Reviews Summary

No car is more overtly retro than a Dodge Challenger. I wasn’t born in the sixties or seventies, and so I didn’t pack any buddies in the back to chase girls and do burnouts when gas was 25 cents a gallon—or whatever guys in their sixties and seventies say they did with muscle cars. Yet the moment I sink into the modern Challenger’s orangey-red seats, I’m disappointed Led Zeppelin isn’t performing tonight at Madison Square Garden.

Reviews Summary

The 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.
