2015 Dodge Dart GT 0-60 MPH TFL4K Review: More Cruiser than Bruiser

[@solofalcon]

Just bought a 2014 Dart GT, loving it for all its features, heated seats, heated steering wheel, remote start, leather, Alpine sound system, sun/moon roof, Uconnect, windows are tinted, also it looks very aggressive with the racetrack taillights and 18 inch wheels. paid under $14k, has less than 35k miles. Happy with my purchase, screw the haters.

[@TheyCallMeRabbit98]

solofalcon how's it holding up? I'm looking to get one!

[@iameatingursnack]

Just bought a 2015 gt with the manual 22k miles it's slow as balls, but damn I love this car! I got my srt4 in the garage for speed

[@johnperez3454]

Do you sitll have the Dart? How is your review after a year of ownership?

[@ryanbesch5992]

solofalcon I have the same car, and I got it for 12,500 with a little scratches and upgraded tires. I love my car, it sounds nice, looks nice, and faster than most cars for the same price. Also, don’t sleep on the sound system, it’s so amazing.

[@DerekWorth02]

My choices where between this and the 3.6l avenger, I did go with the avenger but that was a hard decision, both cars feel great to drive. Seriously, before you bash a car, go drive it, you'll be surprised... It's not fast, but it's fun (the model I test drove was the manual transmission).

[@TheChris037]

I own a 2014 Dodge Dart Rallye that has the base 2.0 engine. Yes the car is down on power with only a hundred sixty but the handling makes up for the lack of power because this car is a lot of fun to drive and handles really well and the interior is the quietest that I drove in a small or even a midsize car and the car rides quiet well also. I think the firmer ride is only in the gt trim.. I drive 25 miles to work on the interstate and cruise at 80 and the car is very quiet and we'll controlled. My AVERAGE fuel economy is 33 mpg. I just turned over 21,000 trouble free miles and car has been great.. if u want a fast car then this car isn't for you. but I think the car does really well in all other categories and I think the car looks great also, I get a lot of compliments.. I'm just saying I think the car gets some bad press but you definitely need to test drive this car because I would buy this car again.

[@SRMitchell91]

Nathan- Thank you for doing an honest review which doesn't totally bash the Dart like some other automotive sites. I am a technician at a Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealer in Northern California, and I recently factory ordered my own 2015 Dodge Dart GT. I went for the 6 speed manual like you suggested, and ordered the car in the beautiful Granite Crystal Metallic. I can't say enough about how much I love this car. I am a Jeep Cherokee (XJ, not kl haha) enthusiast, so even at 10 seconds 0-60, my Dart is probably 7 seconds faster than my fully built xj is to highway speeds. The Dart is quick, but not fast. Mpg is fantastic, and the optional Alpine 9 speaker system is amazing, coupled with the 8.4 interface. Working at the dealership, it is clear that that 2.4 and the 6 speed manuals have been very reliable so far, the same cannot be said about the 1.4 turbo, or the Dual-Dry_Clutch Trans (DDCT) in the Aero, and many 2013 Rallye/Limited Darts. Not to mention the continuous failures of the 9 speed ZF trans in the KL and 200, which share the Dart platform. Keep up the great work, TFL Car is my favorite automotive youtube channel.

[@dimmn82]

Funny you said that. A dude on my campus has a white Dart. Nice car, but it being a GT and only having 184hp is quite disappointing.

I like how Dodge incorporated an electronic speedometer into the Dart.

[@lukekuykendall6366]

I just picked up one these and LOVE it! MSRP on mine was 26 and change, I picked it up for just $19,800. I was fortunate enough the dealership I got it from had two NEW 2015's left and wanted them off the lot since the 2016's were in. I built a 2016 version on Dodge's website with all the packages I have on mine and it came to $28,500. Can't beat that! Drives like a dream, plenty of kick, and engine sounds great.

[@bikesbeardsbeers94]

Thanks for the review Nathan! This was definitely on my list when I went car shopping in October. Had it not been for our lousy dodge dealer (and dodge-y reliability), it might have swayed me from getting my Corolla S. I'm mostly surprised the Dart doesn't get any better mileage. Little 4 bangers have been able to get much better MPG for a long while. My old 2001 Camry in highschool got better with an archaic 4 speed.

[@jessetrupiano]

The 2015 200 is on an extended Dart platform so the interior may be similar in size, but the engine bay is where it has the largest difference. It actually fits a Pentastar 3.6L V6! That's a huge step up for a car that size. No manual available though. Still performs better than the dart.

