After bringing viewers up to speed on Chrysler’s plug-in minivan program and record quarterly earnings, Jessi Lang drives the 2013 Dodge Dart on this week’s episode of Wide Open Throttle.
Much like Mini, Dodge designed the all-new Dart with personalization in mind. The compact sedan comes in five trim levels with 12 paint colors, 14 interior colors and trims, and six wheel choices. Many of the Dart’s options can be picked individually and not just in a package. An 8.4-inch touch screen for the infotainment center with voice activation and back-up camera are available.
Dodge offers customers three four-cylinder engines and three six-speed transmission options. Lang was able to drive the Rallye model with the mid-range 1.4-liter turbo-four engine—from the Fiat 500 Abarth—mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
Lang says the 2013 Dart has soft-touch materials where it counts and finds the interior roomy for the class. What else did Lang think of the 2013 Dodge Dart?
