Hi everyone, Is there any place that will rent tools and space or maybe a lift for you to work on your own cars in Socal near SGV? I'm looking for a place like that to make working on my car easier. Any info would be very helpful.

Hi All,

I just bought my Dart 2 weeks ago. A Mother's Day gift to myself. Actually my 1997 Sebring Convertible was giving me issues so a great excuse to get my Dart.
I have been lusting after this car since I first saw the ads. I thought I wanted a Red Automatic and I test drove it but then I wanted to try the 6-speed. I fell in love with it. I have a Tungsten SE. No bells and whistles. As a single mom I needed something I could count on and afford(and still very stylish). The gas mileage is amazing, I am averaging 34mpg. After driving my Durango with the 5.9 engine (12-13 mpg) this is heaven.

I currently own 3 MOPARs. My Dart, the Sebring and my rusty but trusty 1999 Durango (185,000 miles and still starts on even the coldest Wisconsin days:) I am glad to find a forum to find out information about my beloved Dart.

Jen :)

Hi Everyone, I’m Phillip from Southern California and I'm about a week away from buying a 2013 Dodge Dart Aero , Black on Black. Even though I'm more of a V8 guy but I'm willing to learn about the engine in it and if there are mods out yet to get these engines pumped up... With that in mind I will be picking your brains about parts, tuning and other things so be patient with me... Looking forward to being a part of the group.

I'm a new Dodge Dart owner and was wondering if I could get some suggestions on what rpm you shift at for both fuel efficiency and performance. I only have the base SE model. Any tips and suggestions would be appreciated.

The day after we bought the Dart I was wishing it had a cargo net. My Durango and Charger came with them. I found that Mopar sells one for $35. I was wondering if anyone has bought one yet. I don't see where in the trunk it would hook to. I pretty sure it does not hook to the grocery bags hooks. If it does I still do not see a floor hook.

Dodge has just announced that the 2013 Dart is getting two special edition packages along with a new Ralleye appearance package.

The special edition packages will be available on SXT and Limited models, and both offer cost savings compared to buying all the options included individually.

Customers who opt for the SXT special edition will get a slew of options, all for about $595. For looks, the package includes a black crosshair grille, dark tinted projector headlamps, projector fog lamps, LED racetrack tail lamps, and integrated dual exhaust.

On the inside, the SXT special edition models get Uconnect voice command with bluetooth, leather-wrapped steering wheel, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, front-passenger seat in-seat storage, remote start (with automatic transmission), USB port, 12-volt auxiliary power outlet, trip computer, vehicle information center, tire pressure monitoring display, active grille shutters and underbody aerodynamic treatment.

Lastly, customers can now order their Dart with the Ralley appearance package, that adds on a unique black front fascia, Rallye badges and class-exclusive 17-inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels, all for $395.

The Dodge Dart ranked highest in its segment based on responses from owners of 2013 model year vehicles in Strategic Vision’s quantitative study of 17,568 owners. The Dart led the highly competitive small-car segment.

Strategic Vision measures “Total Quality” by studying more than 440 variables that encompass positive and negative experiences including reliability, driving excitement, emotional attachment and overall sales and service satisfaction.

“In today’s competitive market, customers expect and deserve a highly reliable vehicle,” Doug Betts, Senior Vice President—Quality, said. “This particular study recognizes that to excel in overall quality it’s important to also deliver well-crafted, exciting vehicles and ensure customer satisfaction after the sale. These honors show that customers appreciate the innovations in the all-new Dart as well as the ongoing improvements we’re making throughout our product lineup.”

Strategic Vision Vice President Christopher Chaney said the Dodge Dart’s results in the TQI index prove that customers respond when “you mix super exceptional versatility, motivating exterior styling, and a strong array of high quality performing components and concepts.” “Dodge Dart’s leading in the small car segment is extraordinary when you consider how much focus, design and competitive engineering exists within this important segment,” Chaney said.

I have a black [PX8] Crosshair Grille and would like to trade someone my black grille for a red grille. If you have a red grille and would like to install a black one, send me a message. Thanks.
