigger but I would go back to the Dart if I were to get a car again. My biggest complaint is just that the A/C is very weak. I wouldn't recommend this car if you live somewhere really hot or if you really hate the heat, like I do.

I do not recommend this car what so ever ! I am currently paying so much for a 2015 dart & the engine light has turned on so many damn times & I bought this garbage car NEW . It’s ridiculous and honestly regret this purchase , a brand new car should not be having all these issues .

Just bought a 2015 Dart Limited with every option available for 2015 for $7000 off MSRP. Put 500 miles on it in 4 days. I didn't give 5 stars because there is always room for improvement. The gas mileage not so great in city. and back seat is cramped. My last Dodge was a 1974 Charger 400 Magnum w/pistol grip 4- speed. But the Dart feels like a luxury car. You will have a difficult time finding a car equipped like it for under 19K

Ok so for starters this car wasn't my first choice. I previously owned a 2008 V6 Ford Mustang and it was great while it lasted but unfortunately it was it's time with over 140,000 + miles on it. I was in need of a car because that was my only transportation at the time. I ended up buying the base model Dodge dart with the black top package. In my opinion it definitely has the looks it's a great looking car and a good size not too big or small. Especially how everything is black on black and also has tint so it looks awesome. But I was kind of bummed that I didn't receive the black rims instead I received the charcoal colored wheels. The interior is nice, good materials nothing really cheap looking it looks good inside and out. But now the bad parts! Well first the control stick was frustrating when I test drove it I didn't pay any attention to the fact that their is only one control stick on the left side of the wheel. It was annoying but I eventually got used to it. The biggest problem the TRANSMISSION! Wow the transmission is awful but I should have known coming from Chrysler that this would be an issue. The car jerks at times when I slow down or excellerate. It shakes pretty bad right in between the process of stopping and excelleration. When I start the car it shakes when Parked. And the dealers answer for this was that the car is "warming up". Very very poor excelleration but once it gets to a certain rpm its decent. It has this horrible lag when you try to speed up. And the answer I received for this and the shaking and jerking was "the computer is trying to learn your driving habits" that's bull dodge! I have had transmission issues with my mustang before so I know exactly what a bad transmission feels like. And now I'm proven right. Just recently saw articles saying 2013,14, and 15 models are being recalled for faulty transmission surprise surprise! And the gas mileage for being a 4 cylinder isn't all that great definitely not what they promise anyways. I regret getting this car but I'm stuck with it at least for a bit. I would avoid it just don't bother please don't make the same mistake I did.

2015 Dodge Dart Aero 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
2 of 3 people found this review helpful
When I bought this car, it seemed nice. Traded in a 2010 Dodge Charger because I wanted better gas mileage and safer winter driving (it was rear-wheel drive - in Denver CO). I agree with the review where take-off is sluggish and 6 gears are too many - like it can't decide which gear to be in and the drive can be choppy. I complained to the dealer about the poor take-off acceleration and he said it is to save gas. It's like the car is telling ME when I should go. Very frustrating. Once it gets going over 35-40 mph, it does do very nicely, handles nice, and is relatively quiet for a small car. The turbo is great. The air conditioner has a cheapy fan sound that is inherent in Darts per the dealer, and the brakes are always squealing, which two dealers say is due to the metal they are now using, but "it helps it stop on a dime". I just have to "keep the brake dust power-washed off", which I would have to do every other day. They say it's on all cars after 2005, but I don't hear other people's car's brakes squealing as I drive. The Aero is rated at 32 mpg city and I get about 27. Not the gas savings I was expecting. As I drive stop-and-go a lot, this car is VERY frustrating to drive - I am constantly telling it to "GO!" when I give it gas from a stop and hills are worst. But, on the open road, I did get 53 avg mpg! But, I am on my 3rd check engine light since 2500 miles (car now has 4700) and they can't find the problem because of how complicated they've made everything. I would run this car off a cliff if I could. I have had Dodges for 20 years since I worked for Chrysler at one time but I'm done now. This is NOT a worthy replacement for the Neon and I wish I had my Charger back!

Death Trap

The 2.4L engine is a oil consuming death trap. No new car should burn almost 5 quarts of oil. Apparently if your oil get too low the car will shut completely down. Doesn't matter if you are going down the road at 70mph or at a stop sign. Then it can take up to 10 plus minutes to restart. Do your research on this piece of crap before buying.

