In any case, the little turbocharged Fiat engine started out slow, then quickly gained its footing - assuming it started out at a good speed to begin with (that speed varied depending on gear and load) - and pumped out more than enough power. The 1.4 also demands premium fuel and synthetic 5W40 oil, which will eat away at any gas-mileage savings. It also is easier to handle with the manual transmission, and did we mention a thousand dollars cheaper? That's not chump change on a $20,000 (±$4,000) car. The 2.0 is sufficiently powerful for the car, not to make it exciting, but to make it a decent daily driver. The 1.4 and 2.0 have the same peak horsepower, but the turbo engine has more torque. The 1.4 adds over a thousand dollars to the price, as does any automatic despite the lower gas-mileage ratings of the 2.0, that might push many buyers to the 2.0, and they'd probably be fine with it, especially since it comes with a conventional automatic. Both have a manual transmission standard the 2.0 has a conventional Hyundai automatic, while the 1.4 has a more sophisticated dual-clutch Fiat automatic. The Dart will eventually come with four engines for the moment, buyers can choose between Chrysler's own 2.0, and Fiat's 1.4 turbo. We could spend a day or two on the electronics and conveniences, but let's cut to the chase and get into the essentials: how does it work as a car?
#DODGE DART 2020 DRIVER#
In short, we used the Dart as our daily driver for a week, and exploring how it filled the need for a day-to-day commuter car, a family shuttle, and a fun weekend driver, with various driving styles. Eventually, Ma Mopar lent us a 2013 Dodge Dart turbo for a week, letting us put it through its paces: stop-and-go suburban traffic, launches onto busy and unruly Route 4, the odd panic stop or swerve from driving down Route 4. For months, we gathered early test drive writeups in our Early Dart Reviews page, seeking a balanced view of the first major product of the Fiat-Chrysler partnership.
