  • 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.

    I am surprisingly impressed with the Avenger. Only thing that worried me was I heard bad things about the transmissions in them, but I installed a cooler and just changed the fluid regularly. I have 140,000 on it now, and I have NEVER had any problems- Engine, tranny, or otherwise. How many cars are like that now days? Cant say the same about other import/domestic hybrids I owned...Good job Dodge/Mitsubishi!

    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.

  • Love my Car - 1998 Dodge Avenger

    Well I have only owned this car for about 6 months but I can tell you that it is an excellent car for the price. I got all the cool special features I wanted for a reasonable price. The only thing that was a problem was if you replace the stock deck in the car you cant have the factory amp hooked up, and I have blown a few of the stock speakers but thats probably do the the weather in Michigan. Other then that small inconvience, its a great car

  • All around great car - 1998 Dodge Avenger

    Well first of all its a affordable version of the viper :). It has a low stance with a front grill similar to that of the viper. It rides like a dream and has few flaws. I havent had any major problems, just the normal routine repairs. I love every aspect of this car, but maybe could use a bigger engine :)

  • good car bad brakes - 1998 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    This car has been very reliable for me however, this excludes the rotors on my cars front brakes. After having the replaced several times ( for free-- they were replaced before i bought the car and crysler warrents their work for a year. ) I decided to buy some cross drilled rotors. this has solved that problem - other than some oil consumption this car has been rock steady. I have blown a few of the "infinity" speakers. but the humidity in michigan is probly to blame for that. replaced the eaisily bent rims ( dang potholes). its cheap to maintain, but sucks fuel in the winter. the transmission is slow, not the car.

    We have had good luck with this car. Besides being fun to drive, its sporty without the sporty price. The car has all leather and gadgets not common to some cars. Such as the one touch window rolldown and garage door opener built into the sun visor.

    I had the 5 speed Inline 4 cyl engine. I never had any problems with the car, but only kept it for 3 years and 57,000 miles. Nice low aggressive stance that took turns at an aggressive speed.
