Bought this SE Avenger when it was in the end of production.Dodge was throwing in almost every possible feature on a base model that made it look like the expensive R/T. The power of the V6 in a car at this price point is unbelievable. The seamless 6 speed automatic allows you to get frisky if you want to. Truly the last of an era in terms of appearance,value,power and comfort. Rides like a Cadillac. No goofy epa mileage junk on it either. Cylinder deactivation. 9 speed confused trannies.
Good gas mileage, comfortable seats and good controls. Horrible engine...the turbo has a tremendous amount of lag most especially from a stop. Already have a broken seat base cover, visor and major input to the stereo issues. Cheap interior all around except for the physical seats. Absolutely the worst turbo I have ever experienced. Do not buy one of these.
I love it, rides great, pushes you through the turns. The only things I don't like are: I've had to replace half the ball end joints ($280 after alignment) because they are not greased type (no grease zerk fittings) and in general the hardware used on this car feels cheap, and the tire pressure gauge stems corrode, I've had to replace 3 of the 4 already, the last one popped out and ruined one of my nice tires, ($100 tire, each TPG is $75 plus labor). Otherwise, I love this car.
Good Car, sturdy.. still rolling with 300000 miles
Great Car so far!
Love all the creature comforts of this car. The best features are the adaptive cruise control and the big touch screen. The seats are heated / cooled which is great. I would have liked the same cooling feature, which is used in the cup holders, in the steering wheel. After all, the desert heat in Vegas, would make cooling steering wheels a nice luxury. Would also like to be able to lower all the window remotely, like some other models do, but overall, the car is great. Handling is excellent.
reliable
Pros: acceleration
Cons: gas milage
it is a good starter car but it tends to need alot more care than some cars. I would recommend this car for a couple or a family with older children. The gas milage is decent as long as your are above a half a tank of gas. It is very spacious however and it a good grocery car.
