  • A few problems but I am happy! - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    Right when I bought the car I had to put an alternator on it. There are a few other things I had to buy, but what do you expect, the car had 151,000 miles on it. The road noise is very loud. To fix it I bought some better speakers to quiet down the noise. The power steering pump makes al ot of noise as well. That will be the next thing to go out. I think the rims should be recalled, the clear coat is peeling off and looking really nasty. If you like the outside of a car buy it. That is what I did, and I am glad I did!

    I love this car. My only complaint is the turning radius is unusually wide. And if you get lost a lot, like I do, U- turns can be a hassle.

    When I first looked at it I thought it was too sporty. Great V6 growl, but no real power. Claimed 170hp at about 4800rpm when the timing changes. It set me back in my seat. It handles like a sports car, and has room for 4. Love the huge trunk. The only problems, twice the battery light has come on. When the light was on and I flipped from bright to dim the radio lost power as if the ignition was turned. I also had a problem starting the car. Like it was still in drive and wouldnt even turn over. Thought it was the starter disabling of the security system.

  • Best car owned - 1999 Dodge Avenger

    I got the 4 cylinder (420a I4) auto. The car somewhat lags in acceleration. So I put in some cheap mods (headers and cold-air intake), for a little extra acceleration. The car is best at higher speeds (i.e. passing someone). Very fun car to drive. Its mainly a show car.

    One of the best cars I have ever owned, would buy another on Tomorrow. Every body comments on this car and thinks it cost more than it really did

  • Better than most Dodges - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    This is my second Avenger, first was a 1995. This one has been more dependable than the first. Have had no major problems until the last month or so. The Antilock Brake lite keeps coming on, get it checked next week. Dealership had to clean black goo (body coating) off the door sills. Overall I really like the car. Got rid of the LOUD, ROUGH RIDING Goodyears and put Dunlops on, What a great improvement that was!

    i have had no trouble with it and it runs great. its fun to drive.

  • Overall - a good car - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    I bought my Avenger new. I looked around at cars from Chevy, and others from Dodge, and decided on the Avenger. Now two years later, Im very pleased with my decision. Overall, its a very dependable and forgiving car, typical of the Dodge/Mitsubishi cooperatives Diamond Star vehicles. The power put out by this car is generous, but does not match enough with the cars agressive stylings. Still, it has plenty of power to keep me in trouble (generally commuting 45 miles each way on interstates at 80 MPH). Fuel consumption is still good at 32 MPG.
