I love my avenger

2008 Dodge Avenger SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I just bought my avenger 2 weeks ago. I love this car. I average about 22-23 miles to the gallon - all in town. My car had 10,000 miles on it when I bought it. I love the sporty look. I wanted a new car, but couldn't find anything at all I liked. I have the 4 cylinder, and to me it has no problem getting up and moving.

Favorite Features

gas mileage

Suggested Improvements

should make automatic lights standard

Avenger Review

2008 Dodge Avenger SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

Born and Raised a "GM Girl", I felt almost disloyal when I purchased my Avenger SE, but BOY am I glad I did! It's a great car for money! It has a spacious interior and many extras that you wouldn't expect in a base model. Cool Zone cup holders, 2 part adjustable arm rest/storage console and a folding rear seat with rear passenger armrest, makes for enjoyable road trips. It's easy to get in & out of and has plenty of headroom, which if you have tall and/or aging loved ones, this is a HUGE plus. The exterior is probably the biggest surprise of all. Who would have thought you can get a car that looks that cool for under 20K? It certainly wouldn't have been me!

Favorite Features

The exterior is AWESOME!!!! Nice lines and a great look. I definitely turn heads with this car!Trunk is roomy and has low profile entry, which is nice when you have heavy packages. No need to lift up & over then set down.

Suggested Improvements

Higher profile vehicle makes in the wind a challenge. Passing big trucks is not a problem though. Car is a bit noisy inside, which may be attributed to being a base model? Also hard to see when backing up or changing lanes. Convex spot mirrors handled the changing lane problem.

Water leak

2008 Dodge Avenger SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

It is fun to drive, I have been very happy with it, get lots of looks & I can't stop looking at it after I park it.

Favorite Features

I like that its smooth riding, has all the features I wanted.

Suggested Improvements

Stereo system not all that. It died on me once when I pulled out into traffic then it rained & found a soaked back floor board & back seat & part of back of trunk. They said its the sunroof but I don't see how since the interior roof was not wet at all. Rear air would be nice for the passengers.

Junk

2008 Dodge Avenger SXT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I have the SXT, 2.7 V6. This car is the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned. 3 1/2 weeks old, only put 200 miles on it. The lifters in the motor were bad. Water leaking onto floor, seat belts kept getting wet inside the door. Trunk leaking. Stereo speakers stopped working. The inside of this brand new car has all been taken apart, roof, doors, moldings, sunroof & nothing fits the same way as from the factory. This car has been back to the dealer 2-3 times every month since last June. Not enough space to list all problems. Now,the ignition switch sticks/stays in the start position (trying to start the car) BUT the car is already running, JUNK ! LEMON !!! Back to the dealer again !

Favorite Features

Factory remote start & heated seats

Suggested Improvements

Back to the drawing board

I wasn't even looking for a Dodge Avenger when this one just fell into place. Took it on a test drive and fell in love. This will be a great car to drive for our summer vacation.

Review

Got the brilliant black Dodge Avenger RT back in October. Got the MyGiG navigational system, along with the chrome rims. This car looks nice, very nice. I have nothing but high praise for this car. Looks and drives just awesome. And the lifetime powertrain warranty is unbeatable. I would reccomend this car to everyone. Thanks Dodge.

None whatsoever, I'm a happy customer.

Review

I never thought I would go back to a car after driving an SUV, but this car changed my mind. It is fun to drive, sporty and comfortable. The only downfall that I have found is that the fuel mileage is not so good in town.

Favorite Features

Bluetooth, remote start and heated leather, I can't choose.

Sharp & Sleek

2008 Dodge Avenger R/T 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I really love the body style of this car The R/T is the more sporty of the bunch with the performance and handling, which is why I chose it. The seats are amazingly comfortable I also have the heated ones so that makes for a enjoyable ride. The sunroof also adds flair to it. I'm planning on ordering the windbreaker to accent the sunroof. You really should test drive this to get the full extent of the vehicle, I honestly have no regrets on purchasing this vehicle. it rides smoothly and even more so with weight in it. I honestly have no complaints about the car it handles like a dream and I love the character it has it screams I'm Ram Tough!

Favorite Features

Tough muscle looking body style. Interior, very roomy, great for taller people they have plenty of leg room and head room. Stereo features and for factory speakers it rocks! Huge trunk. Heated seats. Satellite radio. Sunroof. Handles a curve like a pro! Chill zone is an awesome feature!

Suggested Improvements

The plastic looking door covers should have been chrome or something not so easily scratched I noticed they have kits to cover those and I plan on ordering one. The headlights are obviously very blinding with a load in the vehicle I had about 300lbs in the trunk and rear seats. Gas tank bigger!

R/T Best Buy For Money

Written by: Steph on 02/14/2008

Vehicle

2008 Dodge Avenger R/T 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I traded my 2003 Dodge Stratus R/T in for the Avenger R/T FWD. After a lot of looking for a sporty, fun, and practical car the Avenger was my best bet. I first test drove the AWD but I was disappointed by the acceleration and handling. The AWD doesn't get the performance suspension like the FWD does. The convenience package is worth the money. While the interior is semi-cheap looking everything is very functional and is quite easy to clean. The seats I find to be very comfortable, especially on long rides. Carpooling is a breeze, and the acceleration is hands down awesome for a car in this class.

Favorite Features

Love the acceleration and the handling. Very aggressive exterior design and this car gets a lot of looks. The 6 speed autostick also makes this car even more fun to drive! Really feels like a sports car.

Suggested Improvements

The plastic in the interior is a little cheap looking.

2008 Dodge Avenger SXT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

The car was bought for my wife. We wanted a car that was sporty but practical, and when I had to be in it was not too "girly". We bought the r/t with every option except the dvd stuff. The car so far has been great. It handles well, rides well and is decent on gas mpg. It's quiet and roomy on inside. Four adults fit comfortably. We have both gotten speeding tickets in it, so while it's no Ferrari, it's fast enough for us!

Favorite Features

The sunroof, spoiler,and 18" wheels on the outside. The two-tone leather and satellite radio on the inside.

Suggested Improvements

The brakes need an upgrade. They seem a little weak compared to rest of car's performance. The sound system rocks, but if you really crank it up, the speakers do rattle a bit.
