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 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.

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.
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!
