5 reasons to buy the 2015 Dodge Dart

1. Attractive interior 

The Dart's interior features an attractive design and soft-touch materials. The cabin feels upscale, especially in the Limited trim, which offers a leather-wrapped steering wheel, ambient interior lighting, and Nappa-trimmed heated seats. The available Cold Weather Group package can be found on the SXT, Rallye, Blacktop, and GT models if you’re set on heated seats and mirrors but don’t want to go for the top trim. 

2. Great Uconnect® system 

Dodge continues to impress with its Uconnect® system in the Dart, praised for its ease of use and quick responsiveness. The optional 8.4-inch touchscreen is a highlight, adding to the Dart's modern and tech-savvy interior. The available voice command feature makes this system even more practical, allowing you to adjust navigation directions or record voice memos. 

3. Engaging driving experience 

The Dart stands out for its agile handling and precise steering, making it enjoyable to drive. It strikes a balance between comfort and sportiness that is sure to appeal, even if you’re just looking for a daily driver. If you want added sportiness, look out for the GT trim’s sport-tuned suspension that will help you hug corners more tightly. This trim also comes with the 184-hp 2.4L four-cylinder engine and performance steering, taking the feel of power and precision even further. 

4. Distinctive styling 

The Dart's exterior design is both bold and sporty, which is a nice nod to some of its stablemates. It reflects Dodge's performance-oriented heritage, adding an element of excitement. The sporty GT model really stands out in this respect but the Rallye trim also has some nice design features such as blacked-out badging and a black grille, alongside dual exhaust tips. 

5. Balanced options 

No matter your needs, there’s a Dart to suit you. Your first choice is either a manual or automatic transmission — all trims offer both except for the Limited model, which is auto-only. The next thing to think about is the engine option. The base model is a 2.0L four-cylinder, which has a nice balance between power and economy with 160 horsepower and an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 29 mpg combined.

 If you want even more fuel-sipping credentials, look out for the Aero trim with the 1.4L engine for an EPA-estimated 32 mpg combined.
