cars they were offered up as when first introduced. Stylish, colorful, almost
brawny today's Fiesta is nothing like what your parents drove. Stop by Freehold Dodge to test drive a 2015 Dodge Dart today.Â
Vehicle Features: Interior/Exterior

·        Carpeted front floor mats
·        Telescoping with manual tilt steering wheel

Vehicle Performance
The Dart has a history of being a solid performing American car that is solid and fast. Dodge continues this tradition with a 2.0L 160 HP engine. There is also an option to increase the power up to 184 HP.
As expected the Ford Fiesta has a smaller engine but that's to be expected since it gets better gas mileage. However, with a 1.6L engine 120 HP and 112 lb.-ft torque it certainly can't be considered puny.
MPG Efficiency
The Dodge Dart gets between 23 to 28 MPG on the street and up to 41 MPG on the highway, depending on the engine under the hood.
Ford Fiesta offers 28 on the street and 36 on the highway.
