When automakers start brainstorming a new model, expectations are usually met with risks. Is the car going to be sell? Will it be popular? Will it vanish into thin air as fast as you can say "rebate?”

Fortunately, Dodge->ke28 doesn't have to worry about any of that with the 2013 Dart. Popular as it is affordable, the Dart has been a masterstroke for the folks over at Chrysler->ke21. And to give customers an opportunity to enjoy more of the sporty sedan, Dodge has decided to unveil a series of special-edition models of it, including the Dart Limited Special Edition.

It shouldn't be confused with the Dart STX Special Edition->ke2041, so let's get that out of the way. The Dart Limited Special Edition is impressive in its own right. It comes with the smorgasbord of standard features that are included in the standard Dart while also adding some luxury touches to improve its styling credentials.

Anytime you hear “premium Nappa leather seats,” you immediately think of high-end models. The Dart Limited Special Edition has just that. But that's not all; those front seats wrapped in Nappa leather are heated too. The heat treatment goes for the steering wheel too.

It also has a power sunroof, racetrack LED taillights, a Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen with Garmin navigation, SiriusXM Satellite radio and Travel link, dual-zone automatic temperature control, a remote start, and a universal garage door opener.

We don't know about you, but as far as we're concerned, all those additions are more than enough to justify the car's $21,805 price tag.

Dodge Dart

Truth be told, the Dart isn't exactly a new model. Back in the `60s, Dodge had a vehicle called the "Dart." Over the course of time, that model faded into the sunset and wasn't heard from until the automaker decided to bring back the name and wrap it in a different package.

Hence, the new Dart was born.

Looking more like a car that's ready to rumble at any moment's notice, the Dart has some serious aesthetic design that shouldn't be taken lightly. But it's sporty and aggressive design isn't the only thing makes the new Dart such a popular model; it also gives customers a choice of different engines, including: a 1.4-liter MultiAir Intercooled Turbo engine with 160 horsepower; a 2.0-liter Tigershark engine with 160 horsepower; and a 2.4-liter MultiAir Tigershark with an output of 184 horsepower.
