Like almost every other aspect of the 2008 Dodge Avenger (aside from the styling), the ride offers little to separate this sedan from the rest of the pack. Admittedly, because of Dodge’s pre-determined driving route, pushing the Avenger to its limits was not in the cards, but there was enough seat time to discover a compliant ride, a suspension setup that capably tackled rough pavement and was a bit on the stiff side even in SXT trim, and steering that added some weight at speed but felt vague at times. The R/T cruised through wide sweeping turns with ease at surprising speeds, but again, more responsive steering was in order. Wind and tire noise were evident but not intrusive.
