It was a decent car
it had many issues with it. such as the throttle code went wrong it had some leaking issues and it had some electrical problems. I advise people to stay far away from avengers. unless you want to spend some money fixing it

Powerful and Responds well
Great on the hi-way. Fun in the city. Seats 4 or five comfortably. Powerful and Responds well. The car has been with us for over a year and a half. It is extremely easy to drive and easy to park. Large trunk holds all you will ever need.

Feels like a race car, but comfy like a family car
Absolutely love this car. Powerful V6, easily overtakes anyone I need to pass. Looks and feels like a race car, but has all the luxury items I could ever want. I could live in this car. Gas mileage not great if you tend to speed too much, but that's pretty much to be expected.

Great Vehicle
Great fuel economy (2.4L engine) and a roomy, sporty interior.

With regular maintenance this car has lasted me 7 years and almost 200,000km with no major issues.

I would recommend it to other buyers, and would consider a new Avenger (however, for work I need an SUV.)

Avenger SXT 2.7ltr
Great car for motorway driving, economical, comfortable,
please to drive in all weather conditions.
Cooper tires make for great road holding in both wet and dry conditions.
Touch screen audio with wide screen makes for easy listening and changing of stations, hands free mode allows ease of answering phone calls when on the move.
Great trunk space for those longer trips and ample room in the rear seats.

Good so far
I have had this vehcile for the past five years with no major issues. The car rides fairly smoothly compared to other mid size cars I have driven. I like the style and comfort of the car. although I have the seat warmer and is now not working not sure what the problem is with that. The fuel milage could be a little better than what it is but overall it is not awful. the only other issue that I have with the car is I have a spoiler on the trunk and I think it is due to this that after a rain when I lift the trunk water runs into the trunk usually getting me wet. Overall I would reccomend this car.

I love my car!
I bought this car in october 2008, ive had absolutely no problems with it that couldnt be fixed easily and under warrenty. My only complaint is the odd 17" tire that costs a slight bit more when its time for new ones (i just purchased my second set mar 2013).

A fun family ride!
We bought this 2008 V6 R/T AWD model about a year ago when it had 41,000kms. As a second family car to our Chrysler Pacifica. We LOVE this car. The R/T is very quick on acceleration and makes for a fun ride. It looks sporty and the interiors 2 tone leather makes us feel like it's a much more expensive car. It's loaded with features including heated seats, a 6 disc CD/DVD player and a Boston audio sound system. Even has a but of an engine growl when accelerating. The fuel economy isn't as great as other cars it's size simply because of it's AWD feature. But for the extra traction in the winter months it's a decent trade.

So much fun to drive!
I went shopping for a truck, but one test drive of this car and I was sold. I have the SXT, I love it!!! Can still fit the kids in the car, and the Hockey bag in the trunk. The seats are roomy, comfortable and for those of us that need a little extra room it is a perfect fit. It looks good, sporty but with four doors. It is great to drive around town and out on the highway it handles like a dream. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a family car with a little "flair"!

Great car....except,
I own a black avenger. I have had almost no problems with this car. One time while passing on a two lane highway the accelerator got stuck, I had to hit the brakes and shut the car off. Turned out it was just a computer problem and it never happened again. A little scary but nothing a driver shouldn't be able to easily overcome. All I did was apply the brake.
The car handles great, had great gas mileage, plenty of head room in the front and back. Loved this car except...it has a gigantic blind spot! It has such a large blindspot I would not even consider buying any dodge with similar modelling. I have to merge onto a highway every morning for work. I check my mirrors, shoulder check twice each and then slowly merge over hoping no car is there. I have had angry people honk and shake their fist at me for almost hitting them. Through no fault of my own, just they were in my blind spot while I was merging, and unfortunately for dodge that blind spot is massive. Just so we're clear though, it is a fantastic car other than the giant blind spot. Deal breaker for me though when considering my next car.

More of a luxury car
I find that is much more of a luxary car than the sports car it tries to emulate. it is very comfortable but last third of the gas pedal adds absolutely nothing to acceleration and barelly anything to speed

My First Car
This is a bit long for a first car but i am completely satisfied with it. It has a boston music system which is absolutely amazing. This car has a lot of muscle power! You can just hear the engine roar as soon as you press on the gas. I one thing it lacks is leather seating. If it had leather seating I would easily keep this car for more than 5 years But I require leather seat because the seats I have now tend to get dirty as my kids get messy.

Nice looking car
The performance of this car is excellent espically when you want to overtake it has that extra give to it just waiting for your command,adding to the comfort of the seats are design to contour to your body for good posture.Winter time is a blast with the dodge Avenger never sticks because of the ground cleaance this car has. Overall this car is very reliable.

no issues
I have had this car for 5 years with no major issues just regular maintenance. I would reccomend this vehicle to buy not sure about the newer models but would definetely think about buying again when it comes time to replace this vechile. The ride is fairly smooth as with any sporty type vechile. The best is all the options available on this car absolutely love the heated seats which in my opinion should be in all cars. There is lots of head room in this car compared to the Malibu or impalla which were also on the short list of cars to buy.