I bought by 15 Dart 4 years ago with 36k on it. I am a delivery driver, and the car had 175k on it when I decided to get a new car. Same engine, same transmission. A lot of stop and go city traffic, as well as highway miles from delivering. Thing was an absolute tank. I may have gotten lucky, who knows? Two things - lots of electrical issues. Radio won't work most times (the entire console won't even turn on). That happened at about 120k miles. Dealership had no ideas on how to fix if. It also tells me the parking light is out, at least once a week. But there's nothing out, I've checked. The other thing is the oil issue that other people have complained about. It's very true. Take it from someone who had at least 20+ oil changes into the car- it will absolutely stall if the oil is low. A huge issue if you're blocking traffic. It's extremely annoying. Also- the car is low to the ground. I scraped constantly. That got annoying fast. Overall, loved the car dearly. Mechanically, a beast. However, I am looking forward to having a radio that works again.

I’ve had this car for 6 years now. Has 86000 miles and I use it as my daily driver. I’ve had no issues with it until about 4 months ago. The car started stalling in the middle of the road. I changed my battery and my alternator only to find out my oil was low and that’s why my car was stalling. Now it’s electrical issue one after the other. My dash lights flicker. The radio turns on and off and the power steering goes in and out. This is only the most recent issue after fixing a issue with the fuse box and with the air conditioning controls. After talking with several people they have all mentioned the same issues with their dodge darts.

I got one (SE model) recently and I love it. The first trip I took is right after I bought it and it was a 320 mile trip to western New York. Fun to drive! It's got the 2.0L engine, with a manual transmission, and the review that says acceleration can be sluggish is right on. The back window defroster isn't as strong as the other cars I've owned. After scraping the window some ice forms while driving in between the lines of electricity. Not the best cold weather vehicle. Although, the heat for the cabin is excellent. It gets too warm quickly and I have to dial the heat back significantly. They asked me to update my review and it still stands. Love the car! It has the convenience package and the rear stabilizer bar and traction control can be felt as the car hugs the road at highway speeds around curves. The stereo is great. Great sound with four speakers. The seats are not the most comfortable in the front, I haven't sat in the back. It has an oil monitor, gas monitor that tells you how many miles you have left in the tank, tire monitor for tire pressure, and other features I haven't activated yet. It's been too cold to do any of the things like the bluetooth connection.

Some redeeming features but think twice

2015 Dodge Dart Limited 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
2 of 6 people found this review helpful
Got a chance to rent one of these, and since my daughter will be looking for something used soonish for a first car, I thought why not try it? Nut shell summary -some stand out features, but would not buy or rent again. Cars should be made to be driven as job 1, not just looked at or sat in. The good? Appearance was nice in my eyes. And, the interior was not low rent by any means. Soft touch material and mostly decent switch gear feel? Check. Logical control layout? Check. Seats were okay, but not great. Still, given the price point? Color me impressed. A few quirks to note here which kept the rating being higher in these areas. 1) Front seats needs to go lower. While I can fit... I have to recline the seat and doing so blocks the speedometer. So I can either fit comfortably, or not see my speedometer between 50 and maybe around 80. Tilting/telescoping wheel hopefully is an option, so check if you are a all torso kind of guy like me. 2) Glare off gauge panel. Given the rest of the interior quality, the lack of a (more?) reduced glare gauge cluster covering seems a noticeable omission. Not 'can't read it' bad, but still quite annoying when the light glare hits it. And, the mostly not so good. With the exception of steering, which really does hit the mark for this sort of car, driving dynamics were pretty bad. So the steering first. Somewhat lose on center but with good, but not too much road feel. Tracks well, not too much effort at any speed. Pretty much exactly what the doctor order for daily driver sort of car and maybe more. However, the engine was buzzy and lacked any ommph over 45 for the first few days Had to hammer it to even get up to passing speed in any reasonable time. After a few days the TCU and engine eventually 'learned' that when I applied gas I truly madly deeply did want it at least _try_ to move faster than a dodering great grandma. Still even then, it remained rather poor, but at least not almost dangerously so, as was my experience the first few days with it. Engine noise and vibration were a constant unwelcome companion, especially at idle. Even the dash liner would visibly vibrate at times. If Dodge had not put so much effort into the interior it would have been buzzing like my old '78 Malibu did when it was cold. This is the lowest level of NVH refinement of any other car I have driven or ridden in in the last decade, or possibly two, which is quite a few cars from all price points. Brakes may have had a warping issue on this car so read as such, and not as directly critical of the car model. The rears gave a distinctive 'whrrr whhrr' when backing down my driveway. I had to stop quickly once, and they actually clunked and the car lurched a bit while stopping fast. I assume this is not normal for a Dart, and did let the rental agency know. I would however worry about a car that did have brake issues as early as this, even for a rental. My adivce? Try some emergency stops and braking while backing down a hill to be sure if you are test driving one. Suspension. On smooth even pavement it was fine, and even a good ride. However, anything else gave varying degrees of jittery and busy. Absolutely no confidence in trying anything beyond '20% pushing it' in this car. Given the brakes, and lack of oomph, that was probably for the better. Still a suspension should not communicate that it wants to take the car in all sorts of directions you are not steering in on anything but good pavement. If you live in an area of crappy roads like I do, make sure to try it out first and see for yourself if it suits. Fairly obviously, I have no idea if it corners fairly flat / has body roll, was not even tempted to try it. In short? VW, Mazda, Ford, Nissan, Honda, Subaru, Hyundai, GM... All seem to have better cars in this price range/category from a driving perspective.

