Avenger - '09 Dodge Avenger SXT

Despite what this post says, in my experience atleast, they're a quick little car.

I drive a 2009 SXT with a 2.4L Dual VVT and I have no problem with the power. Pushes 180(KM/h) easily, and there should be no need to go any quicker than 150 off the track. Acceleration is quick. I mean, don't expect to sit there and smoke your tires, but they spin if you try. It's peppy. As for the weight, it's meant to be like a compact muscle car. It's got good handling at any speed, and is very responsive. The stock speakers sound better than half the aftermarket crap my buddies throw in their cars. Odometer is at 63,372KM and I haven't had a single issue with it to date. Only thing I've had to do so far is Synthetic Oil Changes and just recently had to change brake pads. As for the fuel mileage, it's been pretty good to me so far.

That's my mini review. If you're thinking about buying one, test it first, don't just go by the reviews as everyone is going to have their own opinions.

As for mine, I love it!

I still think they should've made a RWD version with a bigger 6 or a small 8. Would've been siiiicckk. Despite gas mileage.

And for those of you that don't know, I believe it's this year or 2013, Chrysler is retiring the Dodge Avenger and the 200 is taking it over.
