Dart...with the 2.4L 6spd manual... hands down...AND IT SOUNDS GREAT!!!!
I am thinking about getting one. Should I get it
@@fire91217 If you can find a good one..
@@BMan100 I bought one
My mom drives a '15 Elantra GT and we like it a lot. It picks up nicely for a sub 20k car and was a pretty good deal. Its spacious for its size with a nice comfortable ride for its short wheelbase. Averaging 31-32 mpg too in mixed driving!
I love my 2016 dart!
I love my dart too, and it's been pretty reliable so far. knock on wood.
That tail light in the back that lights all the way up ❤️
If сompare it with the Kia Rio of those years, is there a big difference? 😅
I really want that Dart 😭😭
It's a great little car! The interior is great.
@@leswause8937 YES!
Dart all day
I have a 2015 Dart Rallye 2.4L and I absoulutely love it! True it is a little slow for having 184hp but its good enough for me.
I truly think you’ll enjoy the 1.4 more and not just a 1.4 it has to have a cat back straight pipe and a cold air intake, thank me later ✌🏽
Nobody here has never driven a Dart, and has based their opinion on merely online reviews.
Had a Dart as a rental once while They where fixing My usual ride, A Dodge Grand Caravan. It was pretty nice. A bit cramped compared to the van, but it had some nice features, Felt nice and compact, and was a million times better than a Chevy Spark, the worst Rental Car i've ever been in.
+Myles Hejmanowski Double negative, really? You just said everyone here has driven a Dart.
I own one. It's a 2.0 six speed and I love it. I'd never drive this ugly Hyundai bullshit.
Myles Hejmanowski I personally own a 2015 Dart Sxt and its the best car ive owned by far. Its beyond reliable and great on gas. Its has a comfortable ride and feels sporty to drive at times.
I've had my Dart Rallye sport for 4 years now and have put over 80k miles. As a proud owner I have never had any issues and with a K&N cold air intake it is at 200HP and 190 torque. The automatic sounds great and it has awesome pick me up. With some Estrada sport tires and stiff suspension I can corner hard and it is a pleasure to drive. I tried the Elenatra and it is somewhat comfortable, but looks terrible and it takes years to rev up, also corners pretty poorly.
Those are my 2 cents.
Elantra's and Sonata's are great cars, for old ladies. The Dart is the best-looking compact around.
hahaha... look vs standard equipment/price/longer warranty and you pick the look.
Chummy Chime I agree that the Elantra is great for picking up groceries.
maybe lease the dart but I wouldn't own one.
Elantra is a decent car believe it or not! it isn't a Mercedes Benz but it's better than the Dodge Darts! 2013_2016
the best dart review - no back seat, no head room (with sunroof), slow as fuck... but I love mine! I see more teslas on the road than darts that makes me feel special on the road :)
The Elantra has a gdi engine. Does the 10 year warranty cover cleaning carbon of the intake valves?
Oh my God. Finally someone knows how screwed up GDI can be with the carbon issue. Thank you. Audi and BMW are struggling with it.
use shell V nitro + fuel and you will be fine, dont take my word for it. Do your research
I am not struggling with it in my TSI, just use low saps oil and will be fine.
Super_Slav It doesnt happen right away.
buildmorefarms100 I know it doesn't, 40k and still clean.
I have a 14 Elantra GT Manual. Excellent car, no issues with the gdi and probably the easiest manual ive ever driven. I'd like a sports car but for my family of 4 it works perfectly. Plus I have an SUV if I need to carry stuff.
I don't understand why you never race the 2 cars your comparing.? A 1/4 mile race is mandatory. Still gave u a thumbs up, everything else was cool
Just bought all white black top Rallye edition Dart manual trans. Love it ! Can't wait to customize it. Its 2.4l. I totally disagree with the review of the shifting. I find it very responsive in 1st through 3rd gear, and has plenty of power.
DART is heavier because it's safer, stronger safety cage. If safety is on your list then research measurements on IIHS website.
AutoGuide.com Hey Guys. I love watching your videos. They are informative and entertaining.
Isn't your company Canadian?
-You always show fuel consumption in MPG.... I agree that L/100km is annoying but that is the Canadian standard.
-I've also noticed that you refer to American warranties instead of Canadian......I find that to quite misleading.
