Dodge Dart

Price $15,995 – $22,995
Fuel consumption 4.8 – 9.1 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 70%(view ratings)
Upon hearing that the Dart was on the Alfa Romeo platform, expectations rose quickly. Unfortunately, something was lost in translation. That said, the extremely rigid Dart chassis demonstrates a lot of potential; let’s hope Dodge will capitalize on its heritage as the interior and standard equipment deserve better. Power is provided by a 2.0L four-cylinder, a 2.4L or a fiery 1.4L turbocharged engine. Available transmissions are six-speed automatic or manual.
