2012 Dodge Avenger consumer reviews

The vehicle is very stylish and handled extremely well. Although it is a mid-size vehicle, but felt like sitting in a full size car. Well job done, Dodge!

I had a suzuki forenza before i got the sxt avenger... NOTE never again will i drive a foreign vehicle! Since ive had this avenger it makes me feel like i finally got a car worth the money, very nice fast and smooth ride love the stereo system and interior also... Go test drive one you will love it!

I recently rented a 2012 Avenger on a trip to western North Carolina putting 1100 miles on it. While it had plenty of power, it was horrible on the winding roads. In the hills in the area when we would have to take a left hand banked turn the front pillar would block all view of the road and we were forced to follow the white line. And vision out the side window is also a joke. I'm about average height 6'0" and seeing was out either side was difficult always required assistance when changing lanes and backing up. The gas mileage was ok but compared to my '04 Accord it wasn't as good. The other two passengers thought that the seats were uncomfortable and interior was mediocore. The trunk space was ample but the back seat was cramped and getting carseat in and out was difficult.

Purchased my Avenger 4 months ago and have 5,000 miles. I researched the car a lot on line before and after the purchase and the negative comments that the, "car experts" write about this car just are not true. The interior is the best in class with great head room and finishing touches that make you feel like you are in a high dollar vehicle. I find that the front and back driver and passenger room is mush better than the sonata and competitive with the camry. The trunk space fits my golf clubs and enough luggage for a family of three to be away for a full week. The car corners like it is on rails to coin a phrase and is very quit to drive. The options that are available at purchase are second to none. Give this car a try you will love the styling inside and out.

The 2012 Avenger takes the look and feel of the charger and boosts the fuel economy. If nothing else, i would say that they downplay the actual numbers as i get about 26 to 28 mpg around the city and usually about 35 mpg on the highway. not bad for a car that is certainly not small and certainly doesnt feel small

Thats the question i was asking myself . After doing alot of research on many midsized cars: Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Ford and Chevy I ended up buying the Dodge Avenger SXT plus. This car was amazing it has a award winning pentastar V6 that pushes out 283 hp, you hear close to no road noise do to the 45 new antinoise technologys and the handling its very responsive.. Dodge has really stepped up to the plate with this car. There is no if and or buts about it. This car is really in a class of its own. Im getting 29.8 mpg highway for a almost 300 hp engine thats amazing. The interior is very well put together everything is soft to touch no more hard surfaces and the rear LED lights really sets it apart I am very happy I bought this car its not boring by any means Ill Rereview this car again at this 30k mark

I have had my Avenger SE for two weeks. The cost for it new was only $16645 and it is fully loaded. The car is avg. 25 miles to the gallon. I have had many compliments on the blue streak color along with the bold chrome grill.I had a Kia Soul before this that was a good car but this has a much better ride.So if you want a car with a low price good fuel mileage, smooth ride, and five star safety rated at least take an Avenger for a test drive.

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.

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. At stop light if you pump pedal, you can hear roaring noice from Engine. Dodge better try good interior . Good luck Chrysler! Cheers Dyno.

I recently got a 2012 Avenger SXT Plus (V6) as a company car. I'm in my 50s and in sales (once in car sales) so I've driven a lot of different makes & models over the years and have a pretty good understanding of cars. Even though Chrysler upgraded the Avenger in 2011 and most the reviews were very positive, I was somewhat hesitant ordering it, after all . . . an Avenger? But since it was the only car in my choices that had a V6 I ordered it and crossed my fingers. Now that I've had it for a while all I can say is this car is phenomenal, especially for the price. Because of my job I rent a lot of cars including the over hyped Camry, the Sonata, Altima, etc. All nice cars but the Avenger stands right with them. Super quiet, super fast (much faster than the others) and super smooth. It is a blast to drive, much more so than the boring Camry, Altima or Sonata. If you want a cushy, nimble, light car feel then get one them. If you want a tight yet smooth, sporty, heavy / solid car feel then the Avenger will give you that. You feel much more part of the car which I like. Exterior and interior fit and finish is top notch. Much improved over the older models so I have read. MPG: 19 - 21 city, 28 - 30 Hwy. Incredible for a car that will also get you from 0 to 60 in less than 6 seconds! If you're in the market for a new mid size, you have to test drive a 2011 & up Avenger. Don't be surprised that it ends up being your next car. I'll do a follow up review after 25,000 miles
