I purchased my avenger after researching several different used cars. I purchased it with 31k miles on it. in The first 2 years that i owned it i added roughly 40k miles to the odometer with several road trips between CO and OR. On my long road trips i was able to achieve 33mpg~ and had next to no problems with the exception of one trip when a cougar hit my front right quarter panel after which i drove safely for another 1100 miles back to CO. With regular maintenance this has been the most reliable car in my family, it has also been one of the most comfortable with room enough for my daughters car seat and 2 passengers in the back seat. I dont quite understand Edmunds con that the trunk is too small, i have literally fit 2 adults in the trunk comfortably before, i have also used it to lug 3-4 peoples snowboard gear up to the mountains safely and comfortably. This car is also fun when driven correctly, i use it to chase my wife in her v6 suv down the hwy on occasion and did so quite successfully. The handling isnt F1 quality for sure but youre not going to lose control if you lay the pedal down through the corner either. I have loved this car since i purchased it and will be sad to see it go when it comes time to purchase something else.

If you are looking for a comfortable car, for short and tall people, and a smooth/quiet ride, with a sharp look to it, than this car is for you. BUT, if you are looking for a reliable car, than this is NOT the one you want!! we have had this car for 6 months and has been in the shop 3 times, granted it has just less than 80k on it, one time was for routine mantanace, but once was the check engine light sensor and just now the alternater. We are wondering "what next" we cannot afford payment plus fixing problems that should not happen.. sigh.. will not buy another Avenger, even though it is VERY comfortable and is sharp looking, it is not reliable, beauty is not everything.

This car was a huge lesson learned. The dealership played me into buying a car that was more than what it was worth. Selling it had been a huge hassle and knowing what I know now I'd do so much better. The car literally falls apart every other month. I’m glad to be purchasing something that isn’t Dodge going forward.