Being Canadian and having been in the car industry for 12 years, misinformation like this creates a lot of confusion and disappointment for the consumer. Not to mention, huge headaches for the retailer.
Thanks!
your sound guy is so so so good.
P.S. - Leslie street! Didn't realize you guys were GTA!
My neighbor loves her Elantra GT!
I drive an elantra gt.. An it fkn asome not to mention onthe price.. Few thousands less than the dark and i work for hyundai for over a year.. I rather drive a manual transmission because of the takeoff.. But menn i have no rewards for buying this car thumbs up for elantra gt..!!
I'm enjoying my Dart turbo. It's really fun. I don't care about how it performs since I don't race.
Its not elaaaantra its e-lahn-tra now please say it right
Exactly!
Dude literally no difference
@@Jsv_1021O4 there is. Lol
@@brittoncoil2518 no
And so it begins...Hyundai becomes a regular brand not a budget one.
Wow, the Elantra has come a long way since the last time I drove one! (about 1999)
Which car is better?
Dart needs a refresh badly, and then a SRT version. Dodge is really trying to brand themselves as having badass cars but the Dart in current form is just meh. I'd get the Elantra over a Dart lol.
The dart came out in 2013 the last time that car was on the market was around 1970s in that time period as a dodge fan and own 2 darts they are reliable and great vehicles I dont see why people would get a elantra that looks like a pos but the dart actually has quality to it
+StingyVsCars Reviews and Films! my dads elantra had piston slap after 100K and my dart has had zero issues, so hyundai being "long lasting" isn't true lol and engine replacement at 100K is not long lasting
+StingyVsCars Reviews and Films! my dads elantra had piston slap after 100K and my dart has had zero issues, so hyundai being "long lasting" isn't true lol and engine replacement at 100K is not long lasting
+Matthew Holbert Lol quality. In the Kelly Blue Book compact comparison test for 2015 on youtube, the Darts handle fell off in the reviewers hand. Thats some quality..
I ALMOST bought a Dart, but backed out last second for a '15 Turbo Jetta Sport.. couldnt have made a better decision..
I'd rather a handle fall off then have pistons trying to f*ck my cylinder walls.. If I wanted to spend way more money I'd probably get a jetta sport too and pay out the poo hole for parts and maintenance. Just stay away from those vw "clean diesels" lol
The Elentra GT does not have heated rear seats (the standard Elentra has those), nor does it have a heated steering wheel. The reviewers should get their facts right before throwing it out there to the world that the car comes equipped with those.
Very happy with the Dart GT. Would not be caught dead in a Hyundai or any other Asian vehical.
Kyle Raetz You're right. You'll never be caught dead in one because they're safe and reliable.
Even the 2016 Camry? The 80’s and 90’s Camry is infinitely, the most reliable car. But... not the latest ones.
I own a 2013 Dodge Dart Aero, 87000 miles and never had an issue.
the dart us a much more fun car to drive with tge 6 speed mNual you can down shift and attain usable power
Mazda3 or Impreza, Elantra GT if I had to choose between it and the Dart.
I'm with the Elantra
How did you get the audio so clear in the beginning with it being so windy?
What happened to Column Wood? Is he still working there?
2 years later: all the darts have fallen apart and the Hyundai is still under warranty
in all the other dart reviews I've seen the reviewer always says get the manual but this guy has the manual but says get the automatic well which is it? at least with the manual you can put the car in the right gear. being more of a sports car fan I would probably take the money you could spend on either of these cars and buy a used BMW or audi and use the saved money on repair costs.
I'm an average sized male 6'0 and I have plenty of headroom in the front and back
My dodge dart sxt rally is a great car to driver and sound very good😎
Why am I so in love with the dart😍😍😍
RIGHT??!
Isn't it common sense to know that a hatch is going to have more headroom? Why don't these guys know that? It's the old "apples to apples" thing.
I'm not saying these cars are bad but the review was like what's the best car of the 2 worst cars in the segment. I actually think its refreshing having something different then the segment civic and corolla. Those 2 are great at what they do as well. Seemed like they just did this because they had to. I know I know not the most exciting cars to drive but point A to B they do a great job.
the dart is based on an Alfa Romeo platforms that was very unreliable.
For the Dart to be based on the Giulietta it seems to be so far removed from it.