I purchased a 2015 Dodge dart a year and a half ago. So far I have had to replace the front axles, front and rear shocks. It burns oil like crazy. car will shut off and wont start because there is no oil in engine. I spend 20 a week on just oil for the car alone. I drive it a lot for work and is really annoying that it keeps turning off and not starting. I also own a 2004 Nissan and have no issues with this car and its a lot older. I will never buy another dodge again. I cant trade it in because the dealers I took it to offered me around 3000 for it I owe 13000 on it. So unfortunately I am stuck with a piece of crap till its paid off. Not a very Happy person.

Key fob won't go to "off" and doesn't release key

Bought my 2015 Dodge Fart in Apr 2020. Key fob wont go to off position so I can remove key. Took to dealership that said since it didn't generate a code he couldn't didn't know what was wrong. Found a Youtube video about this problem and showed him. So, since the problem doesn't generate a code Dodge database doesn't have any other complaints like thus listed. Dealership said it might be switch or might be shifter but that I should figure around $500 + dollars either way. Obviously Dodge doesn't track problems that don't generate codes. Also, it it sputs like fuel filter is clogged. Found out that fuel pump is under the back seat. So far so good by using Seafoam. UPDATE: The fob not turning off was fixed by finding a Youtube video posted by a mechanic that shows how you can take the shifter cover off and push on a button that gets stuck. I had to do this a few times but now when it gets stuck I just have to wait a minute or two, wiggle the shifter and you can hear a click then the fob can turn to the off position. You would think that this would be wider knowledge but again, if no code is generated then Dodge mechanics don't think the problem exists. For the dogging out issue, I add seafoam whenever needed and use only mid grade or premium. If I put regular grade in the car it revolts!
Be careful of you expectations when buying a used.

This car had a engine light on when we started it. It was very dirty (caked up dirt) as if it has been sitting for over a year without driving. We test drove anyway and the vehicle shakes when idling and also make a loud grinding sound when turning right while driving. This same dealership had 2 more used cars we test drove and all of them had some major problems when driven. Make sure you TEST DRIVE and do a CAR FAX before you buy used.

Loved how sporty the car drove during the test drive but after just a week of owning the car (purchased brand new) it was in the shop for overheating problems. A month later it was in the shop again for overheating problems and now for a third time its in the shop for overheating and lack of acceleration. Definitely not a good experience with Dodge thus far...back to Toyota I go!

Where to begin. This thing is utter trash. If GM had shame they would have never released this thing. Repairs are very expensive and overly complicated with no reason other than what can only be surmised as bad faith intent by the company to prevent home repairs and even shop repairs are difficult and overly expensive. Nothing but an oil burner with engine and mechanical issues. Burns oil regularly which most darts do due to improper machining and computer (they just swapped a 2014 ECM into a 2015 model which has different operating specs). Avoid at all cost. I would say the Pinto was far superior a design even including the risk of death. This car makes an excellent lawn orniment

It's 2021 and I now have 25k~ miles on it. It has been very reliable. I never had any malfunction with the GT model. Just regular synthetic oil changes. It drives very well. Feels very balanced on the road and doesn't sway, heavy and fun to drive with stick. Gas mileage has been 23mpg/avg mostly non-highway mileage. Dodge quit making them supposedly because the cost to make them was rather high and they couldn't sell them for high enough margin to compete with other 4-cylinder market.
