It was the perfect car for people wanted a Charger but couldn’t afford it, was too large a car, was RWD. Dart fixed all those problems. It was such a good car. My back never hurt from the seats! I miss my 2015 Dart GT with every single option including the Mopar body kit

I heard some people say that the Avenger which this replaced was the better car. Dodge just kept it and discontinued the Avenger because the Dart was much newer at the time.

The Dart was killed off in the great American CAFE rules. Same with the Focus, Fiesta, Cruz, Volt, Bolt. They figured out they could skirt the rules with crossovers and purchasing carbon credits to offset the CAFE hit to average MPG.

I'm kinda disappointed that the Dart never got the SRT-4 treatment. Dodge is a performance brand, and they've done a number of affordable performance cars in the past, like the Neon SRT-4 and the Caliber SRT-4. I'm not considering the Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6 because it was essentially a Mercedes Benz SLK 32 AMG underneath. At least something to compete with the Honda Civic Si and Toyota Corolla S (the X-RS name was pretty much gone after 2014 when the Matrix was discontinued).

Not sure if my last comment came up but basically I said I just bought a 2014 Dodge dart off of one owner driver and I am so impressed. It’s so mechanically sound and for the place I got it before I could be happier one of the best cars that I have ever driven . bought it with 200,000 km on it. Not sure what that is in US 160 thousand mph not sure anyways. Very happy customer.

It was originally the Alfa Romeo Giulietta (based in turn on the Fiat Bravo) which was a little bit more of an upscale car, however the direct Fiat version of the Dart was called the Fiat Viaggo which is a Dart with Fiat badges. Honestly, I think FCA could have made this car as an Alfa Romeo Giulietta sedan to have an entry level sedan in the Alfa Romeo lineup to compete with the Audi A3, Acura ILX and so on (but they decided that all Alfas should be built in Italy, which I don't think is right, I think changing the planned MX-5-based Alfa Spider over to be the FIAT 124 Abarth instead was a mistake -- Alfa should have had affordable cars like this and the roadster to get the brand out there in North America).

i have a friend in chicago that used to work at a dodge dealership and he told me that darts have huge problems with the oil consumsion , they use a lot of oil, so much that by the time some people came for their first oil change there was basiclly no oil left and even out here in europe where we call it the Fiat Tipo we dont think of italian or french cars as reliable , but they are (usually) cheap.

There was actually a recall to due the oil consumption you are speaking of. The recall consisted of changing the catalytic converter and reprogramming both the ECM (Engine Control Module) and the TCM (Transmission Control Module). I had excessive oil consumption going on with my 2014 2.4 Rallye, that's until the recall was done. That recall fixed all of the oil consumption problems

Even Mitsubishi don't use that engine, they have the normal 4B11 in the basic cars and the Evo went to the 4B11T. I think the 4G64 (& 4G63) doesn't meet emissions anymore? Closed deck cast iron engines are a bit old-fashioned unfortunately, even though they are very strong.

But the Alfa Romeo was based on FIAT parts. Roadster Life has a great video on the Giulietta's design process, he designed the Giulietta dashboard to use the same HVAC system as the Fiat Bravo IIRC.