I'll take the hatch any day of the week. You couldn't give me a Dart! Seriously
No car company on the market today are unique anymore for example looks like hyndai stole its front design from Audi. It's a shame
***** Hyundai stole audi grill?looooooool,read more kid...
So what you are saying is that the hyndai grill is not identical to audi's gril? Maybe you should look more
***** Hyunday got this grill since 2008,audi since 2012....Its Hyundai's grill,audi knock off it...
***** Hyundai had this grill before Peter Schreyer came...Schryer works with other Kia/Hyundai design studios in Korea,America,Germany,where they all together work/design cars.
***** Audi had rounded grill,hyundai had hixegonal grill on tucson in 2008...audi got this hixegonal grill on a6 in 2012...you can find video where Schryer said that Hyundai was first car company who got this grill....
My 2008 Elantra is still running strong after 100k miles!
That a great. I know from experience that the Hyundai is more reliable. Chrysler never could build a reliable auto. I wish it were different. I always thought they made a better looking car than Ford or GM.
Why I appreciate your reviews especially of everyday cars that we can actually afford, why not compare apples to apples like Sentra vs Corolla, Dart Vs Jetta, Elantra GT vs Impreza 5 door. I know these compete in the same "class", but I can't see someone cross-shopping these two or any of your recent econo-car comparisons. Great reviews just mismatched cars.
Should of tested the manual Elantra gt being as the dodge was as well.
Patt C Agreed. I drove the manual Elantra GT and it actually drove pretty nice. I ended up buying something else, but of these two I'd have to go Elantra GT.
TheBluehornz01 What did u buy?
Of these two, I would have gone Elantra GT. I ended up buying a Fiesta ST. I couldn't not pass up the combo of performance & mpgs.
TheBluehornz01 Ok but what about the ugly exterior? Touch screen so far away? Tiny interior and the fact that Fiesta is almost dead last on reliability surveys from owners?? How did you get past those things to buy a Fiesta ST?
Your made up reliability claims fool no one. By the way, the Fiesta ST was a Car & Driver's 10 best, Motorweek's Driver's Choice Award winner for Best Sub Compact, & Autobytel's 2014 Compact of the Year. It's won more than that, but that's just off the top of my head. Sorry you are butt hurt. If subjective looks & the "far away touch screen" are your strongest points against the ST, then I'd say that's REALLY damn good. Perhaps your car is lacking? You sorta sound like a pissed off teenager.Maybe you should go "build more farms" and leave automobiles to the grown folks.
Are we not gonna race them head to head??
jlfigster 3991 😂
tht elantra is not a 2016 version
Yes it is. The GT got the new front end in 2016, while the sedan got the new front end in 2017.
Dart (GT, or SXT Blacktop) handles waayyy stronger.
Elantra may be slightly better ergonomically.
.. The Dart (a decked out one, compared with a full-tilt Elantra) has a way higher 'cool factor' ... That counts, in this segement, guys.
I have a 6spd MT elantra..,but I would rather have the dart
I'd consider Dart if Dodge wasn't rated the lowest in reliability rating by JDPower.
I don't think he should be telling people what's the best looking and what isn't, that comes down to personal taste...stick to the facts.
Its sad that instead of Italianizing dodge fiat themselves have Americanized their cars
Yall need to drive both cars to really tell and i do gotta say dart handles better. Elantra to soft. Stop hating just cuz its a new car lol. It definatly drives way better than an elantra from factory. The dart does has its issues but its a pretty darn good car for a brand new car. And it will get better just you guys watch.
My passengers wouldn't have heads so no worries.
i ll buy a used wrx for less money, low kms/miles, better build, more fun, awd, and better resale if i decide to sell. Save money, more fun, better vehicle, forget these rot boxes, you can have em .
icemanroyal Higher insurance and maintenance costs and most likely been heavily abused=used WRX...good luck, you will need it.
shop certified pre owned from a dealer with not too many KMS, get extended warranty, add some patience and the payoff is surely there. Also, a WRX is not the only alternative out there.
icemanroyal If you can find one that hasn't been modded and abused you should be fine.
buildmorefarms100 I would even look at base Imprezza's too, you can get a few extra ponies out of them with an easy flash and bolt ons, without compromising the car too much.Still better than either of these two cars reviewed.
icemanroyal I don't like CVTs so Id have to disagree with you there...and most Impreza's have them .
id take the Dart
I was looking for a new car and drove just about everything, dodge (dart) chevy (sonic and Cruze) Honda (fit) ford (focus and fiesta non turbo, the SE models) and on and on until choosing the Elantra gt. Easy choice. The warranty can't be touched. It is by far more capable than the others in this segment/money point. The ride is surprisingly similar to larger, more expensive cars. The engine and transmission operate smoothly and the mileage is very good. I've had mine for 3 years and it still drives near as it did driving off the lot new. I'm 6'5" and have a decent amount of room but I find most cars aren't going to be super roomy at my height. 70k miles and it's been solid, zero issues. Good car.
