Under its skin, the 2008 Dodge Avenger shares much of its hardware with the redesigned 2007 Chrysler Sebring, though the more upscale Chrysler doesn’t have access to the Avenger R/T’s sport-tuned (borrowed from the European market) suspension. Not surprisingly, the R/T has been engineered to offer a stiffer ride, while lesser models aim to provide a confident and comfortable ride. The basic suspension setup for all Avengers includes MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link setup out back; the R/T gets a rear stabilizer bar and optional all-wheel drive later this spring. SE and SXT models get standard front disc/rear drum brakes, while the R/T gets standard discs all around and ABS.
