• "Avenger disappoints with crude drivetrain behavior, unsophisticated road feel, and budget-grade cabin appointments. These demerits are offset somewhat by aggressive pricing and an impressive complement of key safety features."—ConsumerGuide¹

• "Spacious and fuel-efficient, the 2008 Dodge Avenger is a viable entry in the midsize sedan segment. However, its love-it-or-hate-it styling, budget interior materials and tepid driving dynamics are liabilities against the talented import-brand competition."—Edmunds.com²

• "In a category where the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord rule, the Avenger looks like an also-ran, although it represents a good value."—Car and Driver³