I heard the Dart got the axe.
it got the Axe yes because poor marketing and engineering flaws
They should have been allow to go under. I cant help but to think that their going to fail yet again.
The Dodge name is no longer a Quality Mantra/Brand. Its unfortunate but its true. They will continue to decline till they fix themselves.
Malte Micha Dart had a lot of potential, but Chrysler has a chronic condition that causes them to waste billions of research dollars on silly shit that no one wants. I hope they die out because GM and Ford fought very hard to turn themselves around, and Chrysler does NOT need another bailout.
who gave the guy with the lisp a commentary job?
elantra gt is not a old lady car ok I see a lot of young people with this car dodge is garbage lots of recalls
Agreed. The dodge is shit.
and yet Hyundai is the worst on the list Of the Biggest brands, Chrysler is up there though being number 6.
gyashel that's because your average consumer won't do their research into what's reliable and well built and what isn't. they see a car they like the looks of, test drive it, and buy it. Chrysler hasn't built a decent car in over a decade
gyashel it's all about reputations built decades ago
Saben Coupland Chrysler hasn't built anything close to decent in at least two decades or more. On top of that, they refuse to build a dedicated subcompact or hybrid, and they keep pumping out a bunch of useless "most powerful production" bullshit. Honestly, who the fuck is going to buy a 707hp Grand Cherokee?!
why choose the Dart when you can have an Elantra with 100,000 miles powertrain warranty?
TukTuk Syko why choose 100,000 mile warranty when you can get a lifetime?
+TukTuk Syko My dart also has a 100,000 mile warranty. Lol look up your info before you post stupid comments. Dodge still offered a 100k powertrain with all of their vehicles until 2016. However, If I recall correctly with Hyundai their warranty is gone if you get a used one. I believe the bumper to bumper on Hyundai is the 100k you speak of, but limited in some cases. But you specifically stated powertrain, which in that case both have that option when this video was released.
Same warranty on the Dart as the Elantra. I own a dart. However the Dart is still garbage
Had a Dart with a lifetime warranty and have a 200 now with a lifetime warranty.. nothing wrong with the Dart I just like the 200 more so I traded it
Dart is sluggish on acceleration, the Bering Joints on the dart Heat up and go bad uncontrollably, Braking issues from overheating Causing the brake fluid to boil. faulty faulty master slave brake cylinder. Uconnect flashes on and off and is buggy! talked with Dodge Engineers about it, they refused to fix it! both the dart and the 200 got the AXE in 2016! It also depends on where you live! the lifetime warranty wasn't offered where i'm at! I fixed most of my Dodge troubles by my self. Ill never buy dodge again! its Mercedes or Tesla from here on out.
I LIKE HYUNDAI ELENTRA!
looks like DART is quite compared to elentra based on the noise in the video
DON'T TOUCH MY ...."DART".....
on the corolla side.
I'll take neither...
I have a 2013 Dodge Dart SXT with 14K KM's on it. Purs like a kitten...
In this Segment I would probably get a Mazda 3 or a Impreza.
+Jonathan Whiteacre Mazda 3 sure, but why do Subaru's have to be so damned ugly? I would love an AWD beast that is a Subaru, but I can't get past the looks....
+Brian Wingo Agreed! I think though Subaru is working on this. They weren't always ugly. I have owned three that I though were aesthetically pleasing. My 99 Legacy GT with the 30th edition special paint, WRB 2003 WRX, and black 2005 Legacy GT. Its sad that the new Subaru's look worse :(.
I like the Mazda 3 however I'm 6 foot 5. and was a rough fit. the Dart is roomier but a pile of junk :(
Judging by stats and looks dodge is better .
