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.

Dodge Avenger Heat is nice!

This car was a purchase for my son, who just turned 16. It is the Heat addition, which as far as I can tell, is the performance version. It has 79,000 miles, but is in great shape. It is an attractive car, think mini Dodge Charger on the outside. The interior is nice looking, with decent materials and fit and finish. It's not a Bentley, but it's very nice for its cost and class. It has many nice features, including a moonroof and bluetooth radio, and all of the extras work well and are intuitive. The car is rated at 19 city mpg and 29 highway. It has the V6, which is strong and fun (maybe too much so for a 16-year-old, but I digress). Most importantly for a new driver, it has a lot of safety features, such as front wheel drive, airbags everywhere, traction control, and, of course, antilock brakes. It was also an IIHS top safety pick back in 2011, so if anything can make me feel at ease with my soon-to-be licensed son driving around, this car is it.

Avenger Review

2010 Dodge Avenger R/T 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
3 of 4 people found this review helpful

I really like our new car, gas mileage is wonderful and it is fun to drive. I do have a couple complaints: after it rains the trunk holds water then when you lift the trunk it drains into the trunk. The touchscreen is too bright at night and can't turn it down. Also, the middle console is not designed very good. The cup holders are hard to reach and the little tray in the middle is back to far.

2011 Dodge Avenger Lux 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

I have just purchased a new 2011 avenger lux edition with the 3.6L V6 this car is great have only had a few days but all you have to do is sit in this car. and your sold the comfort is amazing, My car came with the all black leather interior, loaded. then when you drive this car the interior is so quiet its hard to believe. The new V6 that I have been hearing about and now driven myself. has awesome hp and torque, put together with the 6 speed auto-stick transmission. this is the perfect combination. Chrysler did an amazing job on this car. will write another review after I put some miles on the car.

2010 Dodge Avenger SXT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

We bought a 2010 avenger sxt in Feb 2010. Right of the bat the A/C stop working on high. The Dealer wanted $125 just to tell me what wrong, then another $200to fix it said the part was NOT under warrenty. Then the brake light started coming on and going off. another $125 to look at and $325 to replace the parking brake switch. Now the computer is resetting its self on the climate control switch and you have to park the car pull the fuse out and put back in to reset. Just a headache from the time we bought. The transmission is very weak the motor is turning 3000-4000 rpm traveling the interstate at 70-75mph. I will never buy another Dodge Avenger!!
