2009 Pontiac G8 Sedan or 2009 Dodge Avenger SXT?

[cody]

I'm looking for a new car and it has come down to these two, they are both within $200 of each other so price isn't an issue. The G8 is used but only has 4,000m, the Avenger is new. Please give me feedback from previous owners, or just your opinion on the two vehicles. Thanks so much!

I signed up on this forum just to answer this question for you so consider yourself important. I'm a Mopar guy through and through so take this with a grain of salt.

The SXT is a midlevel model on the Avenger. It has few standard features and the engine/transmission combination isn't all that appealing. It's also a midsize car so a better comparison would be with the G6.

The G8 base has a lot of standard features (remote start...) and has a better fit and finish. The Engine is a good powerplant (same as used in the cadillac). It's also a full size car so you'll have more room. A better comparison for the G8 is the Charger.

If they were the same price and the G8 only had 4k on the odometer it's an easy choice, get the G8 man.