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

The usual, extremely professional review from our hard working friend, Nathan. However, the car would appear to be totally underwhelming. It's not a bad car by any means, but the engine seems somewhat lacking in power for its size, and the ride is, apparently, harsh. I can't see who will buy this car.

[@LlyleHunter]

The ride is actually less firm than it is on the Alfa-Romeo Giulietta so I'm wondering how that will be received by the US audience. I actually liked the firm ride and didn't find it so harsh for a small car since I like small cars to be stable and not bouncy pogo sticks. Overall I was disappointed that it is just a sedan and not something more useful such as a fastback 5 door hatchback. Small cars are best when they are Swiss Army Knives.

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

Bruce Solomon That's exactly my problem with this car. It's " just " a car, there's no duality of purpose.

[@LlyleHunter]

MrKeyboardCommando That's my problem with the Corrolla and the Civics that we get in America too and all of those small sedans and coupes that aren't available as hatches. I've had small cars that I've really liked but they have to be useful for me to commit. When I buy one it's not because I'm on a budget and need transportation, it's because I looking for a car the car that I like regardless of it's size.

+Gregory Perkins You speak about GTIs and STIs like you own one LOL go crawl away in your carolla. For my dart having a full liter of engine difference only 50 whp less than a stock STI / same torque is bragging rights in itself with only $550 of mods. STIs start at $27,000 same as....hmm a challenger R/T that has over 100 whp more than a sti if we want to compare apples to apples.

[@teaspoonorgf5419]

I own a Dart GT in a manual and it is a stunning car in Blue Streak pearl paint and the fuel efficiency if a bit better than the automatic. I'm getting almost 29mpg combined.

I still have my 2015 Dart GT 6-Speed Manual and still love driving it. The first car I ever drove was a 1965 Dodge dart. So, I can actually say the first car I ever drove was a Dart and the last car I ever drove was a Dart. The only problems I had is the clutch pedal return spring broke, and I'm on my 3rd left rear wheel bearing.

[@TheRicereater78]

Ok the Dart has to be one of my favorite looking cars on the market at the moment. The base models are pretty well equipped and come with a decent amount of power. But for the same price as a Focus ST, you can 20 more hp than the base model and 70 less hp than the competition? Doesn't add up. I was hoping that Dodge would make powerful version of the Dart and instead they're pretty much releasing the same car for more money.

[@mikrosha]

Surprisingly my 2013 Limited with the turbo engine goes faster... which one is more fun to drive in your experience? Great video, thank you.

The LED tail lights across the back of it also look fantastic at night. I'm going to look at one today. I thought I was set on the Ford Focus ST but I'll check this out first. It's about 8,000 dollars less. Hmmmm.

[@joelbielecki3501]

Do not listen to the previous guy he is stupid! He is lying because the dart doesn't even offer a 1.6 litre engine! If he is talking about the 1.4 turbo, then I believe it because the dual clutch is a terrible transmission. But if you buy the 2.4, it is an excellent buy and should last well over 200,000 miles. Chrysler 2.4 litre engines are known to be indestructible and the conventional 6 speed auto is an excellent tried-and-true refined smooth-shifting gearbox. I would say get a sxt rallye 2.4 auto. The manual is surprisingly terrible. You will also get at least 35 miles per gallon on the highway even with the auto; I often see over 40 on long trips. I owned an Alfa Romeo Giulietta in the uk, I moved to Detroit and bought a dart because I knew it was very close to the giulietta. I actually think the dart is better.

[@highatruthart]

+Joel BIelecki We have been trading up going on 3 years. The first was a 2014 SXT 2.4, traded at 13,8 k . The second a 2015 Rallye, 2.4, have 7k on it, and now are looking at trading for a 2015 GT, with all the options, including diffusers and side sill moldings. Have not had a lick of trouble with any of them so far. The GT has 17 miles on it, and they need to move it ,as the 2016's are coming. Smokin price on it also. $20,160 is the price, from almost 27k.

Good review. I couldn't see a world where I would buy this car if I had any alternative, but the car didn't seem that bad. I don't think any engine that puts out that kind of HP should be called a tigershark. I wouldn't fit in that thing anyway being 6'4.

Mazda3 with the Skyactive 2.5-liter and manual transmission is a better driver's machine.

Thanks for the response! What about in automatics? Is this Mazda3i with the 2.0L better than the Dart GT (auto) in your opinion?

[@NathanDAdlen]

Nordy The Dart and Mazda automatics are both alright, but they are connected to two very different engines. I think the Mazda has a slightly sportier transmission.

Fast forward and MOPAR has had some huge successes and some pretty bad failures. This Dart seems like a hot Neon but nothing to brag about. Too many better cars in this one's class. I had a BMW 328i that was similar to this Dart only a LOT better. This Dart is competing with a whole bunch of Hondas, Toyotas and Mazda's that are better and if you spend a few more bucks you can get the BMW.

