  • Her name is Ruby - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    Ive had this car for 5 years now and it has been great. Ive only had two major repairs. I had to replace the ball joints and the timing belt. other than that, normal maintenance is all that is required and the car runs beautifully! I take a road trip twice a year and the car always holds up nicely, better actually because it just wants to be driven! In California, we dont have to worry too much about the cold so this is not an issue. to this day it only has 100,000 miles on it and I will continue to drive it until it will no longer drive. Im sure I have at least another 5 years with it!

  • This is Love - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    I bought this fancy car over 230 miles away from home in Pennsylvania. Ive been through the best and the worst with this car and every time I turn it on, it returns the favor. Ive made some additions over the 3.7 years Ive own the car, however nothing that takes away from the original showmanship. There were very few problems with this car and most of them were self inflicted. The only issue I have is that I dont have a manual transmission. Keep up the maintenance and the car will give you years of service. This car drives even better than it did the day I bought it. It ages like wine.

  • 300.000 miles and running excellently - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    We bought this car with 235,000 miles to travel driving to Mexico in 2008, not only we did that, now we are in Argentina with the same car after 65.000 miles of adventure, fun and good memories. The best buy ever and a good friend to have. I only can say thanks to my car.

  • 245,000 miles, no problem - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    I bought my beautiful car in 2005. I have 245,000 miles on it and have only had one tune up and spent not more than 2,000 in repairs. Except the time I got ripped off for about 1,500 from the Dodge Dealer.

  • Is it worth it? - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    I got this car in June of 2009, it was a 1999 dodge avenger. After 2 weeks of having it, and being a new driver, the ball joint on the top right went out! Not only did that accident freak me out but so did the price to fix it (940.00$). this car is bad going over pot holes or divits in the road. The engine also has an odd tick to it. Not the best for a first car. Sun roof and stock sound system are pretty sick.

  • Very Reliable and Gorgeous - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    My dad purchased the car for me in 2006 (in Ohio) when I was 18 its paprika red and had almost 75,000 miles at the time. I brought my son home from the hospital in this car and it has kept us safe for 2 long, and sometimes quite harsh, winters. I recently moved to Texas and it had absolutely no problems driving the 1,300 miles here. The only thing you have to watch for is hitting the front on the sidewalk or wherever you park it sits very low to the ground. I have had no major mechanical problems in the 3 1/2 yrs Ive owned it just replaced front tires. It now has 110,000 miles and still going great its almost paid off and I look forward to keeping it around for the next couple years!

  • Great Handling, Be careful in the winter - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    Best looking, and best handling car I ever owned. Pleasure to drive. The only thing I wished I had was a larger engine, both for safety and for performance reasons.

  • just bought it and i hate it - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    the car is a decent car but has way too many problems the car does have some power to it which i like but the cars brake burn out way too quick the transmission does not shift good at all after a couple of days the car clunks on every single bump (i know what that problem is) too much ride noise cant see that good out the back window i mean come on not everyone is that tall i do like the power everything sunroof but that dont matter if after every stop sign your car dont move and also after reading all the dangers from other websites i would not recommend it at all

  • Maybe its just me... - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    Ok, so maybe its just me but I have had nothing but problems with my Avenger. It was my first car, I got it last year for about $1500, and between normal things and major things, I have spent over $3000 fixing it. Distributor went, MAP senser went, and now it just wont start so its sitting in ym driveway. Main ignition fuse blew 2 times. Stalled 3 times in 2 months. I love the car, just had too many problems.

  • Black Avenger - 1999 Dodge Avenger
    By -

    This was the first car I bought on my own and my third car. As they say 3s a charm, it sure was with this one! I bought it in the winter and it handled like a charm. No problems in good old Chicago winter! Perfectly balanced, sleek, aerodynamic and easy on gas. I had it for 9 yrs and it ran like new for all that time, I ended up trading it for a Pontiac g6. Bad idea on my part! Im still looking for one now.
