  Love it - 2008 Dodge Avenger
  By Chris - September 1 - 2:23 am

  I bought this car for my son and myself to drive. Its been a great car and gets great mileage. We bought the 4 cylinder and am totally happy so far. We have around 10,000 miles on it now and it gets right at 30 miles a gallon which you have to love! We get lots of looks because its sporty and its Sunburst Pearl Orange. What a beautiful car! For the money it is a fun, economical car.

  I really love the design of this car. Its sporty and was reasonably priced. Would like to of had the RT, but that was pricey. The interior needs to be a better quality. It looks cheap. I think spoilers should not be an option, keep the car sporty. I am buying a spoiler, looks much better. Would recommend to everyone. Mileage is great, do not have to fill up at every gas station you pass.

  Good in the snow not in the show - 2008 Dodge Avenger
  By Ken - January 4 - 6:46 am

  When I initially purchased this vehicle I did not care for the interior, however I kept telling myself it is for the wife! And this was her choice! interior is low grade plasics that retain dirt! sheet metal is thin! almost that of a 70s japenese import and seats are extremely uncomfortable! exterior body style is on target, resembling its older more durable sibling the "Charger",

  This car is peppy and takes hills very well. Sharp styling. Fun to drive. Check out the paint before you drive in home from the dealer. I noticed when I got home a few imperfections in the paint. I have Silver Steel metallic and its great. Plenty of room on a trip with kids. Dont think because its 4 cylinder thats a dog. Its a 16 valve.

  Wonderful Classy Car - 2008 Dodge Avenger
  By Beyswife - September 6 - 8:30 am

  I was looking for an SUV and decided to check out the Dodge Nitro. Didnt like the ride at all, too hard. Noticed the Avenger on the lot and thought it looked classy. Test drove it and unexpectantly fell in love..Purchased on a whim, on the spot. Love this vehicle!

  Nice ride - 2008 Dodge Avenger
  By JMM - August 9 - 9:06 pm

  Just bought this car and couldnt be happier. Did quite a bit of shopping and comparing before I purchaed it. Looked at the Caliber hard too since its the same platform. Handles great, very quick although slightly doggish when the air is blasting 0-40. The transaxle shifting is very nice and it looks great. Gas mileage on the first tank was around 25.

  By Matt - April 7 - 9:40 am

  I drive a 100 miles a day to and from work. So far I have only 1400 miles on my R/T but I love this car. The performance and looks makes driving fun again. Its comfortable and very driver friendly.

  Love my Avenger - 2008 Dodge Avenger
  By veepersgirl - February 26 - 11:36 am

  I never thought I would go back to a car after driving an SUV, but this car changed my mind. It is fun to drive, sporty and comfortable. The only downfall that I have found is that the fuel mileage is not so good in town.

  Love It - 2008 Dodge Avenger
  By David - January 13 - 8:43 pm

  Very sharp looking with a 3/4 Charger look. Rides firm, solid without being harsh. 6 speed automatic shifts quickly and smooth with no lag between gears. Mileage is same as advertised. Full of features like the upper bin that keeps soda cans cool and the hot or cold beverage holder in the console. Both ways work excellent. Interior lighting at night is awesome - almost like high end aircraft! ATC keeps temperature inside constant, no dialing up or down needed once you find your comfort zone. 3.5 engine is quiet and the exhaust has a really cool, high performance sound.

  I absolutely love this car - 2008 Dodge Avenger
  By Darrell - December 11 - 6:26 am

  I got one of the first on the lot and fell in love with it at first sight. Great styling. Pick-up is great but Im no rabbit and the worst mileage Ive gotten is 28.1 with 32.2 on a recent long trip. Sure is nice to drive 7+ hours before I have to fill up with cruise control set on 73. Im over 60 and its easy to get in and out of. The interior is well laid out and very quiet. Love that can cooler and 6 CD changer for long drives. Fold down rear arm rest is the best yet for passengers. Trunk is humungous and makes it easy to stash lots of stuff. Also love the dual-level console with the sliding arm rest so I can put it where I need it. The adjustable lumbar support is great.
