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!
Sporty Good!

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!

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 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.
