2016 Dodge Dart SXT Sport Rallye 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

Note: Trim shown above is incorrect. The car in this review has 2.4L (not 2.0L) engine and automatic transmission (not manual); review page won't let me change it. I searched the internet for weeks for the least expensive car that had navigation for my son's first car (he will be moving away for college and I personally love navigation to reduce concern about getting lost). Came down to two cars: 2016 Dodge Dart and 2016 Mazda 3 (both 4 door sedans). Although the Mazda was a nice car, the Dodge Dart was much more stylish and comfortable. The SXT Rallye trim had exterior racing stripes and both my sons shouted "It's a race car!" when they saw it and I couldn't back out of buying the car at that point. The price was VERY good. But when we looked the car over, it had a damaged rocker panel (caved under for about a foot or more in length - looked like it had been in a crash and the car wound up riding a guard rail). The dealership offered me $400 off OR they would have it repaired; I asked them to repair it; they subcontracted it out to a body shop in Mobile, AL and unbelievably, it looks brand new again. Then the dealership only gave us one blade key with zero key fobs. There was no way to enter the car (after being locked) without the alarm going off. After about twenty phone calls and two weeks of arguing and aggravation, the dealership finally agreed to provide us two proper key fobs. That work was done by another subcontractor who claimed that many dealerships are commonly trying to rip used car buyers off and not provide 2 fobs - and he was making a fortune resolving those issues. Ultimately, we are now very happy with the car. My son loves it. It's only got a 4 cylinder engine so I'm not concerned he's going to wind up wrapped around a pole. The interior is very stylish. The seats are REALLY comfortable (fabric). Navigation (remember, the main reason) works well, although not as well as our 2014 Honda Odyssey nav. If you are patient, sometimes you can find a gem. Update: 6 months later - still love the car, no problems, no issues, still has new car smell. Black color REALLY shows pollen, minor nuisance not the car's fault. Would definitely recommend to others as a first car.

2016 Dodge Dart GT Sport 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6M)

I owned a Dodge Charger RT and a Dodge Challenger RT before buying this Dodge Dart GT. I bought it because I needed something that would do better in bad weather and get better gas mileage. It took some getting used to as far as the power difference but the car has plenty of power for it's vehicle class. I enjoy driving the car. It has great response and braking and is easy to get around in. I was happily surprised at how well it handles snow and ice. The car I bought is fully loaded and it certainly has everything that I need as far as technology goes. I have had no problems with the car at all and I am very happy with this purchase.

Make sure you get a very good warranty for the brand does not stand behind you on repairs, and as everyone knows it going to break after the warranty. Its very expensive to fix this car.

Not What I Expected From Dodge...

2016 Dodge Dart Turbo 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
9 of 14 people found this review helpful
Being only 22 years old, this was the first car I have purchased brand new in 2017 as a 2016 leftover model. I purchased the car to be a dependable daily driver for my one hour commute to work everyday. I loved the look of the car, the 6-speed standard transmission, and deal I thought I got. I am a car and truck enthusiast and I am no stranger to working on vehicles. I have also been driving a standard transmission vehicle since I am 15 and I am a reasonable driver. I was very impressed with the car on my test drive for only having the 1.4L 4 cylinder engine and knew I wanted to take this car home. Bad idea. After three weeks of owning the car the interior already started to rattle and hasn't stopped yet, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. About a month a half into owning the car, third gear started to "hiccup" during my acceleration, of course the dealer "couldn't duplicate it" when testing it. At 20,000 miles on the factory tires were so choppy I had to put four brand new tires on. At the same time, my brakes also started fluttering as if the rotors were warped. All the dealer could tell me was the tires were bad AT 20,000 MILES! And also that my brakes were fine. After putting 4 brand new tires on, at about 25,000 miles I began to hear a light screeching sound coming from the front left wheel, kind of like a bearing starting to wear and I have such a bad vibration in the steering over 70MPH that my commute home on the highway is torture. I am currently just under 30,000 miles and am NOT looking forward to what else is to come. I am disappointed with the acceleration with the car now, as it is not like it was the first day I brought it home. When I open the door when its bitter cold out my dash lights flicker and the gauge pods act up. Not to mention the resale on this car is worthless. I am not the kind of guy to complain like this or bad mouth Dodge as I have sworn by them since before I could sit behind the wheel. But I am absolutely positively regretful I purchased this car. It has its benefits that I truly do enjoy, but after dealing with issues I should see until well after 50,000-100,000 miles, I can honestly say I made a mistake buying this car. It is truly a blessing they stopped making this cars.
