  Nice Looking but a Little Fragile - 1995 Dodge Avenger
  By zecashman - March 1 - 8:22 pm

  I purchased this vehicle in October and have since driven 5000 km. Before we get into the problems Ive had with this car, it is important to understand that I paid $300 for it and it had been sitting for awhile. Service records were non-existent. Problems so far: Brake pads and rotors (normal wear and tear) New Tires, ones on the car were bald. oil change spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor (all have to be replaced every 100,000km. Mine appeared to be original. Wheel hub bearings So far the car hasnt given me any unexpected trouble, save for a broken door handle (cheapest door handle ever). Parts are cheap, except tires which are ridiculous. Snow tires and winter rims cost $1200.

  amazing car for me - 1995 Dodge Avenger
  By draney - August 31 - 10:40 pm

  I got this car oct 9 2008 and sadly wrecked it a month later all my fault though. In the short time though I drove the car over 5000 miles. I loved it. When I got it it had over 199k miles on it and the motor was still strong.

  Much better than expected - 1995 Dodge Avenger
  By Jack Flynn - August 1 - 6:47 am

  Not really a Dodge, but a lengthened Mitsubishi Eclipse. Bought as a well used temporary ride. Keep it for its good looks, reasonable trunk space and rear seating room. Also for its nimble handling. The 2.5 V6 has more power hidden in the higher rpm range and can be found by manually shifting the poorly-suited automatic transmission. Fuel mileage can be 30+ on the highway on overdrive at 65 mph. Low ground clearance and roof line make parking curbs a danger to the soft nose and egress something of a chore. But on, particularly, back roads, the car is a fine grand tourer and a 5-speed would have transformed the car and increased its sales. In the main, an enjoyable ride worth owning.

  Best car I every have owned - 1995 Dodge Avenger
  By Teresa - May 30 - 11:22 pm

  This car despite many problems always have done well for me. I get 27mpg in city driving, and 34mpg in country or interstated travel. Folding down the back seats was a plus for me in hauling dirt, lumber, craft things for a show. I could pack more into this little car than most people put in a truck and still make it over the hills. Its 165,980 miles on the car and still putting away despite an oil pump problem I cant find anyone to fix. Everyone says its not fixable. But I never regret this car, its been the best dodge car I ever have own. and Better than my last car which was a Ford tempo.

  I want to scream - 1995 Dodge Avenger
  By fink - July 21 - 10:12 pm

  I love this car. Its exactly what I wanted, until I bought it. Ever since I got this car, Ive had nothing but problems with it. Tires, brake, fuel pump, sensors, and now theres something wrong with the transmisson. It never goes into gears and it eats gas like crazy! However, when it does work, I love it.

  My Used Avenger Experience - 1995 Dodge Avenger
  By voradtralundir - November 19 - 2:00 am

  One major issue during my time with this car: the PCM had to be replaced and took a long time to diagnose. I have driven 80,000 miles on this vehicle since I purchased it used. The previous owner did not take good care of it and even went curb surfing with it. Despite that, the car has been very reliable and resilient. Excellent performance from the 2.0 litre engine and economy that shames some other four cylinders: A personal best of 37 mpg on a 200 mile trip to Virginia Beach. I love this car.

  Good car so far - 1995 Dodge Avenger
  By Justininflorida - October 8 - 2:00 am

  I have a 4cyl 5 speed avenger and have not heard the 4cyl having all the problems the V6 has. The car looks great inside and out and is very fun to drive. It could use more power, although the 4cyl with the 5 speed stick is a tick faster than the V6, which are all automatics. Overall I love the car although I wish a little more attention was paid to durability.

  Great car - 1995 Dodge Avenger
  By Boicourt - January 6 - 2:00 am

  This car is my fav over all the cars that I have had. I feel like Im in a race car every time I get inside. I have had to put a little money into the car, but it has over 130,000 miles on it so it is do for some work, nothing major (rear bearing assembley). I plan on adding more poformance parts and turning her into a concept show-car.
