2009 Dodge Avenger - Reliable, dependable, and comfortable.
The vehicle is a 2009 white Dodge Avenger SXT. It is a V6 sedan. I have owned the car for 9 years now, and it has done a fine job holding up over time. It is a smooth comfortable ride. It has a great navigation system, and overall, the technology in the car is fantastic. It has a nice roomy truck and front driver and passenger seats, however, the back can be somewhat cramped. The car has had a recall on parts which there was an issue getting the car from park. I cannot remember all of the reason but basically a piece was defective and caused your car to be stuck where ever you were parked. The car gets good gas mileage for when it was made. The battery to the car is located behind the driver side wheel. The front tires are a different size compared to the back tires, which cause a bit ... (more)

The battery to the car is located behind the driver side wheel. The front tires are a different size compared to the back tires, which cause a bit of an issue when being replaced. The tires tend to be pricey compared to similar cars. The car has a nice sleek look to it with some strong edges. It is finished with a spoiler to add a nice look to the car. The car comes with automatic starter, which is such a great feature especially if you live in an area with either extreme cold or extreme heat.
A memorable story would have to be when I was driving and the mirror flew off. I figured out where my battery was and had to change it.

I really enjoyed the features that came with the car. The navigation and system inside the car have been fantastic. I find the car, at least in the front, to be one of the more comfortable sedans I have ever driven. The car is spacious and comfortable to be in for long trips. The technology system is user friendly and has been something that really attracted me to the car form the beginning. The leather was a good quality, and the heated seats work quickly to heat up. I thought the music system for a stock system was top notch. I have owned the car for some time, and they still sound great... (more)

I thought the music system for a stock system was top notch. I have owned the car for some time, and they still sound great. The car gets pretty good gas mileage considering when it was made. The car comes with automatic starter, which is such a great feature especially if you live in an area with either extreme cold or extreme heat. Another great features is that one of the cup holders can help to heat or cool your drinks. There is also a cool compartment about the glove box where you can hide unopened beverages and they can keep cool. The compute system does a great job of letting you know what is happening with your car. They will notify you if anything is in need of being checked out.
The only real issues I have had is the top liner began to fall after about 7 years. I know that is a long time to own a vehicle but seems pretty early for your liner to fall, considering I was a young single adult without kids. Also, the leather driver side seat wore out pretty quickly. I typically don't ever have anything in my back pocket so that was disappointing. Also, the white cover on the front side of my rear view mirror flew off the first year of owning the car. It was pretty expensive to replace, and I feel it was a faulty piece to come off that easily. Also, the battery is loc... (more)

Also, the battery is located under the driver side tire. It is an extreme pain to change the battery. You have to complete remove the tire and take the plastic cover underneath off. To not damage the plastic, you need a special tool to remove it. This can be an extreme pain considering over the life of owning a car you may have to change the battery a few times. Also, the car had two recalls, one I cannot remember, but the other had to do with something happening during shifting out of park. Besides that, the car has been a pretty good car.
2009 Dodge Avenger - Reliable but bumpy.
Its a very nice looking car, and sounds great. The sound system is nice, and the mileage is okay. Nothing too great, maybe 20 mpg. I've only had the car for almost 2 years, and the only issue I've had with it is a certain part of my suspension that keeps breaking. Overall, its a great starter car for me. It looks better than most of my friends' cars, and I got it used for a decent price.

Driving it back from the dealership the first day I got it has been my favorite memory so far. I've only had it a couple years, so I haven't had many memories in it.

Spacious interior. Great speakers. Bottle cooler/warmer. Engine sounds beefy. Good control. I was very surprised by how well the sound system performs for an 09 vehicle. Handles amazing, sounds beefy and has a cool looking spoiler-type deal on the back.

There's a certain part of the suspension that is very susceptible to breaking and creating a bumpy ride. I've had to have this part replaced twice and I now have to get it replaced again. Gear shift can be awkward sometimes, it seems like the car 'stutters' when it hits 40 and shifts. More so than usual.
