Dodge Dart

Dodge re-entered the small-car market in 2012 with the all-new Dart. The compact sedan, produced through 2016, stands out from the crowd with its handsome styling and sporty nature. The latter is due largely to the fact that the Dart shares its underpinnings with the spry European-market Alfa Romeo Giulietta, including its available 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which delivers spirited acceleration and commendable fuel economy, especially when equipped with the available manual transmission. The Dart also boasts a roomier interior than many of its rivals. However, the Dart also has a few drawbacks to consider. One is its base 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which some find disappointing in both performance and inefficiency. Another is interior refinement, which isn't as sharp as the leaders in its class.
