2015 GT trim, red, what looks like a real leather interior, 6 speed manual. Neat little car. The handling and the power is good enough for me. It had nice torque and pull, once I figured out the gearing.
This is a good car, right? I'm not crazy? It's 11, maybe 12 years old and still feels tight and nimble, and the materials on the interior are really decent. I love the seats and the seating position, it's got a crap ton of options and everything works well, and I legitimately enjoyed the driving experience

No one wants a Dodge Dart. One is forced to accept a Dodge Dart. Similar to a geo focus or a Neon.
Should you be the one exception rock on my friend.

Why??

It’s an Alfa without the cachet of being an Alfa. The upside is that with the manual, fun to drive. Downside is maintenance and repair costs of an Alfa.

Run from that as fast as you can, they are so bad. You will have non stop issues

If it’s basically free…. Sure. But, as a general rule, no. That said, the manual is a better box than the DCT but if the multiair unit fails… that’s very expensive. It’s basically an Alfa Romeo Giulietta but built shittier.

Run. The dodge dart was an economy car shitbox that had some many different failing point when it was new that it was a complete mess for the brand. They couldn’t get rid of the damn things and they sat on lots for years after production. Suspension failures, brakes, engines overheating, burning oil, horrible build quality on average. The list goes on and on

All of this plus parts are unreasonably expensive and or hard to get ahold of.
