TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Dodge Dart

2014 Dodge Dart Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The Dart's generous size pays few dividends in its back seat, where legroom, though a bit more abundant than in the Focus, is in shorter supply than inside some other smaller, lighter competitors. The average adult will fit behind the average adult with a little room to spare. The seat itself isn't quite as comfortable as the higher, larger, better-shaped cushion in the Focus. see full Dodge Dart review

2014 Dodge Dart Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Seats are comfortable for long periods even in the base Aero. Various models have different headrest designs, some better and worse. Nice ergonomics, generally. see full Dodge Dart review
2013 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Very large backseat for class. see full Dodge Dart review
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
There is plenty enough room for me. My 6'5" friend is comfortable sitting in my Dart and says there is more leg and head room than his Corvette. I'd say this is a big plus for perspective buyers. see full Dodge Dart review

2008 2dr Convertible 158-horsepower 2.0L I4

No rear seat. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
2007 2dr Convertible 166-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual RWD
It's OK for the driver, but there's not much room for the feet of the passenger. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
