I bought my 2013 Avenger as a left over in March of 2014 with only 15 miles on the odometer. My first experience as a Dodge owner was with a 1996 Intrepid that my wife thought looked pretty nice and said I should try it out. It had 45,000 miles when I purchased it and I drove it for the next twelve years and when I finally gave it up it had 325,000 miles on it. Naturally I was drawn to the Dodge brand and the Avenger was a sporty looking car and I needed something to teach my daughter how to drive in. My other kids got to drive the Intrepid. I really wanted the Charger, but opted for the smaller sized car. Still not a bad choice. I opted for the 3.6L V6 engine since that was what my Intrepid had in it and have never been disappointed. the only problem I have encountered was when the car was about three months old, the transmission seemed to lock up one time as I was rolling to a stop sign. I couldn't get it to go into gear, but after towing it to the dealer and having them check it out, they found nothing and it never happened again. I now have almost 100,000 miles, I drive it a lot, have been through two sets of tires, change my own oil every 5,000 miles religiously and keep it a clean as I can living in North East Ohio. It's a blast to drive on the twisting up and down roads even in the snow. One of my co-workers drives a Subaru and he couldn't keep up with me one night. Sometimes you get bad cars, sometimes you get good cars. I work in the Auto industry and all the parts come from the same bin no matter who buys them. If you take care of your equipment, it will take care of you. If you like a sporty car, not too big or small with lots of power, this is your ride. 9/20/16: I am still driving my Avenger which now has 143,000 miles on it and still runs like it did with 15 miles on it. Last Winter I had to have the heater core replaced which was a bit expensive ($1,200.00 to be exact) because to access it they have to remove the front dash. The local Chrysler dealer where I bought the car did a nice job fixing it but did not clean up after themselves very well (hand prints all over the front windshield) but I got a free oil change in return so all was forgiven. Other than another set of new tires and rear brakes, I have had no mechanical issues at all. I still dream about owning the Charger some day but this car looks like it's going to be with me for a lot longer. Still love driving it and I plan to beat the intrepid's record of 325,000 miles. I'll let you know. Well, it's now March 2020 and the Avenger is still going strong. One more payment and it's all clear. currently 156,000 miles and no complaints. The car stays outside all the time and so far not even one rust spot. I try to keep it clean as much as possible, running it through the touchless wash when it gets too salty. Performance is still as good as when it was new, though I am thinking of having new plugs and wires put in just because of the mileage, nothing lasts forever after all. I still have not done anything special to keep the car performing, just driving it every day. I have an hour commute to work and some weeks it's all seven days. Love this car, can't wait to see how far it will take me. I could use a new set of floor mats, especially the drivers side as I have worn a hole in mine from the heel of my foot going back and forth from the gas to the brake pedals. Small price to pay for such a fun ride. It is now April of 2023 and I still love my Avenger. There have been a few minor things I am noticing, but I'm sure that is just what comes with age. The car still looks and drives great, as promised, I had new plugs installed and finally had to replace the battery. I was noticing a ticking noise, as if a valve was ticking or something, so I had the dealer investigate. Turns out I had a broken rocker. They repaired it for me because the car has a lifetime engine and powertrain warranty, that is nice by the way, and everything is back to normal. Current milage is just under 200,000, should be passing that milestone soon, pun intended. Still has good power and acceleration. I have gone through a couple of wheel bearings, but my local shop replaces them cheaper than the dealer, and offers a lifetime parts warranty, hard to find these days. The only other issue I have is that the interior panels on the front doors are coming apart at the window edge on top. not a really big deal, but it's annoying and looks tacky. I've tried stuffing it back in a couple of times, but it keeps coming back out. Overall, very satisfied with this car.

You must buy this car with incentives to get a great deal. We paid $16K and got a great trade-in price. This car is great looking, fun to drive, not to bad on gas and gets some great comments. The 2.4L is fine for everyday driving but if you want to super acceleration opt for the V-6 with 283HP. They should do away with the 4sp auto have the 6sp auto as standard, but it's not that bad. The SE exterior looks super sharp with a little bit of chrome tweeking. The interior is great looking and functional. The trunk has plenty of room. The handling and ride are superb on this model and better on the more expensive models. You can't go wrong with this car and the average family can afford it.

