2008 Dodge Avenger Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by daveydoo17

Exterior styling

Different from any other mid size car. I like the slab look over round look of most cars today.

Fuel economy

So far it been great 28 in mixed driving. I would say 50/50. Equals most other four cyclinders in power and MPG.

Powertrain performance

Moves just fine in traffic and most hills. Get a little winded up long grades in western mountains of the US. It as smooth and quite as others. Engine does get noise above 4000 RPM but so do others.

Audio & nav systems

Get base sound system I was suprised.

Controls and instruments

KISS design (Keep It Simple Stupid) Only need what is important without those tiny distracting buttons that have no purpose being in cars. Many will say it boring but it all business, which is refreshing.

Brand reputation & image

Dodge is not on most people list. Other company provide more for the same price. Sad that many will take the word of most reviews and stay away from this good car.

Interior styling

True the plastic is below most taste. But fit and finish is about the same. After 50000 miles the car is tight and little noise comes through the cabin. Seat a little hard for my liken but overall I can live with car and would recommend it.