[@ATRichard]

Very good review. I do like the Dart. But it does seem like it's got a few "unfinished" or "unrealized" bits about it. Most reviews of it are kinda average. That 2.4 tigershark seems like it's a better engine than the 2.7 V6s Chrysler used to make. But it also seems awfully underpowered to be used so widely in such big vehicles. At normal altitude, the 2015 200 with this engine does 0-60 in 9.7 seconds or so, making it the slowest non-hybrid mid-sized car available right now, while the 3.6 V6 makes it among the fastest. At high altitude, this Dart was even slower and is a lighter car. Even at normal altitude, it'd only be 1-2 seconds faster give or take. Given the steep competition from Ford, Nissan, etc. in this compact segment, Dodge is going to need to update the Dart within the next few years in order to stay alive in the segment. I hear an SRT model is in the works. I would also recommend to Chrysler that they consider bumping up the power on that 2.4 so it's not struggling so much to move their vehicles.

[@Nemofishman]

Or taking the F-150 route and make it 250-400 pounds lighter.

[@ATRichard]

This would also work haha.

[@killerhamsters99]

The only thing i really hate about my dart is the low power output. For the most part though, even on a base model SE 2.0L, it's still a very nice car for the price you pay. Out the door my car was 15,000 in 2013. I've put close to 16,700 miles on it since buying (I only drive to and from work and I live right across the street) and have absolutely zero problems with it. Like literally no problems at all, kinda strange actually.

[@killerhamsters99]

Nothing wrong as of yet! I was told I was going to have a lot of problems from others when I bought it but still nothing. Everything is well built even on the base model. With regular maintenance it will last as long if not longer than most average cars on the road today.

Id give him headstarts and everything lol.. I whipped that Dart every single time and I could put a gap between us as big as I wanted.. I've beaten Charger RT in that Civic LMAO!!!

[@iameatingursnack]

But I've whipped countless si's aith my SRT4 ..... what's your point? I love my 2015 dart gt ... slow as hell but great for the family

[@motorcityman401]

How is it that my 3.6 V6 Dodge Challenger which weighs about 3,800LBS gets the SAME MPG (31highway) as this lighter, 4 cylinder DART???

[@michaelsmith494]

Has nothing to do with the Challenger a challenger is an American car completely made in America Dodge Dart is a Alfa Romero format Fiat engine Alfa Romero transmission which is awesome on the 1.4 liter turbo much faster than the tiger shark if you use Auto stick

[@iameatingursnack]

Just buy a MANual

[@kenanderson5812]

If you're so worried about power, buy something else or just modify it

[@Dan.a.k.a.bradpitt]

Chevy cruze is way better in terms of performance. I about laughed when I drove the dart on a test drive shopping for a new car. Same applies for the Mazda 6. The Altima gets better mpg than the Cruze or the dart and spanks them hard.

[@LlyleHunter]

I drove this car and liked it allot but it doesn't have enough torque and it looks to much like the old Neon. Why didn't Dodge employ its aggressive Dodge styling? Also I don't see why they didn't make it a 5 door hatch. What good is a small sedan? A hatch is so much more useful. I don't know why the 200 doesn't have a real Chrysler grill on it either. Chrysler was the first company to have bold styling with the 2005 300 model and the rest of the industry followed. Everyone else's grills have grown and become corporately identifiable and now Chrysler and Dodge grills are becoming innocuous. To the people at FCA running the Chrysler and Dodge brands; There is a saying that the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the oil. Now, I'm not telling you to go back to making cars with squeaky wheels, you'd done that long after others stopped, however when it comes to styling: BOLD SELLS!

[@cntrollerfanboy]

I'm guessing you haven't seen the cross hairs on every Dodge car since the 90s xD

[@Roman-uc3bs]

22/31 mpg is utterly HORRIBLE in 2015 for a 2.4 liter engine compact car. The 2015 Mazda 3 is more powerful, roomier, and gets 40 mpg highway.

[@Roman-uc3bs]

The new Honda CRV SUV gets better gas mileage than this subcompact piece of junk.

[@carbrickscity]

Agree, I would pick the Mazda3 over this any day.

[@zacharywyant8504]

Totally agree, my 05 Impala gets about the same mpg as the dart, and the Impala has a 3.4 L V6!

[@awksweat230]

vader11111 I was thinking this the whole time. For $25,000 with the Mazda 3 S Grand Touring, you get: better mileage, faster engine, better exterior design, better reliability, better NVH, comparable interior quality, and cheaper maintenance in the long run. Why would anyone buy such an inferior car?

