2014 Dodge Avenger

Overview

Despite a thorough update in 2011, the Avenger has become less competitive as it nears the end of its life cycle—2014 was its last year in production. While it is attractively priced and the optional 283-hp V-6 is a honey—skip the base 173-hp four-cylinder if at all possible—most of its competitors drive better. The interior has surprisingly nice materials and a fair amount of technology.
