2009 Dodge Avenger Consumer Reviews

Thank you, Dodge.

Vehicle

2009 Dodge Avenger SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A) Prod. End 11/08

Review

My Avenger may well have saved my life yesterday. Christmas Eve, and an old man with hearing aids nearly caused a head-on collision with me by veering into on-coming traffic in an ill-timed attempt to make a left. Between my seatbelt and the airbag, I barely felt the collision (I managed to swerve enough to clonk into his rear quarterpanel as he turned) and am not sore at all today. Plus, this car is built like a tank because, despite the harsh hit, only the front end was damaged. Not sure how much yet (it being Christmas, the insurance companies aren't out for blood yet), but I know it's not nearly as much as it probably should be. So thank you, Dodge. Thank you for my wonderful car.

Computer problem?

Vehicle

2009 Dodge Avenger SXT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

This is my second ND winter wtih this vehicle. It gets around all right, however on the first below zero day the computer gets confused and the entire car dies. this has happened both winters. The dealer claims it just needed a computer update but that's not adding up for me. Has anyone else had this problem? My warranty is almost up and I'm very concerned it will happen again next winter. It's fine once they reset the computer. Very odd!!!!!

Review

I've had my 2.7l SXT for two years now and it is still an awesome ride! It handles flawlessly, excellent in snow and rain and VERY smooth. The engine is VERY quiet and idles smooth. Overall quality has been excellent! No problems at all in the 2 years and the paint is solid. Gas mileage has been 22-24 mpg city and 28- 31 mpg highway. LOTS of power and VERY fun to drive!

Great Deal, chicks Love it

Vehicle

2009 Dodge Avenger SXT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

Bought it new for $15,300, under the cash for clunkers program. Beautiful red paint job. Chicks love to look. Looks fast, but performs average. Great gas mileage, average 25 mpg overall. Besides oil changes the only reason the for a dealer serviced my dodge was I Had a water leak in the trunk. It was the spoiler, tighten the screw stopped the leak. And a loose negative ground cable which cause battery light to come on. All warranty. Handles local roads well, never been stuck on these poor Alaskan roads. Seats comfortable. Cruise and power features are great.

Winter in PA

Vehicle

2009 Dodge Avenger SXT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

Have had the car for four months & have experienced a winter w/ it and dread the next! Slides & gets stuck easily, hopefully I just need different tires. Couple blind spots. Had to get the seal around the brake light on the trunk replaced, leaked water inside Everywhere! Paint chips very easily on the bumpers w/ little pebbles. Car also runs very loudly even in park & under the hood is not very convenient, the battery is under fuses & stuff. I'd certainly go back to my FORD.

Great Ride

Vehicle

2009 Dodge Avenger R/T 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Prod. End 11/08

Review

This is a fantastic vehicle. I bought it to have a more reliable ride for the hour long drive i have to work. It preforms very well in bad weather and seems to handle flooded streets with ease. The vehicle handles very well making turns fluently and with little effort. Its nav system, touch screen digital radio, and sun roof make the drive fun. Its driver power adjusted seat and heated front leather seats are very comfortable. the only negative thing that i can think of is that the 6 cylinder engine gets about 25 miles to the gallon and i would like to see it get a little better than that to save money and off set the cost of the car. Other than that no complaints at all.

Decent Sedan - Felt Right

Vehicle

2009 Dodge Avenger SXT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

2009 - Dodge Avenger SXT Flexfuel 2.7L V6 Automatic Well this is my first car, but I've driven hell load of different cars from compacts to heavy construction machines. I was looking for a sportier 2010 Mazda three, so I borrowed this one to get to the dealer and for me it felt right. The pedals weren't touchy and and the steering was just right for my likings. Compared to a 2010 Mazda 3 I can actually have control of my speed without looking at my speedometer every second. Some might not like it because the lack of pep. As for comfort, love the seats. I am tall with long legs and a bad back, so the leg room is pretty fantastic for me.

Great Midsized Car

Vehicle

2009 Dodge Avenger R/T 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I've had mine R/T almost a year now. It's as fun to drive now as it was the day I bought it. The R/T suspension is tight with minimal body roll in the corners. The leather trimmed seats are firm but not overly so. I've had zero defects in the first year of ownership. The fit an finish of the dash is excellent however the hard plastic material leaves something to be desired. However I've yet had to sleep on it so who cares. I'll get a dash mat to cover it. My R/T came with the 4 cyl engine. It's not the most powerful, but it climbs the mountains in NM OK. The 4 speed transmission is the weakest drive train part. But it's what I was looking for. Great gas mileage for my 65 mile commute

Great car, mostly.

Vehicle

2009 Dodge Avenger SXT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

My vehicle has some defects, both in design and manufacturing. I place a baseball cap over the shifter to prevent sunlight reflections, bad design. The upper front door seals leak air at highway speeds, attempted to have this corrected at the dealership, they said there is nothing to do about it. I find that if I press the seal with my finger about 4 inches below the top of the window the sound of the leak goes away. I recommend not leaving cans of soda in the ChillZone compartment, I have had a few failures of the cans which are likely due to overheating of the cans (the compartment lid is dark). The avg. fuel economy indicator shows 1 mpg greater than actual, calculated on long trips.
