The fantastic Dodge dart.
The Dodge dart is a great car. In between luxury and sport. It looks great. It has a large trunk. Great features. The backseat could be a little bit bigger. Never mattered before but I have an infant now so I definitely notice how little space there is back there.

Dodge dart, controls are versatile. And it also handles well on bad roads.
My dodge dart has been a great vehicle. It came with backup camera and Sirius radio. It has radio control touch screen and climate touch screen. It also has dials for doing this. Then we have controls on sides of steering column for radio controls- and you can also change stations by saying the station you want with voice control. This car has automatic and shift for transmission!

This car is reliable and it lets you know what issues you are having on the dash.
My car is a midsize, four door sedan that is very reliable. The only issue that I have with my vehicle is that it is a 4-cylinder. Besides that, I really enjoy my Dart.
accountCircle Jason R
I love the stow and go feature.
My van has a view cosmetic problems that really are not too big of a worry. The only worry that I have is how quickly the window motors are dying. Also, the factory battery didn't last very long at all.
accountCircle Daisy S
I love the Bluetooth feature.
My car rattles a lot and sometimes the dashboard resets, but other than I love everything about it. The seats are weather and they warm up. The steering wheel warms up. The stereo sound is amazing, good quality. The seats are very comfortable. I love all the features that this car has.

Very comfortable and spacious sedan!
Very comfortable, it is very reliable. I chose my car that had a sunroof and a back up camera and I love them both. The backup camera comes up on a screen that is touch censored and I love it. Drove it from south Carolina to Florida and it drove great! I would so recommend this car to any one.

Great car! Do not have any complaints! Would highly recommend for anyone!
Love it! Great gas mileage! Drove all the way from Missouri to Oregon, no problems. Love the Bluetooth capabilities! Great trunk space! Fits 5 people comfortably! Good sound system. Nice sleek charcoal candy paint job. Gets up and goes, pretty quick! Takes turns very well!

Why you should buy a dodge dart'.
Always knew this was the first car I wanted to buy on my own. Very reliable, very efficient vehicle. Also love the sleek and slim design. Never had any serious issues and maintenance is very reasonable. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, affordable sedan. Go out and buy a dart today!

The dart is definitely poorly thought of.
There is an extreme lag when pushing the gas. The alignment goes out constantly and have already had to replace the axles twice. The car rattled and is poor when coming to managing gas being used. The room inside the car is small and is great except the radio constantly has issues.
accountCircle Denise C
Car is bad. The only thing good about it is that it runs.
Mechanical problems. The battery was bad. Brakes are always bad. Check engine light is on and won't turn off no matter what. Cold start rough idle. The car is an overall nightmare. Sensors on the car are bad. The car is not good for people to drive. I hate it.

DO NOT BUY THE 2.4l OPTION
Do not purchase the 2.4l. From factory they are known to consume oil. Some may not do it from the start, but eventually they will consume oil and shut off on you, even while driving. Also, the clutch master cylinder in the 6-speed manual tends to go out as well.

2015 dodge dart review from me
I do not like my vehicle because the RPMs stick there is a constant problem the check engine light is always going on the oil has gotten Sledge. Up just a lot of different issues and it really is not worth the headache. The comfort of the vehicle is ok and the technology in it is great. But the vehicle and under the hood is junk
accountCircle Taylor W
I can look up my mileage, how many miles I have left, and other things!
We haven't had any problems with this vehicle yet! We love that it is a 4 door sedan (kid friendly) and how comfortable it is to ride in. Gas mileage is awesome! We drive back and forth a lot for family reasons and it always gets us home with at least half a tank to spare!
accountCircle Herbert H
The Dodge Dart is a good economy car, don't expect more than that.
The Dodge Dart is a car the appeals to men in my demographic because it is an aggressive looking econo car. It is very reliable but there is one major flaw. Its grossly underpowered.
accountCircle Becca B
2015 dodge dart honest review. Coming from a dodge loving girl.
I had a lot of problems with this car and I bought it brand new off the lot. The thermostat was replaced twice, my sunroof needed to be replaced, it had a recall, and also needed engine valves replaced. None of those problems were caused by me and almost all happened within the first few months of owning the car. Overall spacious and good looking car but I had an awful experience.

