Reviews SummaryThe 2016 Dodge Dart is the king (or queen) of big compacts with a large exterior that rivals that of some midsize sedans. With a lot of metal to haul around, the Dart may not be the quickest in its segment, but an ultra-frugal optional engine at least helps keep mileage competitive. This may be the last year for the current Dart before a badly needed update, which should help it pick up some of the style points that it's lost to competitors such as Honda and Hyundai. | |
Reviews SummaryEven after a full redesign last year for the Cruze, Chevy felt like there was still something missing. To add some utility to its compact sedan, a sloping rear hatch was added to let it try and compete with segment stalwarts like the Mazda3 and the Honda Civic. For extra competitive advantage, all Cruze trims now come with Chevy’s Teen Driver mode as well. | |
