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.
Pentastar or No Star!

The V6 Pentastar from 2011 - 2014 was the best engine built by anyone at that time period. No goofy direct injection issues . No start/stop engine turn off at stops. No finnicky turbos. No turning off of several cylinders at cruising speeds.
This Dodge Avenger has been so unreliable

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 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 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.
