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

Review

I looked at a lot of cars before I bought this Avenger, and I must say I'm glad I waited for this car. The car is excellent in the city and on the highway. My R/T is loaded with every available option and I think this car will be a classic. Thumbs up to the Dodge Avenger designers.

Favorite Features

The gadgets in this car are amazingly easy to operate and learn.

Suggested Improvements

I would have liked a little more storage room for my CD's and DVD's.

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

Review

Perfect for my needs. I don't really need the size or power of the Charger/Mustang, but I liked the exterior lines/shape of the Charger. The Avenger's 4 cylinder engine is so quiet that you wouldn't expect the power behind it. Last tank was 32 mpg on the highway, which is what I had hoped for. Handles great in the city for the money.

Favorite Features

I never had a spoiler before, but this one is very classy. The Boston Acoustics system is a must for music lovers. I can turn up the volume and still talk to the passenger as opposed to yelling over the noise. The fold down back seats have really come in handy for loading big items into the trunk.

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

Review

Having owned this car less than a month, I couldn't say much about reliability. I can say that it is fun to drive, and has gotten me compliments from anyone that's seen it. The ride is smooth and great for cruising around over long distances or for short trips, but this car still manages a feeling of control and sure- footedness in the turns.

Favorite Features

Styling, LED maplights/accent lights. 2.7 Liter V6

Suggested Improvements

The only thing I've found to complain about so far is the implementation of the front maplights. The driver side light was broken when I got the car and the mechanism feels cheap, though it looks great when everything is working.

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

Review

During the test drive, I was somewhat skeptical. But after 20 minutes on the road, I realized this is a really nice car. Maybe not as quick as some, but the looks are super. The vehicle handles extremely well. The mileage is good as long as you don't get heavy on the gas pedal. The interior is a little stark but functional. I must admit for the money the vehicle is road worthy and I am happy with my choice.

Favorite Features

The evic system (premium instrument cluster) is very cool. Also the autodim mirror.

Suggested Improvements

Possibly dressup the interior.

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

Review

I drive a 100 miles a day to and from work. So far I have only 1400 miles on my R/T but I love this car. The performance and looks makes driving fun again. It's comfortable and very driver friendly.

Favorite Features

The steering wheel stereo controls, 6 C/D player, and the beverage cooler.

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

Review

This car certainly is an eye catcher which is why it sits in my driveway. My RT is black with chrome wheels and the spoiler. Lots of little goodies like the heat and cool cup holder, tire pressure monitor, fuel mileage monitor, remote start, autodim mirror with home link, Sirius satellite, and a few other things.

Favorite Features

I like how the 6 speed auto is matched to the engines power. The car accelerates very briskly. The suspension and steering are also very good. It's a heavy car and that inspires confidence along with ABS and a ton of air bags.

Suggested Improvements

My biggest complaint is the interior. Could they put anymore plastic in it? I'd pay a grand more for some upscale looking materials. After all, it's where you spend most of your time. It's something I really didn't take note of until after I'd had it a few days and you get past the initial sparkle.

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

Review

Well I just bought my car on the 21st of March of 2007, and in the short time I have had it I love my new car, The 4 CDR engine is extremely snappy and the acceleration is incredible. The ride and the mostly sound proof cab makes highway noise barely noticable and an outstanding ride. I highly recomend it for anybody.

Favorite Features

The stereo, and everything the computer in the car offers to the driver.

Suggested Improvements

Softer seats.

Review

I bought a Dodge Avenger from online photos and I must admit, I did not go crazy when I first saw it. However, when I drove this car I really fell in love with it. It handles really well, and I have the power to pass and go when I need it no problem. I also like the extra elecrical outlets and cup holders, the fold down seats and the huge trunk on a good sized car. Not too big, not too small. Just right. The price is fabulous I dare anyone to compare this car with anything in its size on the road today.

Favorite Features

Sunroof, cup warmers. Cola holders, fold down seats. Huge trunk. Good get up and go! It really flys on the highway

Suggested Improvements

Heated seats might be a plus, but the auto-temp heats up so fast it is not really a problem Navigation system is not priced competitively. But the extra plug allows me to use my own portable system fine.
