Before you sign for the Avenger

Specs, explained
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 10.2 L/100 km works out to about 31 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.81, and a 300 km weekend about $47.43. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the Avenger suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
What the Avenger is like
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 340 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Drive the Avenger on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $158.10 at our price setting.
