Other Choices:

Comparing the Avenger's base four-cylinder model to others in its class, it lags far behind much of the competition because of its coarse, ever-present sound and lack of refinement. In comparison, the new Malibu's four-cylinder is refined and quiet, as is the Altima's. The Sonata and Optima offer a more comfortable, quiet ride and nice interiors that feel better, even if they aren't as exciting to look at as the Avenger's. And the Fusion feels especially sporty and nimble compared to the 2008 Dodge Avenger; its interior has a basic design, but the materials are better. Roominess is one area where the Avenger does pretty well; its backseat feels capacious and has enough headroom for adults, while the backseats in several of these vehicles--especially the Altima--can be tight. At the six-cylinder level, the Avenger R/T brings a lot of features and a sporty feel for about the same money as more sedately equipped V-6 rival models. It's perhaps the best value in the lineup, but even here, its inferior-feeling interior, lack of ride refinement, and perceived quality are grounds for dismissal.

    Are you realistic?

    I was on a longterm assignment in Canada and the reantal car company gave me a base level SE Avenger. You know, the one that you said was coarse and unrefined. Well, I lived with it a month. I have also drive a Ford Fusion for a month on a previous assignment and my wife has Lexus. Here is what I thought of the cars:
    Ford Fusion was quite nice. Even for a base 160 hp car I thought its performance was good. But, it was not as nice to get in and out of as others, particularly the rear seat. Never had a problem with it.
    Dodge Avenger. Not quite as nice as the Ford. But, I did like the ergonomics as I am rather large. The Dodge was reliable, got pretty good gas mileage, and had lots of space.
    My wife's Lexus is nice but what gets me is that it really isn't that much nicer then either the Ford or the Dodge. And, it cost her over twice as much as either of them (but she is the Queen, of course!).
    Bottomline, I bought an Avenger SE for less then $17,000. So far it is everything that I wanted. I just don't see how you can beat it for the money.
