I had a Dart rental car, I was pleasantly surprised, pretty sporty, nice interior, and zippy as well. If they made a two door I would consider getting one, I am just not a 4 door type of car owner.

idrivemopar - "if they made a two door I would consider getting one." I agree the car looks nice and handles well, but give me a "coupe" please... lol

I've got the 2013 SXT model with the 1.4 Multiair turbo and 6 speed manual gearbox. Has the 17" rims and low profile tires. I love the car. It has some turbo lag but I think it has more to do with the "drive by wire" setup in it.
I posted about the Dart 2 years ago and was "beaten-up" a bit.
But: I think its a great car!

We went and test drove one today,2.4 auto.The car seemed good.But I hated the engine.Seemed like it was always reving.Underpowered.I would guess if I was climbing a canyon it would run out of power.I chose the biggest engine to try and get away from that.Now we also tested a 200 that was loaded.Now I really liked that car.3.6 v6.Just under 300 hp.Good power,smooth,8 or 9 speed trans,I can see a nightmare with that.And the 2015's have a better warranty on the engine than the 2016's.My wife isn't sold on the 200.Not to mention the price.Now let the deliberations begin.

My buddy is a tech at the Chrysler dodge dealership and him and all his coworkers will tell you the dart is the biggest piece of **** Chrysler has ever slapped together. They will all say it's the crappiest car Chrysler ever made. Just saying.
I rented a 200 two years ago. That was a very nice driving car! I was pretty surprised at the power it had with four adults inside. It had a 3.6L, as well. I'd be more interested in a 200, personally. My son is leaning towards the FIAT 500. Those are fun little cars!

Since the 200 was brought into the conversation, I'd have to say the 200 beats the Dart all day long coupe or not. lol
My brother bought one and we bought a Chevy Cruze........ buy a Cruze! I'm a big Mopar guy but the Dart feels and drives like an eco car where the Cruze is an eco car that feels like a mid size car. This is the one car I think Chevy got right.

Not sure about the Cruze my wifes friend bought one had and it has been a piece of crap from the start motor lost oil pressure less than 5k miles engine knocks and vibrates bad ever since. Plus have had a lot of electrical issues.

Better get that Dart or 200 before they stop making them:
