Dodge Dart

The Dart is basically a compact Italian sedan wrapped in American clothes, with numerous Dodge-isms such as “racetrack” taillights and a crosshair grille. Multiple engine-and-transmission options are offered, but despite a decent chassis, we haven’t found any version of the Dart satisfying to drive. Its roomy interior can be filled with high-tech options, though, and fuel economy for certain models is excellent.
