5/30/2023 0 Comments Dodge dart 2013![]() There's also a Dart Aero version with a highway rating of 41 mpg. It's worth noting that the same engine paired with a six-speed manual gearbox is not only $1,100 cheaper, but gets slightly better ratings at 32 mpg combined (27 mpg city, 39 mpg highway). To get all that power, however, you'd better like to rev it-at which point it gets considerably noisier.Ĭombined with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic, our car carried an EPA rating of 31 mpg combined (27 mpg city, 37 mpg highway). Our car came with the smallest engine, a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine from Fiat that produces 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. On fuel efficiency, though, we were somewhat impressed. So, if you’re in the market for a vehicle that offers the best in class features, performance capabilities, and style, stop by Benny Boyd of Marble Falls, TX to take a look at our vast inventory and schedule a test drive of the 2013 Dodge Dart SXT/Rallye.Based on a weekend test drive, the first Dart we'd driven since the launch event last summer, we'd say that the Dart is a huge step up from the unloved Dodge Caliber hatchback it replaced.īut it's not yet among the best in the segment for driving quality, interior refinement, or performance. Sixth also functions as something of an overdrive gear, leading to impressive fuel economy. Wind and road noise are also surprisingly muted at high speeds, something you don't usually get from an economy car with a base price that starts under $20,000. ![]() But that complaint was forgotten on the highway, where sixth gear returns a quiet, peaceful ride. Part of the reason for the gearing troubles is that the Dart has six gears - maybe one too many. ![]() We often found ourselves in the wrong gear, meaning a downshift was needed for any real power. But the gearing can also be a burden, as it requires constant attention to keep it in boost range. That can be fun - especially since the precise shifter is so enjoyable to use. With a short first gear, our Dart Rallye requires quick shifts for optimal acceleration from a stop. A six-speed manual is standard across the range, with either a six-speed automatic or a six-speed dual clutch automatic as options. The Dart’s base engine is a 2.0-liter four cylinder that also puts out the same power figures. But after driving the newly introduced sedan, it’s clear the Dart still has a ways to go.īuilt on Alfa Romeo underpinnings, the Dart is available with three engine and transmission options, including the 160-hp 1.4L turbo four-cylinder engine that also powers the Fiat 500 Abarth hot hatch. The new 2013 Dart is the first evidence of what a full Chrysler-Fiat collaboration can produce, and it’s an encouraging sign of things to come. ![]() ![]() With the 2013 Dodge Dart, Dodge finally has itself a legitimate compact car offering to go against the likes of established players like the Civic, Corolla, and Focus among others. The Dodge Dart will get you zipping down the road with features like a sporty instrumental panel, large touchscreen, and aggressive exterior style. Looking for a change of ride? Well look no further than Benny Boyd Auto of Marble Falls, TX where you can find the 2013 Dodge Dart SXT/Rallye. ![]()