Best Kept Secret In Ride and Power

2014 Dodge Avenger R/T 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
35 of 39 people found this review helpful

I traded a 2013 Dodge Dart turbo manual for a 2014 Avenger with the 3.6 Pentastar because I wanted an automatic again and the incentives were high. Best move on a new car I've ever done on a new car purchase. All I ever read were so-so reviews about the Avenger over the years. But I figured I'd take a chance on it since it had the V6 power and some extra styling Bling. (I did not get the R/T, but this site did not list the SE version with all the add-ons I got). What a car! Super Comfortable, capable handling, doesn't look like every other Asian cookie cutter sedan on the market these days and..... wait for it..... POWER TO SPARE. Best kept secret , the 3.6 Pentastar!!! Fantastic!

So I purchased a 2013 Dodge Avenger three months ago. I bought it because the price was great, the car looks great, and it fit what I wanted and needed in a car. The car overall is exactly as Edmunds describes it in that it does have sluggish acceleration in the 4 cylinder. It is comfortable and has some nice added features to it. The Bluetooth works great and the car is a pretty good build for what it is. Be warned the gas mileage is on the low end compared to many other cars in the same class. That is the biggest downfall for what would otherwise be a great car. So far my car has not hit its estimated MPG rating at all which was a little disappointing.

The SE model I recently purchased is a great car. I love the Sporty look, it rides good, and runs good mechanically. The radio is a the basic stereo for this vehicle. No rear view camera, no navigation or touch screen options. I'm thinking about upgrading just for the rear view assistance. The windows aren't as wide as what I'm used to in a suv. But all in all I'm pleased!

We bought this Avenger SE after looking at several others cars. We checked a few others that we liked the looks but they were 3K+ more. We loved the looks of the Avenger, outside and inside. I was surprised at the great ride, it was a little on the firm side which I prefer, like sports suspension. The 2.4 has adequate power for the average person but for the young at heart, the 3.6L has more than enough power for the amateur road racer. The 4sp Auto is standard on the SE, Dodge should dump it and make the 6sp. standard on all Avengers. Look for all the incentives for a great deal!

I have the basic se model with the 3.6 engine. I did look at a few other cars but was able to get this one in my price with the v6 vs others that only had a 4 cylinder. The v6 is nice and much better than the 4 cylinder in the avenger. I also did not give up much in MPG vs the 4. The ride is not bad at all and the seat are just find for my wife and I. MY son likes the pull down cup holders in the back seat. The Avenger is only a little smaller than some of the cars in its class but it's because of this that I liked it. It makes it much easier in parking lots and tight spaces. Be careful backing up because of the blind spot which is bigger than most cars. Overall I really enjoy this car.

I have owned this 9 years I love it! when I accelerate on the on ramp it really moves with the v6. Has a big trunk, I have 142,000 miles on it, only brakes and oil changes, battery, spark plugs new tires I have been lucky with this car. I don’t want to drive a crossover or SUV. This is my 14th new vehicle I did the mini van with kids. Either I am just lucky or I treat my cars well. People always tell me my car looks brand new. 2023 I still love this car, No way would I drive an electric vehicle, nor do I want to look like every person driving and SUV just a different color. My last Vehicle was a Jeep Compass big mistake tie rods went out shortly after 36,000 and then traction control I traded that in for this car. I also get 25 MPG , I can't complain.

Good car for the price, not super loaded with bells and whistles but gets us from A to B with out any problem. Comfortable as far as we need bought it new in ‘13 and have 45k miles on it, no major issues with it and it seems to be holding up well. The back seat is small and not comfortable but we don’t need to use it often. No leaks and did the front and rear brakes along with new tires recently and were good to go! The only problem was the power mirror switch went out at about 40k but was inexpensive and easy to replace.

