This little 6speed manual transmission car is soooo fast! It's roomy enough for a family and sporty as well. Plus the gas mileage is amazing!

It's an ending to an era writing this; I bought the 2016 Dodge Dart SXT 2.4L brand new (most likely for too much) and it's been my protage ever since. I took care of it and it took care of me. I am trading it in this weekend at almost 140,000 miles for two reasons - I want to get another vehicle that is under 100,000 for a hopeful 5 more years of driving and two, the main reason for the 3 stars: the Airbag Control Module malfunctioned. I'm understanding, let's replace it. Dodge no longer makes it, several dealerships can't help me out, and I went through Mopar to get static from their customer service department for months with "we'll have your service manager reach out to you". It's an important part, without it, the airbags will not deploy, making it a possible death trap. Mileage is great, averages 30-32mpg over the years. Averaging about 29 now with 95% highway. Drivability was always great, never felt any issues. Over the past year, probably just over 100,000 miles, the Dart started being picky for when it would start up. There have been countless times when it would continue to turn over but not start. I replaced the fuel pump twice (just in case the new one was faulty, ended up just putting the original back in) replaced another part that eludes me now (wasn't the issue either), alternator, battery, and starter all checked and good. No idea. It'll be somebody else's puzzle to figure out. Check engine light comes on every now and then for an emissions issue, hasn't effected anything that I've noticed. Only other mechanical issue that is ongoing is the rough vibration of the engine. Maybe the poor thing is about to bite it. R.I.P. Odysseus, it was real, and it was was fun, but it was not real fun.

Drove it til the wheels got knocked off.

I bought this car used in 2017. It only had 3,000 miles on it. By the time the deer took her out for good last month, she had almost 200k on it. Aside from the check engine light being on since about 30k, and the shifter recall issue (yes, mine broke,) I had exactly zero mechanical problems out of her the entire 6 years I owned her. The bluetooth connection was wonky, but I dealt with that. Folks rib on Dodges, especially the little cheap ones. But car shopping now is making me want to cry. If you're looking at a used Dart in this year model, mine really held out til the bitter end.

Beware of Dodge Dart using oil

I bought a 2016 Dodge Dart and after having a year it started cutting off when went to make stop. We checked battery and replaced it and next morning same thing. So I contacted dealer and they told me it was two quarts low on oil and it’s safety feature to stop. So we continue to have an oil consumption test at dealer and they said every 1500 miles I will need add quart of oil. This engine uses oil. They can’t tell me where it’s going, why it’s using it nothing just need keep eye on oil.
