Own 2013 for 4 years. Kept up Maint. Great Car.

The car does just what I need. I have Flex-Fuel 70k, with 6 cyl. Engine, still as quick as ever. Drives great, but the front suspension is weak in my opinion. Changed out struts and a few other parts in front. Still a little front too heavy, still want to stiffen it up. The blind spot is a problem, might look clear but may not be, very dangerous changing lanes on right side. TOO MANY CLOSE CALLS. Except that, GREAT CAR.

2.4 ltr avenger!

very nice car...enjoyable to drive...quick at certain rpms!....(im sure the v6 is better), but I really like this 2.4ltr(rather large 4cyl engine)….decent hp..(torque is low)....but this car can fly when u need it to!...handles well! stops nicely...gets away from stop light fast enough!!good fun car on twisty country roads, and decent passing power on highway...a couple of things went wrong...I had them fixed...not too expensive....seems to be a reliable car...

Most fun car to drive since my 20s

I've always been performance-oriented. First car I called my own was in 1965 Dodge Coronet 440. 10 years ago I had a Chrysler 300M. This car drives and performs better than either one of them. It just does everything well... handling accelerating and stopping. It's not the wild performer the ex State Patrol Pursuit car was that I chose it over but it had 90,000 fewer miles and a whole lot nicer look for the same price.

Blown headgasket at 60k miles

Bought this car used with 20k miles on it. Brakes always squeaked no matter how new the pads were. Started running hot so I took it into the shop, replaced thermostat, overheated on my 7 minute ride home from the mechanic. Went back, new water pump, still overheated. Now needs a new headgasket even though I stopped driving after it was running hot. Shouldnt be an isssue on a car with only 60k miles.

Starting to fall apart with only 34,000 miles

I’m a short person so it fits me ok, however anyone over 5’6 can’t sit in the back very comfortably. I got A recall took it in to get it fixed then my transmission started acting up. Took it back for the service person to tell me my car has been missing 3rd gear and looks like it’s has never engaged in 3rd gear. So either 4K or 6k to fix it. Of course it’s no longer in warranty with only 34,000 miles due to age. I’m 80 years old I can’t fix it or buy a new car. Disappointed in the car, Dodge and dealership.

It's a shame that Dodge stopped making Avengers.

It has good pickup, drives well, holds the road, is comfy. A great bargain for the money. A nice option for those of us who can't afford a Challenger or Charger.

Perfect car for my son.

As soon as my son laid eyes on it he knew he had to have it. This will meet his needs of driving to work everyday and will be great on gas.

I will never buy another Dodge. It's still pretty but I'd like to be able to drive my car. Engine is worn out at 68000 miles
