Dodge Dart 2013 First Test Drive Review with Elizabeth Kreft by RoadflyTV

Published on Apr 27, 2012 by roadflytv

The new 2013 Dodge Dart is entering a very competitive segment -- the compact car segment. RoadflyTV host Elizabeth Kreft spent a few days in Austin, TX getting to know the new Dart.

Our test car came with the Limited package. So we had all the creature comforts like the large center screen with navigation and other information. It also meant our car had the fantastically huge 8.5" center navigation and multimedia information screen.

This segment of RoadflyTV offers a first test drive review of the all new Dodge Dart. We'll have a full car review available in about a month.

Interviews include: Richard Cox, Director Dodge Brand and Joe Dehner, Director Exterior Design at Dodge.

The Dodge Dart is back! RoadflyTV host Emme Hall had a chance to talk with Dodge executive Matt Liddane about the all new 2013 Dodge Dart. There are a number of engine and transmission options available in the new Dart. While the drivetrain options are impressive what's most impressive is the array of custom options available. Our favorite is the oversized navigation screen.

If you're wondering if there will be a Dodge Dart SRT you'll have to watch the interview and find out.
