Priced at $18,895 including a $675 destination charge, the SE is the least expensive option among the 2008 Dodge Avenger offerings. With that entry-level sum buyers get a front-wheel-drive midsize sedan powered by a 173-horsepower four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, air conditioning, a CD/MP3 player, 16-inch steel wheels, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, keyless entry, and the usual array of electronic goodies such as power windows. Realizing consumers’ clamor for value, Dodge also included cruise control, front-side airbags, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and a tire pressure monitor. The piece d’ resistance is the Chill Zone cooler atop the glovebox, which draws air from the a/c system and chills up to four beverage cans.