[@awksweat230]

milattx You sure I could go into my local Dodge dealer and get this car for $18K? That's a good deal but I doubt it's true. Sure Mazda 3 sales were slow at first but it takes a while for something as big as a car to take off in the market partly due to the poor research done by consumers. They simply don't know what is best because they don't look deep enough. You can already see Mazda 3 sales have improved for yourself. I spot plenty of Mazda 3s and 6s in my city. Also, the interior is far from outdated. It looks great in my opinion and car reviewers are on my side.

[@davidp6310]

What kind of watch are you wearing?

[@Snakeyes11123]

My 2014 Dart Aero gets better mpg then this 15 GT. Mine has a 6 speed ddct turbo 1.4 Liter. I get roughly 27-29 city and 32 combined. I have gotten 40 mpg on the highway on a lengthy road trip.

[@mrahul3000]

IMHO FCA needs some turbo/supercharged engines. So far the two engines of offer (Eco diesel and the hellcat) are not exactly mainstream engines (Like the Ford EcoBoost lineup). I would really like the Durango with the EcoBoost train turbo v6. Or better yet the Volvo T6 v4 (which is turbocharged and supercharged). PUG when are you coming?

[@mrahul3000]

I meant twin turbo and Volvo 4 cyl T6

[@McCraezy]

FCA does have the 1.4l turbo engine, and id rather have it than the 2.4 . the fuel economy of the 2.4 is terrabad, and the power does not balance out. The bus system on these cars have been a disaster thus far as well (might have personal experience lol).

[@McCraezy]

McCraezy on a positive note, i really like the manual transmission, good clutch feel and easy shifts, although i wish the shifter was metal, instead of a look alike piece of plastic

[@YoshiSSBU]

Only ogs will remember this car from Asphalt 8 as the car that begins your journey

[@markp9247]

Good looking car! Nice value from a domestic automaker. I thought all Darts had a new 9 spd ZF trans. That would help get its heavy ass out of the hole quicker.

[@4dscdriver]

Mark Paschke the early 2.0l and 2.4l ones come with the 6AT Powertech.

[@got2getit204]

Is it me or just the steering wheel dont fit that car!

[@tlockj7910]

Andre Rasco : 1.6 is type fault it's indeed 1.4 184Lp and 160HP, 2013 dart rallye, if it makes you happy, but for the records no one is arguing about how much power or torque it has, the argument is about how another neon made by Chrysler and called Dart. If you want to defend Chrysler bring your case to the table, instead of picking fight about shitty car horse power, read what the argument is about before you pick fight about ishh that no one cares about. And it's foolish to call people that you don't know, what they know and what they don't. I am professional driver if you know what it means, I sleep, I breath and I live for cars and trucks, and for the record I work for Chrysler.

[@lfsracer79]

Charger 0-60 review coming soon?

[@LlyleHunter]

Came and went!

[@lfsracer79]

Bruce Solomon No, I mean the V6 AWD model they have now.

[@LlyleHunter]

lfsracer79 I agree. Yesterday when they didn't come up with anything interesting during their prototype hunting they should have done some driving impressions of the car that they were in and given us a bonus video. I was checking later in the day to see if they did. BUT NO

[@TFLcar]

Bruce Solomon Please stay tuned. A complete 0-60 MPH and AWD snowy review is on the way for the V6 Charger

[@LlyleHunter]

The Fast Lane Car You guys are awesome!

[@Jemill13]

Hi guys Old video I know but have you guys driven the dart in the wintertime

[@djmay5588]

Is the gt worth getting over the sxt rallye?

[@Turshin]

Dj May in my opinion no. same suspension, same dual exhaust, same 2.4 multiair engine. only difference is the 18 inch wheels, leather interior, and the tft screen in the middle of the gauge cluster

[@joeoraha5603]

The Fast Lane Car do a review on the Dodge Journey and possibly a 0-60

[@naterensland9345]

I had the 2014 dodge dart gt needless to say not the best I had the 6spd manual raved a 2014 dodge ram with hemi an we literary sat side by side all the way to 100 so I have to say dart needs to loose some weight

[@Choom-li]

They should have called this the Avenger or the Neon, rather than slapping an iconic name onto this.

[@DiceEnjoyerSgtHops]

dodge should name one of there cars "This" just for kicks

I can't believe this cost as much as a Corolla it'll only last 60k till the fiat blows a piston ring

[@lffit]

shame they leave it as an Alfa, so much better looking imo

[@BMan100]

Damn that is a good exhaust note. And it drives and rides no nicely
