The Dart is finally gone!
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!

Recently rented this car for two weeks
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 tried them both
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 enjoyed owning it
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.

Looks aren’t everything
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 .