I have had more than 25 cars in my life. Of those I have purchased 5 new cars. This is the worst new car I have ever owned and one of the worst overall cars I have ever owned. It overheated within 5,000 miles of ownership. An orange grime appeared in the overflow tank and when I took it to the dealership they told me they had seen it numerous times and it was casting material that had not been completely flushed from the system at the factory. The cruise control would refuse to turn on at times and the dealership could never reproduce it so it never was repaired. It just became an issue I had to “live with”. Fit and finish is mediocre at best. The plastic surrounding the radio and middle vents in the dash never matched and again, the dealership stated replacing it wouldn’t change the gaps or the poor fit. The car had a surge from the day I bought it. It also would start up and surge after a cold start, as if it were running too lean. After three new releases of programing for the engine management computer the surge was still there. It would surge at 25-35 mph and at 60ish mph. For 178 horse power this car has undesirable and inexcusable torque steer. Leave a light from a stop and the car will pull hard right. Leave the light under hard acceleration and if you don’t have ahold of the wheel you will do an un-commanded lane change in short order. The transmission never shifted smoothly. Going uphill it would hunt for a gear. Each time the transmission changes gears the torque steer pulls on the steering so going up a hill you are constantly correcting. The airbag warning light went off at 50,000 miles. Source was a terrible design by Dodge. There is a bungee cord pulling down on the wire bundle that leads to the headrest airbags. Place a 220 pound man in the driver’s seat with this bungee cord pulling on the wires and you get broken wires. Doesn’t take an engineer to figure that one out. Overall – Poor design, poor build quality, poor economy, horrible dealer support (or lack thereof) and a car that appears to be built to die in 5 years or less. *UPDATE* Chrysler has stopped production on the Dart, 200 and Avenger. These platforms were substandard compared with others in the same class. Since I created this review; I have traded the Avenger for a Nissan Altima. I traded it with the same company that has sold me my last 5 cars. The best they would offer me for trade was $5,600. Trouble from the day I purchased it, poor MPG, mediocre quality and a horrid resale value.

Update: Sold this piece of shit for the balance due on the loan. Even the dealership that bought it acknowledged how awful of a car it was. Clearly there is a reason they stopped making this model. It was a great car for about a year. Then one thing after another. Constant repairs. Weird unexplained noises. Electrical issues. Several people have complained on message boards about the same problems. Needs to be recalled for several of the issues.

I bought this vehicle mainly because of USAA reviews and price. I am extremely satisfied with it. My gas mileage is above the stated mileage. Last trip of about 130 miles I averaged 34 mpg. The acceleration is a little sluggish but that is what you have with a 4 cylinder engine. It is comfortable during long trips and very roomy. Both myself and my wife are not small people and we do not have any problems with roominess. The only problem I have had is that the manual states 4.5 qts of oil including oil filter but when I changed the oil and added exactly 4.5 qts it only showed half way within crosshairs on dipstick. I called the service department and was told that is normal.

I know many are mixed reviewed over the SE model because of its barebones technical design and engine but I love it. I enjoy lesser computerized features as it is a less expensive car to repair. The gas mileage is actually not that bad at all, not the best but not nearly as fatal a flaw as some reviews have stated in my opinion. The V4 engine on the SE model is definitely powerful for a V4 and its sound makes it sound closer to a V6, which I’m sure is the allusion that Dodge wanted. It accelerates well for a V4, especially for a car of its weight but it does fall a little behind Mazda is that department. If I had to fault anything about the car, it’s the design. It looks great but the look comes with some flaws. First is the same issue I have with the Charger, and that’s the cheap fiberglass body that dents at the slightest touch. Second is the huge blind spot when backing up the car. It’s low roof and tiny windows does make this car (with no rear view camera) tough back out. So overall, I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as some might say about it. It has its flaws like most cars but it definitely gets the job done.

I love this car. I have had quite a growing family since purchasing this vehicle brand new in 2013. 9 years later and driven from Louisiana to Pennsylvania, to Texas, never having any major issues. I keep up with regular maintenance. Repairs haven't been expensive. This has been one of the most reliable cars I have owned. My kids love the car. It comfortably seats 5. My husband is 6'4" and prefers driving this car. Now teaching my 16-year-old how to drive and it's been a great experience. I highly recommend this vehicle. The only cons are that, if you like a vehicle full of up-to-date features and technology, this is NOT the one. It is very basic. It is an advantage for a new driver. Fewer distractions. I recommend it overall, based on my experience with reliability and affordability.

My last car was a 2004 buick lesabre and i swear if i could go back i would have just kept that. Even with its age it was 10xs more reliable than the avenger. Dodge will never get my business again

This is the best car I have ever had. So much so I even bought 3 of them at one time at the same dealer!! It's fast too!! It beat a POS german BMW with lame blie white and red stripes on the grille. Never underestimate American engineering. The Germans have nothing on this. I have beaten so many other vehicles on the road that my front left wheel is throwing sparks from the insane speeds that this vehicle can reach. There is so much torque that I could tow half of Mississippi after free pancake day. If only Dodge still made this vehicle I would buy a fourth...maybe even a fifth! My heater also works every time each time. It has never leaked on me. German engineering can't match that. Also, purple cabbage is good for you.

