My Avenger was purchased with economy in mind.  We traded a 2002 Concorde and was scepticle about ride quality.  The mid sized Avenger rides about the same as the concorde.  Gas mileage improved from 17 city to 23 city and from 21 hiway to 32 mpg.  the Avenger has the 2.4 inline 4 cylinder verses the concorde's 3.5.  The cars weight is only a couple hundred pounds different.The Avenger has a short turning radiusand is very easy to handle.  turning corners is just as easy as handling a high speed curve.  It is a driver friendly vehicle and is fun to drive.  The only thing was getting used to where all the controls are.  Everything comes off the steering column.  The speed control has it's own lever on the right side of the steering wheel.  The turn signal/light control switch is incorporated into one lever on the left of the steering column.  Finally the wiper control is a lever on the right of the steering column.
The perfiormance of the vehicle is remarkable for the 173 horsepower 4 cylinder.  It will still accelerate like a small V6.  The four wheel disc brakes stop the car real good with no swaying.  The car will stay in a straight line.  I would not hesitate to run a slalom course in this car, it would be fun.
The Avenger just turned 7300 miles and I have had no problems with the car.  The only maintenance on the car has been to rotate the tires and an oil change.  Dodge did a good job as to filter out noise.
The exterior styling (what can I say) it is a "Baby Charger) with front wheel drive.  The blue pearl paint gets many people's favorible comments.  The interior is driver friendly.  Everything ig easily within reach of the driver.  The dash is easy to read at a glance.The sattelite radio with a 20 GB hard disc drive is great.  It also has a hands free bluetooth device incorporated into the radio.
This is a very fun car to drive.  It has fantastic looks and makes you feel good to be seen in it.  I would recommend this car to any one.

the dodge avenger has great handling. the turning radious is very good. braking system is top notch. is had awsome acceleration....0-60 in bout 3 seconds i do believe. it hasnt needed any repairs and theres nuthing wrong with it. it comes with a built in navigation system thats completely up to date. siruis radio and its all on a touch screen. the air can b put on automatic and kicks in very fast and the tempurature chosing goes by degrees so you know what degrees your setting it too. the gas milage is great.we filled it up about half way through pennsylvania and had to drive home to connecticut. we didnt need to stop to fill up. it is a very fun car to drive and its very easy to go super fast in without even thinkin of it. and its got a sun roof!

I love it.  Great gas mileage and beautiful exterior.

Awesome car, 2.7L engine is what you would expect, good gas mileage with pretty good performance.  Very sharp looking car and the aftermarket parts companies are catching up quickly so you can make the car your own.  I have the boston acoustic sound system,... absolutely great sound quality.

I have the SXT with 2.7 liter flex-fuel engine.The engine is a high revver but needs more HP and Torque.Car looks great(Marathon Blue Pearl),nice interior.Great sounding Stereo System(Serius sat radio),18" Alloy Wheels.