Alternator
I purchased my dart in 2015 and have no issues until last year when it shut off without warning leaving me stranded 7 hours away from home 6/2018. I was lucky enough to find a great repair shop and it was the alternator in which completely drained my battery. Oct 29th,2019 my daughter was on an interstate and the dash lit up with battery indicator and the one light after another until the car completely stopped. Luckily she was close to our exit however stopped in the middle of a busy exit ramp. Thankfully she was not injured while in the middle while cars flew by. Car towed home, we started it today for a few short seconds and it didn’t it again until complete shut off as the battery is completely drained again. This issue is so dangerous for drivers and yet no recall has been issue. I’ve purchased dodge vehicles for the last 17 years and only 2 vehicles have given me issues and my Jeep Liberty left me stranded and poof no good and recall was finally issued years later for the transmission/motor.

Decent Commuter Appliance
Bought my 2015 used in 2016 at 13k miles. It's now early 2022 and it's at 110k miles. Repairs have mostly been minor, 3 wheel hubs, 2 calipers (rears) and interior pieces. Engine and transmission have performed with almost no issue. I had a misfire one day that resulted in a lot of exhaust smoke but disconnecting the battery and letting it sit a while fixed the issue, that occurred at around 23k miles and hasn't shown up again The 2.4l engine did consume some oil but a recall was done to reflash the pcm, time will tell if it really fixes it but I monitor the oil levels every one in a while. The car is very slow for its class, it's heavy and the motor doesn't help regardless of the engine/transmission combo you get, the people here saying thus car is fast is embarrassing. The car isn't bad for what it is and the features help keep you comfortable. Remote start and heated seats help a lot in the winter. Consumables like brake pads, rotors, oil filters, air filters, etc are easy to find and replace at a decent price so maintenance has been good. The car drives fine, I haven't modified it and it drives great. As depreciation has hit this model hard, I'm likely to drive it until it fails or a major expensive part needs replacing. I like it for what it is to me, a dependable car that has given me few issues in 6 years of ownership.

Current recall of this and many other dodge darts.
The car has a recall and I have had to have it in the shop for the last week. Other than that, the car is spacious, fun, and very easy to drive. I just wouldn't say it is reliable just yet because I just got this car about 4 months ago and I have already had to put it in the shop which makes me worry about the overall safety of the car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Chris R.

The pros is it gets good gas mileage, it is small, and so far it seems to be dependable, does not require a lot of maintenance. Somewhat roomy on the inside for being a small car, was very affordable when I bought it.

likeFilled Katie S.

Newer, readily available parts. Easy to care for. Easy to navigate controls. Sporty. Adequate space for single or couple with small children. Good gas mileage. Good trunk space. Compact but roomy. Comfortable to drive and sit in for long road trips.

likeFilled Breanna S.

The gas mileage is great. It has amazing bass. The steering radius is really good. The seats are comfortable and there's plenty of trunk space. It drives well in most weather. It tells you exactly how much air is in each tire and your exact oil life.

likeFilled Violet B.

The gas mileage and the spaciousness of the vehicle. Both the gas mileage and the spaciousness are the two main points that I was looking for in a sedan when I was purchasing a car due to my last car not being reliable and only having two doors. Having four doors plus the trunk space is amazing because I am able to have the seats filled with passengers and still have a place for cargo. It also has a huge spare compartment and a built in jack kit.

likeFilled Aaron P.

One thing I really like about this car is that it can be quick if you want it to. I like the fact that there is a lot of room in the trunk for all of your belongings. This car is a six speed automatic which means that it can also switch to manual if you prefer it. The heating and air conditioning works great. It does not take long to heat up in the winter. The looks of the car are very clean making it look nice.

likeFilled Christine F.