At the end of the day the Dart is a Chrysler product with poor reliability, cheap materials. Styling aside, (because beauty is in the eye of the beholder and subjective) the Elantra wins hands down easily. Lets not forget the warranty. Lets see the Chrysler put that on the Dart. It will never happen and everyone knows why.....
Dart 100%
I have one it's a 2013 gt elantra and I love it got it for me and my 2 girls when u have a car seat and a booster seat in the back the middle person best be very skinny not much room but lots for 3 skinny adults love it that's the only draw back for family's
i just needed 50 sec to know the best car between these 2 cars ... actually 1 sec
Of course Dodge Dart
issssth one of the mosssdst affortable compacthsssss on the market.
Warranty:
www.hyundaiusa.com/assurance/america-best-warranty.aspx
www.dodge.com/en/dart/warranty/
Pablo A. Rossi I have a dart and have a lifetime warranty which covers quite a lot. So argument invalid.
Jordan Gehlhausen I agree, my FULL MECHANICAL LIFETIME WARRANTY was only 2200 dollars tied into my loan. I would have paid a heck of a lot more for a full lifetime warranty. And yes it's a TRUE lifetime warranty. No one beats it
I'm on neither side...
The Dart is a Americanized (read: bloated) Italian car and the Elantra is an efficient but boring Korean car.
That's the thing. In car culture, people aren't aloud to not have sides, it's always: "Go on, pick a team. ANY team, you have to have an opinion!"
Personally, I'm just a Brand Snob, so I'd pick the Dodge Dart given the same amount of money. But I'm not anti Hyundai. I really appreciate their desire to be an American Company. They create 94,000 Jobs all across the U.S, and over 50% of all the cars the make are assembled in the U.S, which is probably more than Dodge. I consider Hyundai to be more American than GM, given that they focus more on international sales now, and even then most of the cars they sell here are assembled in Mexico.
dart is an awesome car. I love mine. test drive that Hyundai too and didn't like it at allll
The people who also comapre a subaru to these vehicles are way out of their league these are two completely different class of cars ones fwd the other is awd im a fan of both but for the money and American made Id stay with my two darts
I have a dart love it.
El- ahn- chra not Elayuntra
He says Elantra funny but good review
*20 lb/ft more for the Dart.
I would take the Dart any day of the week much nicer and contrary to a lot of people say I have lot more reliable my opinion I used to have a 2014 Hyundai Elantra biggest pile of s*** I ever drove I barely had that car one year and the seat started rattling like crazy had issues with the turn signal on one side and I start having a weird noise underneath the dash that I could not find out what was going on and the trim pieces start coming apart took it to the dealership they fixed one or two things that was wrong with it but refuse to fix the seat stating that they couldn't duplicate the issue and they couldn't find out where that noise was and they couldn't fix the turn signal issue either so screw Hyundai Dodge all the way.
I feel bad for who ever owns a dart. It's like a bunch of kids built it...
Turbo Turbo it's cheap and efficient thus far. Bought mines with 10k miles for 11k
Well, the Hyundai is safer but the dart is much more stylish. It’s not your grandpas car where as the Hyundai is but the dart definitely doesn’t add much to the table.
Ichida Sozui Both the Dart and Elantra have a 5 star safety rating. The Dart being heavier actually makes it the safer of the two.
Skimp on some of the bells and whistles and buy a Golf instead.
Yippie repairs and problems galore in the Golf....they are notoriously bad.
Elantra gt panoramic roof alone
I have an toyata camry
love my Elantra15
I'm on Craig side!
Neither
Hatchback!
Lololol 28mpg in the Dart? My 370z gets 28 on the freeway, and if I just do 60 instead of 65, I can get 30... that small engine is working to hard
I usually get 35 on the highway
matthew von I get 41mpg and 38 combined
dont buy auto Dart, I own one it is terrible! Slow as fuck and very limited when comes to upgrades, can't hold lot of torque increase and get hot.... get a manual !!
+ealiev60 if you had the money to buy the gt you wouldn't be whining lol
+outspolsis excuse me? if only you knew how to use your brain
ealiev60 the gt is a really big leap from the standard dart, I got one, I know what I´m talking about, the standard dart is not worth it
There's over 100000 ways to customize the dart through mopar. Literally. Performance and aesthetic
Tiger'sEye Gameing LOL hahahahahaha
I drove both cars.... I like the Elantra GT better then Dodge Dart.
Dart wins hands down!
Focus ST
Dart
