Good in the snow not in the show

When I initially purchased this vehicle I did not care for the interior, however I kept telling myself it is for the wife! And this was her choice! interior is low grade plasics that retain dirt! sheet metal is thin! almost that of a 70's japenese import and seats are extremely uncomfortable! exterior body style is on target, resembling it's older more durable sibling the "Charger",
Could be better

Love the exterior look. Interior is very confined with not much leg room. This car likes to eat things up if you happen to drop things. Floor is to high up makes for an uncomfortable sitting experience. Acceleration is terrible and you feel like the car is literally barely handling the amount of power it takes to drive on a freeway. Fuel economy is also terrible.

worst car I've ever rented

This car is unbelievably bad. Steering wheel is hard to get under when getting in even when in its highest position, the low top of the side-window area is easy to hit your head on when you get in and out, the cup holders are in a lousy position and too far behind the driver, the visors are in the way even in their highest position, the seats are uncomfortable, and the locks make an obnoxiously loud noise when they self-lock after a minute or so when driving. These are just first impressions since I probably haven't had time to find the things really wrong with the car. I have recently rented Ford Fusions and Chev Malibu's which were much better (I own a Lexus GS, but am not comparing it).
6 Speed Transmission Shitfts Early

After owning my Dodge Avenger R/T AWD for only 1076 miles (no payments made yet!) my transmission has begun shifting way to early causing a tranny chatter. For example between 40 and 50 miles an hour the transmission has already shifted into 6th gear. Grrr. Instead of down-shifting the tranny "chatters" and shakes. I truly love the car and hope the dealership can repair it quickly without problems. Waited my whole life to buy "new" and it's going into the shop before the first payment is due!