I have had no problems, no breakdowns. I can make a 300+ trip on one tank of gas. The price of gas is usually 30 dollars to fill it up. It drives smoothly and makes my trips more comfortable. Also it is a very handsome vehicles.

likeFilled Heather S.

Sporty, rides well, good interior features such as in dash display that is touch screen. It has a huge trunk while also having decent backseat space. Plenty of room for a car seat in the back seat. Nice leather trim.

likeFilled Nolan N.

The dodge dart runs smoothly and quietly. This car is very fuel efficient and we do not waste much money on filling it up often. The color of the car is nice and I really like the vehicles dodge offers.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Chris R.

It does do not do well at all in the winter. Sometimes has a slight delay to it when you accelerate, and probably does not maintain a great trade in value, if you looking for that. The winter driving is the main con of it though.

dislikeFilled Katie S.

Cheap parts that break. Same part breaking and having to be fixed immediately because it affects driving ability. Not suitable for older children, does not handle weight, accelerates slower. Temperamental oil needs. Has been in repair shop at least every three to six months due to some small issue. Rarely expensive issues but extremely inconvenient.

dislikeFilled Breanna S.

So far there haven't been any issues with this vehicle. It doesn't have a backup camera or any safety features on the side mirrors. It wouldn't be the best vehicle to go out in a blizzard or flood. It doesn't have a vacuum built in.

dislikeFilled Violet B.

The only con that I have found of my vehicle is that the Bluetooth capabilities are somewhat slow compared to other vehicles that I have been in. The iPod function is also outdated so that it does not work with the current iPhone and I do not know how to update it.

dislikeFilled Aaron P.

One con is that if you have the AC or heater cranked up super high, the engine is kind of hesitant and works a bit slower. Another issue is the Bluetooth. For a while it was constantly disconnecting but now it works like a charm. The only other issue I have with it is that it is slightly delayed by about 5 seconds.

dislikeFilled Christine F.

With my vehicle, it has no modern upgrades. No GPS or back camera. Also there is no spare tire for the car. Instead the car comes with a pump. I would prefer a tire over a pump. It does not have an automatic starter, which is very helpful on cold days.

dislikeFilled Heather S.

Have had problems with the car losing/burning oil during times of extreme temperature. It has only happened in the winter and in the summer to date but the car will lose oil to the point of cutting off. The oil light never comes on despite it being virtually out of oil. It has happened several times now and I just have to check the oil regularly.

dislikeFilled Nolan N.

While the car is very nice and fuel efficient, the car does not have much room. The trunk is very small as well. When it is filled with groceries the car feels very heavy and low. The car is small all together.

How Reliable Is The 2015 Dodge Dart?

Yes it is very reliable. I have only had one issue with mine in factory. It was replaced and I haven't had a single issue yet.
Hannah K.
Yes the tire sensors seemingly go out very easily. The voice command does not really work. But has been a great work car or a feel good car.

I do believe it is reliable. It has one thing that is been recalled but it is an easy fix. I got heated seats and remote start and both still work great!

Is The 2015 Dodge Dart A Good Value?

It is around $18,000. The cost depreciates very quickly. It has lost $12,000 over 4 years. Not good value but very reliable if you do not plan on selling.
Hannah K.
I got it for 9000 USD and it has certainly held up its value, being one of the most good looking sedans in the market.
Jose M.
Mine cost around $13000 I believe. Which is a decent price in my opinion. I got a great deal with my interest rate!
Heather U.
Brand new with all the back up cameras and all the extra stuff I think it cost $26000. I bought mine pre owned and two years old. I paid $10000 for the basic model.

I bought it used for $9,000. I think it is got good value. This was great for me in high school. Ready for something new now.

It cost me about 14k pre owned. However with finance it has almost doubled. I wouldn't think it is much of a value to my money.
Socorro G.
I got my car used. The process of the car was decent. I believe we paid around $15,000 for the car plus some warranty.
