  13 years old & still great - 1996 Dodge Avenger
  By AnnaMN - October 4 - 4:43 pm

  I originally purchased this car when I was 16 for its exterior look but after 7 years of driving it, it has proved to be an amazing car. At 146K it is still running great. The 2.0 4-cyl may not be the most powerful engine on the road, but it helps with fuel costs. Very comfortable interior, easy to drive great handling in all weather. Drove it back & forth to college weekly, has never broken down. Its time for me to get a new car even though its still running great, but I needed to pay tribute to how wonderful the Avenger has been. Will be sad to see it go.

  Wonderful Older Car To Own - 1996 Dodge Avenger
  By Arthur Johnny-john - April 25 - 8:28 pm

  I purchased this 1996 Dodge Advenger ES used from a buddy of mine this spring, he no longer wanted it because it needs a little of everything fixed or replaced due to its age. He also had a family now and it doesnt quite "fit" the familys purpose either, so I got it for $800.00 and have been driving it daily now for about 2 months now. It handles like a dream! Excellent power for having 180,000 miles on it and I plan on investing a lot of money into it to bring it back to better-than showroom... Im going to make it my dream project summer vehicle!

  Not too shabby - 1996 Dodge Avenger
  By Brittney - November 26 - 3:01 pm

  I bought this car for $800 and 161,000 miles on it. I really enjoy this car. Nothing major wrong with it, just general maintenance. This will probably last me one more year. It is fun to drive and has a great stereo system. I love the size of the steering wheel. The only con I can really think of is the turning radius and the low bumper. It sometimes scrapes the ground if youre not careful.

  Great sexy fun car - 1996 Dodge Avenger
  By Great sexy car - September 12 - 12:15 pm

  Love the sleek sporty look of car fun to drive at 134,000 miles have little more than normal maintenance. Reliable. Well built and beefy enough to feel save on cross-country driving as well as crowded freeway driving. Bright red, decked out with spoiler, moon roof, leather interior - always gets admiring looks even tho now 12 years old.

  great car - 1996 Dodge Avenger
  By ziggy445 - April 4 - 6:38 pm

  I bought this car new, and I do all my own maintenance. People will drive a car, not notice that it needs maintenance, and when it finally craps out, they blame the car. The only problems had were minor, and taken care of while the car was in warranty. The engine runs great, but working on it can be challenging, like removing the intake plenum to change plugs. After all the miles, there are some fluid leaks, but I will keep adding fluid until I can get the time to fix it. Overall, I cant imagine a car lasting better for the amount I drive.

  This car was a life saver - 1996 Dodge Avenger
  By Janet - June 9 - 10:33 pm

  Bought a 96 Avenger ES with 104K for my 17 yo son. The most important thing I can say about this car is that it was substantial and well built enough to save his life in a bad front end collision. Both airbags deployed and the car was totaled, but he walked away without a scratch. He is crushed about losing this car-his first and like a friend to him. Well designed inside and out--I found it comfortable to drive and am 50 yo with a young one in a carseat--easiest 2 door to get child in and out of carseat I have ever used- loved the way the front seats slid forward automatically. Quality for this American made car is exceptional and ergonomic. Handled well, fun to drive, no major problems.

  KING OF 96 - 1996 Dodge Avenger
  By WDunn2807 - May 12 - 8:56 am

  This car is my baby. My real only problem is the engine went out. Something in the cam and instead of finding the problem just had it replaced. That was a hefty $1400. And there really isnt much wrong with this car. If you want proof go and drive another car that is a 96. There you go thats all you need. For a 1996 car this thing owns the road.

  This car is soo Reliable - 1996 Dodge Avenger
  By Lady K - November 27 - 9:30 pm

  This is my first car and suppose to get me through college. 140000 miles and counting. Overall the car works mostly all of the time, only normal general maintenance is required ( tune ups, oil changes, etc..) Never really had any big expensive problems with it and Ive had it almost 6 years. Love It !!
