    Original owner of a rare ES with 2.0L 5-speed. Had to wait six months just for the factory to build it!!! 140,000 salt-free miles and the paint looks great. Best of all I get 32MPG in mixed driving. Still love the interior cockpit layout and the clean yet aggressive exterior styling. I only wish todays Moper had something that could replace it if I wanted a new car. Other than the usual wear items,my only problem was a reoccurring hesitation issue at low RPMs starting around 90,000 milestried everything to fix it! The dealer tried to tell me I babied it too much and caused carbon build-up on the valves? Nope! Recently replaced the crank sensor and that seems to have taken care of it.

  • Best Car Ever - 1998 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    Bought this car from a lady in 03 with 67,000 miles on it. I now have 140,000 and it is still going strong. The only problem I had, was the ball joint broke, but Dodge fixed it. My car is a 4 cylinder 5 speed which is faster and quicker than the auto 6 cylinder. The car handles like a dream and rides perfect. Gas mileage is about 30 miles on the hwy and 22 in town. Run this car till it dies, probably buy another new Dodge avenger because of this one!

  • Better than Eclipse - 1998 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    I bought this car last year at a buy here pay here lot. You can tell it had had a rough life because of some damage. We took this car under our wing and started with a few minor repairs. In no time we had this car looking good. As far as the motor goes, oh my gosh, blows away the Eclipse. My boyfriend absolutely loves this car. The power is amazing! It has 180,000 miles on it and still running strong.

  • Thank goodness for mopar "Mo"! - 1998 Dodge Avenger

    Well, I actually just got into a serious accident with this car. Poor Mo (I always name my cars) was writen off when a lady hit me after failing to stop for a stop sign. The car is in rough shape! I walked away with literally only a bruise to speak of. The car saved me! I mean I loved this car, how could you not? This is one hot lookin car! Even though it was eight years old I always had people stopping and asking me about my car, commenting on how the exhaust sounded or how the engine purred. Now begins the hunt to find another Avenger.

  • I love my gorgeous Avenger ES coupe!!! - 1998 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    I bought my Avenger in September of this year, and I have loved every second of owning this car. I have had no problems at all with it, and I hope I never do. It has 99,000 miles on it, and it runs great. It drives great, looks awesome, and the interior is so comfortable. I have seriously almost fallen asleep in the seats before. I am also impressed with the fuel economy. I couldnt have been happier with any other car.

    i love the car

  • Overall Best car Ive driven!!!! - 1998 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    This car is a great vehicle. Compare it to the Accords Ive driven, my brothers mustang, or the Millenium my parents have, and this car wins hands down. asog.net gives out the best help and tips. Take note that this car is tuned for WINDY roads, and so lacks the extreme power to go straight that you find in cars like the camaro z-28. She holds the road like nothing Ive been in. 0-60 for my car is 7.5 seconds.

  • good 5 years - 1998 Dodge Avenger

    The Dodge Avenger is a great car to commute in. The gas milage is good the sterio system rocks the seats are comfortable the engine has the power you need to get in and out of traffic the motor runs cool under hot conditions with the air on climbing a grade.
