It's just a commuter car.

I don't believe the FCA garbage meme unless someone actually proves they own the car.

I have a family member that has a 2.4 liter automatic version.

It sounds to me that the 1.4 struggles with the size of the dart. It was made for cars like the 500, kinda works in the 124, but not a Dart. I think the 2.4 would be a more worthwhile investment, especially in manual. It's based on the 1.4, and has better specs all around just because of the displacement.

>>17622114
Why are you looking for a Dart anyways? If you want a shitbox Dodge car to mod, you can grab a srt4 neon for cheap. The srt version is pretty solid, the Dart is pretty bad all the way around.

>>17622249

1.4L is all that's available if I want new.

If I get used, I can find better than a dart, probably.

>>17622306
That's what they did, bought a slightly used fully loaded one.

Wow, talk about a fucking derailment. Sorry about your thread, OP.

>>17622114
Hello, lemme try to fix this thread a little bit since it derailed pretty quick
there is literally nothing wrong with a 1.4 turbo. I own a GM 1.4 Turbo EcoTec with 140hp. It gets very good gas mileage and it has been very reliable for the 25k miles I did (bought new 2 1/2 years ago). My car only weighs 2900 lbs though, the Dart has 160 hp and more torque for the added weight. The best way to find out is test driving it. I have literally heard nothing about Fiats Reliability besides memes. I believe the newer Fiat Engines are okay and are doing their job. In my eyes they're good looking cars, and with a 10/12k price out the door for a complete new one is fantastic. Good luck OP with searching one!

I have a '13 Dart Aero 1.4t
Pros:
>good gas mileage
>comfy for a daily (I've taken it on long road trips too)
>good touch screen radio (for the love of god get the touch screen, everyone I see who got the base radio hates it). It's actually the same head unit they use in Maserati's, no joke. Get the Alpine option if available.
>it's not as normie as a hyundai or honda
>For the price they go for now, can't really go wrong
>high safety rating. I'm paying lower insurance then both my previous cars, 1 being an '02 MR2 and the other a '98 Legacy
Cons
>it slow, no you can't make it fast. Save your money buying parts. Except an intake, that was the only thing I noticed that gave it a little more pep.
>the value of it fucking plummeted when it got discontinued. I mean that's good for you, shitty for us who already bought them
>The throttle is shit. Its electronic and lags when you REALLY need it to. If you floor it from a dead stop you're gonna have to wait a sec. It's fine once moving but it gets annoying when backing out onto a busy road.
>they aren't that cool and honestly a large portion of the Dart community is autistic. DartsofMerica is filled with idiots. It's day and night going between the DartsofMerica and R32 Owners pages on facebook.
Lemme know if you have any questions, I've had this car for 3 years now

I used to have a 1.4t as well.
They are slower than Miatas. My '99 NB with 140 HP has a higher power to weight ratio than my old '13 Dart Turbo.

The induction and recirc valve noise is a good reason for an intake tube but you're right, they are rather expensive to modify and still really heavy and slow. Fuel economy will be average unless you have the "underbody aero kit" that may or may not actually be on the car, you will never see 41 MPG except on a perfectly flat highway at ~60 mph. Any faster and the rear bumper becomes a major aerodynamic drag producer. At full throttle you can watch the needle drop and fuel economy is in the 10s. Cruise control is utterly useless. The auto-dimming mirror will break. The dual-mass flywheel makes all kinds of terrible noises when shifting at low speeds, sounds like the transmission is fucked but it isn't. The multiair solenoids tick very loudly and make the engine sound like it's broken with the hood up. That's probably the reason for the THREE WHOLE INCHES of foam between the carpet and the actual floor of the vehicle.

It's a good econobox with solid, confident handling, a cool-sounding, reliable engine and some nice, if derivative styling (rear quarter views make it look like a fat 4-door 2g Eclipse, front end looks very GT-R).

Do not bother with any non-turbo or automatic Dart. They are unbearably slow, no aftermarket at all and no fun to drive.

Please don't tell me that, I love the mirror

Don't take any of the car apart. At all. Ever. Electrical troubleshooting on this thing is an absolute nightmare.

The fucking wiring diagrams are impossible to understand. They're meant to be printed out individually and rasterbated together but they don't tell you what parts go with which.
I had an issue where my blower motor fan would not turn on even though the HVAC controls were working and communicating with the BCM, the BCM was just not telling the blower to come on.Tested the circuit and replaced the HVAC cluster and blower motor resistor, eventually just wired the blower to a straight 12v from a spare connector and put a switch in between so I'd have AC.

nice thread

How much backseat room is there in a challenger? Is there enough for a 6'2" man? Some coupes are pretty spacious in the back

>>17625562
none

Weird coincidence, I saw one the other day on the highway and it made me realize I hadn't seen one in years. They must be really shit cause a lot of people bought them when they came out. Why would you want one OP?

>>17626036
the engine has so little torque down low that at highway speed, you cannot put the cruise on and leave it in 6th, it will not be able to make it up even the gentlest hill. You have to be doing about 75 MPH before you're in the powerband in 6th.

All you're doing is making whites hate blacks and you call it truth. You don't have to like white people but you're becoming a facist nigger. You're the reason nobody takes the black race seriously.
