What can I say.. .as I suspected Clarkson was wrong.... he’s probably never been near a Dodge Avenger..... It’s fantastic! The 2.0 CRD SXT has everything, and I mean everything: ABS, EPS, remote CL, climate control, heated leather seats, heated/ chilled cup holder, chiller cabinet, electric adjustable seat, steering wheel stereo controls, cruise, tyre pressure and MPG monitoring, compass, temperature sensors, front/side/curtain airbags, etc. Think a fat demanding American, this car meets his every need, and goes further. It even has a glow in the dark boot release handle in case you get car jacked and stuffed in the boot. Equipped with the MyGig the 20 gig hard drive stores masses of MP3s and photos, DVD player, Eurpoean SatNav, amazing radio, voice activated controls, uConnect telephone system.. The CRD engine is VW and very efficient. Does have a strange burble sound at low revs. On the motorway it wants to shoot past the legal limit, bags of power. The handling is great. The ride is soft, but doesn’t lean. The styling is striking. Brute like looks, the envy of boy racers. Better equipped and £5k less than a basic 2.0 (140BHP) TDi VW Passat. It’s not rocket science.

I love the Journey! Much better interior then in the other Dodge cars (Avenger and Caliber). It’s roomy and flexible. It’s probably the best bang for buck family car on the market!

The Journey has been a very good vehicle and has done over 10,000 trouble-free miles. The MPG is decent as long as you do not regularly get stuck in traffic. I have two dogs and this Dodge can accommodate them both in comfort. There is plenty of load-space; a great alternative to the S-Max.

I’m leasing my Nitro over 2 years. For £120 a month I couldn’t go wrong. I never tire of its looks, which are truly aggressive with a typical massive front flat grille that all Dodges have. I have the SXT 3.7 V6 in black with the 20" low profile rims. Not had any of the roll issues that others report, so I think the bigger wheels must help. The V6 is FAR superior to the rattly Italian diesel that the CRD models use. It’s smooth, very torquey, and quite powerful at 210bhp. Average MPG is 23, which given its size puts it ahead of a Merc ML370 V6, or a Santa Fe V6. Leather seats are kinda cheap and hard. But I found that several coats of Liquid Leather helped. The trip computer and digital compass are cool as is the digital tire pressure gauge telling you the pressure of all 4 wheels. The 9 speaker Infinity sound system with Subwoofer is out of this world. Far superior to the Harmon Kardon system in the new Range Rover Sport I have compared them side by side, and the Dodge’s system is way better. Incredible bass. Neat little tricks like the bar graph above the rear window so you can see your parking distance at the same time as looking in the rear view mirror is really neat. Overall, given its price, and the package you are getting I think it’s a very good buy if this is the type of vehicle you are looking for.

I have this car on lease for two years. It is very smooth on the motorway and has a very comfortable driving position. The engine lacks pull; certainly for a two litre and the auto change can be unpredictable when pushed. Otherwise a competent car that really is great value for money.

Wow factor for sure! I have a Black SXT diesel auto - have to say that I am still enjoying it, it still gets looks where ever it goes. If your bored with the average 4 x 4, the Nitro has been fun, mpg - average @ 27 mpg.

What a slug! A Lada would see it off. Fuel consumption poor, I’ve never yet achieved 30mpg. I’ve had to convert to LPG to be able to afford to run it. If this is the best America can produce then my advice to them is not to bother. Ps - I forgot to mention the noise.

I’ve just bought my wife this car from a dealer in Bury (absolutely fantastic service), I can’t believe what value for money you get in this model, leather, auto, heated seats.... the list goes on and on, so smooth to drive and brilliant driving height, could not recommend this vehicle enough. I am so impressed looking at either the Nitro or new Journey for myself.

Having owned a 2001 Chrysler Neon auto for 6 years, and needing another car...a 2008 Caliber SXT CVT (Auto) fitted the bill for interior quality..... leather, heated seats,cruise control, etc...etc. The engine performs even better than the Neon, and is much quieter I cannot fault the Caliber at all.........oh yes.....they omitted the drivers left foot rest on the auto! Excellent value for money.....and more room than a Ford or Vauxhall!

A real beast. It’s very poweful but there’s no getting away from it’s size and it is a big car. Great fun to drive and certainly turns heads whereever it goes but a nightmare to park. Still love it though.

I recently test drove this car as I was looking for something a little different than the usual run of the mill saloon cars on offer. First impressions were good, it’s definately an impressive looking car and I really wanted to love it but after a very bouncy ride and a closer look at the interior, which looks a bit cheap, I realised that there are better saloons out there for the money.

If you want something "different" then this car is a good value, spacious family hatchback that does offer value for money.

I bought this Dodge mainly because of the looks and the reviews seemed pretty positive. Apart from the fair economy of the vehicle I am disappointed with most of what the Nitro offers. Also, if I’d realised how badly it was going to depreciate in value I would have looked elsewhere. Distinctly average.

I’ve had this now for 6 months and fell for the wow factor of this 4x4. It’s a really impressive looking car and I’ve been stopped loads of times at petrol stations and in car parks by people wanting to have a closer look but, and unfortunately there is one, the roll on this can sometimes make you feel queasy and whilst initially I felt the engine noise was reassuringly rugged, it’s now just irritating. It’s definately a solid car and very reasonably priced but it’s thirsty, noisy and I’ve fallen out of love with it very quickly. Will probably have to take a hefty hit on my wallet too when I eventually get rid - you live and learn!
