Ranking	Details
#1	iffy at first Source: Edmunds ...Bought this dodge avenger in jan of 08 and pretty much bought for the lifetime warranty. Well a couple months down the road it needed brakes they wanted the rotors and pads to be replaced after 13kyeah right i replaced the pads myself and have the same rotors still. The next problem was the paint on the rear quarter panel in the lower corner behind the back door needed to be repainted after 15k. brought back to dealership they told me design flaw dodge wanted nothing to do with it. but dealer offered to split fix and make better. i thought oh boy this car is going to be a...
#2	Love this car! Source: Edmunds ...I only have 600 miles so far on this car, but I can see already how good it is. The biggest improvement I see so far is the interior quality and ride quality which is far better than the 2010 that was traded in. Almost no wind noise at highway speeds. It handles much better than I would have expected. So far, I have not found any flaws with this car...its perfect. Too early to gauge highway MPG, but I expect it to be better than my 2010 which got 37.5 mpg on the highway. I am very please with this car and suggest anyone who has not driven one yet, give it a try...
#3	Dodge This and other Dodge Bullets Source: Edmunds ...This is a 2008 Dodge Avenger Red SXT. Lets start 2010 Transmission problems my miles are over warranty. 2011 Check engine light stays on. 2011 clear coat starts to bubble and peal from spoiler. 2012 paint is bubbling on the hood when Dodge was notified stated they may not cover it that a rock could cause the paint to bubble. Dodge keeps Dodging the bullet on car issues. Last Dodge and Chrysler vehicle I will be buying. Look up on the internet about Dodge vehicles paint bubbling on vehicle hoods then you decide...
#4	My 2008 Avenger R/T with 3.5L V6 and 6 speed transmission is a thrill Source: MSN Autos ...Purchased new in 2008, and the all-new Pentastar motor (3.6L) is slightly better and chain driven motor, not belt driven. Cons: Blindspots and had to add stick on (non-heated) convex mirrors. Overall: Excellent handling, superb performance, underestimated by most in acceleration. When you really hit the gas, the dual exhaust will howl nicely. 28.5mpg on hwy in WV., VA., NC mountains at 78-85mph and a/c on. 55-60mph on flat roads gets you 34.2mpg. Running around city/hwy combined (flat land) 23.5mpg. This car was rated at 16 city and 26 mpg hwy...
#5	Style and quality are back with great looks Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: Great on fuel mileage, looks sharp, rides great, glad we bought it. Cons: None Overall: Highly recommend this car...
#6	Best mid size on the market Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: Red pearl is the best color that dodge has come out with yet. Performance in this car is better than any of the GM,or Fords we drove.Gas MPG's are better than rated. Cons: None that I can think of. Overall: Have and still own several G.M. cars and trucks ,but the "NEW" Dodges are a big step ahead of what they use to produce.Still will drive Chevy trucks ,but traded our Chevy in on this new 2012 Advenger and could'nt be happier ! Gm has nothing that can compare to it...
#7	I'm very satisfied with this car Source: Edmunds ...First It is a 2012 top safety pick. I think the avenger is really nice looking.... I chose the bright silver exterior with black interior. It has nice quality materials and craftsmanship. The 2.4 engine has all the power I need and gets great mpg. If you want to race once in a while get the v-6 version, it has over a hundred more horse power... be careful "laughs". I also like the way the avenger feels on the road... It has a very comfortable ride. It also handles curves well, the steering and brakes are responsive. To sum up the review. I love driving this car!...
#8	Avenger for life. Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: I love how comfortable this car is. I get compliments on the looks all the time. The gas mileage is great, and it has a lot of get up and go ( even being a 4 cyl.) Living in Wisconsin I go through a lot of different weather and this car feel very secure on the ice and snow! Cons: The back window is small. Overall: I dont think I will buy a different car unless it is a newer version of this...
#9	My Little Charger Source: Cars.com ..."I got the Avenger in the SXT trim with the Blue Streak color. I love the car so much and it's perfect for me since I'm not the most experienced driver. I really wanted the Dodge Charger, but seeing that I wouldn't be able to afford it and that like I said am not to experience I was recommended the Avenger by a few sales associates at different places. Yeah the engine is a a bet noisy but I like that too. I am looking forward for many travels in this car."...
#10	Nice look outside and inside is a cheap plastic Source: Cars.com ..."I had this car as loner while my Town & country got warranty issue from dealer. It looks nice outside and the minute I entered you feel all plastic and not finished properly at all. I think this car worth 1/4 after 2 years of driving. You better get Sonata or Accord or Camry for this money (21K). I like Fusion for this money. This car is not worth for money at all. Seats are bad and even back seat looks cheap...