Okay. So I have had my 2013 Avenger for about a year and a half. I'm sitting at 68,700 miles. A few months ago my brakes completely locked up and I couldn't even move my car. Cost my almost $1,000 to get it fixed. Now not even 3 months later my brakes are squeaking again. Terrible on brakes! Also a current issue.. I don't know if it's the transmission or what, but the entire car feels like it's vibrating and the steering wheel is especially wobbley. I hate it. It's so annoying! I will be trading this car in as soon as I can afford to and I will advise everyone who is looking for a new car not to purchase a Dodge Avenger. Terrible car!

Make sure your thermostats are working. Anyway this car handles awesome and the 4cyl is pretty quick too. The sound system is decent enough that I'm not going to change it until I blow a speaker. The trunk space is big too. Your tires are 225 which is awesome for a little car.

I bought my 2014 Dodge Avenger brand new and it has been in the shop on a regular at least twice a year. It is a lemon! I would not buy one if I were you! The Alternator alone was $600.00 with parts and labor. They had to build an entire new Ignition system that was not covered under any warranty so out of pocket another $1000.00!!!! Then the fuel injection stopped firing properly so another out of pocket $700.00! And now I turn the key this morning and nothing ! Battery is good ! Looks like another electrical issue with the ignition system. Totally unreliable car! I had to buy a used Honda just to have something reliable. My little honda has 175,000 miles on it and it is way more reliable than this Dodge Avenger!

I have owned my car for 2.5 years now and have had minor (typical) issues with it. But by and large, it has been amazing, I’ve been on numerous road trips with it (and gotten amazing gas mileage). It has random quirks, but none that really impact my love for my car. 💯

Better Than The Accord

Mine is the SE V6 model, but there is no option in the drop down for this trim level...Anyway, this is one of the best cars I have owned. The Pentastar V6 seems to be pretty solid and it has plenty of power. For a 6 cylinder I'd say mpg is about average. The transmission seems a little weak, but I also bought it used with 100k miles so it's been through some wear and tear. The trunk is roomy enough and the opening is very wide. The rear seats folds down 60/40 and has a passthrough behind the armrest for skis or 2x4's and whatnot. For being a base model the interior actually feels very nice with all upper dash and door panels finished with soft touch/padded materials. The technology is quite lacking, as it doesn't have factory Bluetooth, but at least it has an aux port for music. The backseat isn't huge by any means, but I fit comfortably at 5'10''. Reason I am comparing to an Accord is because I had a 2015 Accord LX before purchasing this vehicle. In my opinion, the interior is finished to a much higher standard and there are no rattles. Every interior panel in my Accord seemed to rattle over the tiniest bump. I give the Avenger 4 stars because there are some areas that are not the best. Old technology, plain steering feel and major rear blindspots. I definitely recommend getting blindspot mirror attachments. They've saved me multiple times. Overall it is a great car. Nothing special, but definitely gets the job done.

I feel like I hit a home-run with this one. 2014 RT Avenger was inexpensive new and I picked it one year used and what a deal. It’s roomy with all the bells and whistles but it’s best quality is it’s powerful, responsive engine. I’ll be keeping this one long after it’s paid off. Florida so no issues with rust so easy 10 to 12 years.

I just purchased a used 2014 Dodge Avenger. I have always been a Chevy guy, but lately I don't think they are putting out the quality of a car like they used to. So far no complaints. I had to learn how to get in and out of it without rolling out onto the ground first. The first thing I do is make an appointment with my mechanic to get all the fluids and filters replaced to give me a starting point on maintenance. I expect to get years of trouble-free miles from this car, unlike some of the other reviews I've read. I may have minor repairs such as a water pump, alternator, or starter. That I can fix and don't mind doing myself.

I purchased my Dodge Avenger in 2015. It had 10,000 miles a year old and one owner. I had troubles with the transmission since day one but everytime i took it back to the dealer...they couldn't duplicate the problem. My engine just blew and no warning. Now i have a $7000 loan with no car and its only 5 years old. I will never buy another dodge again

Bought a 2014 Dodge Avenger RT new and it has been one of the best and most reliable cars I have ever owned. Has a fun sporty look and great performance from the 3.6 engine. Get 34-35 miles per gallon on highway if you drive it at reasonable speed. Great car

However designed the seats should be FIRED!

The front seats have a horrible design flaw. The non-removable head rest tilts your neck 45 degrees forward. After driving for several hours, I was sick with a headache. My friend drove the next day and he got sick too. Another person rode as a passenger and she got sick. You won't notice the bad design in a test drive but you will notice it after about an hour. How did such a bad design ever get approved? So far, everyone who has spent time in the front seat of this car has become ill.
