2013 Dodge Dart RT

Invoice: $15,974 to $19,550

The first offspring of the Chrysler Group LLC and Fiat merger, the 2013 Dodge Dart combines European sensibilities with Dodge flair. It also introduces a smartly designed compact car ready to take on all of the high volume contenders such as the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Hyunadi Elantra.

Capitalizing on Fiat’s MultiAir engines, the Dart is powered by one of three different Tigershark engines ranging in size from 1.4-liters to 2.4-liters. The Dart can reach hit 41 mpg with a special aero package and comes loaded up with some driver-friendly technologies.

Moderately priced, high performing and arriving with just enough Dodge attitude, the Dart is the kind of car that can change the course of a company.
