Good car till you put mikes on it

Let’s see where do I begin.At first it was a great car then at 60,000 miles radiator went out. Then Ac. The parts under the hood are made of plastic crap. Took very good care of it but at 151000 miles transmission was gone. 130000 miles the clock spring broke and the horn would just sound while driving. Started stalling out at 50000 miles too. Great acceleration and gas mileage at first but not a long term car. Big plus is that To get to the battery you have to remove the front left wheel. Unreliable long term. I will never buy a dodge vehicle again. Never

It gets me to where I need to go.

I am honestly an easy person with vehicles, as I don't know or understand them enough to care. But this car works for me. I'm 6'5 and have enough head room. It takes turns with out feeling like I'm about to fall. Great gas mileage. Had my first issue at 90,000. But it was human error, rock lodged in wheel near the break. Had to have new breaks and calipers put on. Works great still. I haven't had to take my care in for anything other than oil changes. And the periodic maintenance as needed.

Decent little ride

Not exactly what I wanted but not disappointed at all. Monthly payments are way below expectations. Very happy to see it has a CD player (although hidden) and also came with SiriusXM..Just wish the Uconnect was enabled!!

Very reliable.

Vehicle is very reliable. We have put a lot of miles on this car. We've traveled from PA to NC and back numerous times over the years. Many, many trips from our house to our daughters college in Pittsburgh PA , which is 2 hours away, every weekend for 2years. Trips to OH. Trips to Myrtle Beach. My husband has a second job as a pizza delivery person 2 days a week for the past few years. We are definitely getting our money out of this car. When we purchased this car we were told it was a rental car. So it has definitely been run. We love it 💜

This is my first car and I love it so much

I bought the Dodge avenger 3.6L SXT and this is the best car I've drove so far, it is so comfortable and easy to take in hand.

Reminds me of the Plymouth I used to have...

I love the style and comfort the most. It's small but big enough for my large dog or a child's car seat and she is pretty darn nice on the gas mileage! They didn't have the color options I was hoping for but I am getting over it. Digging the heated seats as well.

Good car

It did what I bought it for! I?ve had it for six year and it?s still going strong. It now has about 175k miles on it. It?s in its second motor however.

Great Purchase

I love how smooth this car drives. Best test drive I had done all day, and was sold when I drove this car. Very spacious, but doesn't feel like you are driving an SUV.
