Overview & Reviews

Base Avengers get new standard equipment, including the 2.5-liter V6 and automatic transmission from the uplevel ES, new cloth fabric on the seats and standard 16-inch wheels with luxury wheelcovers. A sport package is optional. A power leather-trimmed driver's seat is included with ES trim for 2000. Two key fobs come with the remote keyless-entry system this year, and two new colors are available. The Avenger will be completely redesigned and take the Stratus nameplate for 2001.

• Good looks, roomy back seat, low price.

• Weak and thrashy V6, automatic transmission only.

  Nice Look Weak Engine - 2000 Dodge Avenger
  By Icekool - April 22 - 2:00 am

  I just recently bought the 2000 Avenger Es & I think it is a great car for the money... It is sharp looking and has some pep to it. The only downfall is it looks faster than it drives...

  The car fit me perfectly. Stylish on the outside, simplistic on the inside.

  decent buy...just dont look at resale! - 2000 Dodge Avenger
  By Kilbrie - February 26 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car for my wife. I decided on this car based soley on looks, and the fact that every review mentioned that the quality was much better after 1999. It has been a reliable car and has given me no major problems, but I will not own another one. After 40,000 miles, there are numerous interior creaks and groans, the interior light keep blowing, the motor has developed a "tick" and the transmission is shifting is very sloppy.

  By ihatedodges - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Avenger in the year 2000 brand new, it was sticker priced at $22,740. what a ripoff....to find out its worth $8,500 now.....talk about a let down...This car only looks nice,it rides rough, is slow as hell, it is too small, uncomfortable, every single item on this car is pricy, special, or hard to find....I most likely will not buy a Dodge product in the future,,,,service and parts absolutely stink.............

  FUN, SPORTY CAR - 2000 Dodge Avenger
  By ALIFS - October 31 - 2:00 am

  I HAVE NOTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT MY AVENGER...EXCEPT THAT I HAVE TO GET RID OF IT DUE TO THE FACT I HAD ANOTHER BABY. MY SEVEN YR OLD CAN CLIMB IN AND OUT OF IT EASILY BUT ITS LESS CONVENIENT TO GET MY THREE MONTH OLDS CAR SEAT OUT OF IT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAR BUT IM REALIZING THE SPORTY FUN CAR MUST NOW TURN INTO A PRACTICAL MINIVAN OR SOMETHING :(

  Great Car, Turns Heads - 2000 Dodge Avenger
  By Mark Silbernagel - June 12 - 2:00 am

  I had a leased Olds Alero (2000) to compare against -- and found that the Olds felt more bouncy (had sport susp. opt). The 17" wheels must help the ES. The Avenger feels longer and rides more smoothly (nice), and is also more quiet. Steering on winding rural roads is a little different (less sport tight) than the Olds but comfortable nonetheless. Body noise and fit are much better on the Avenger. GM does nice things with the technology (like using antilock sensors to determine when your tire pressure is low) but between the two I pick the Avenger ES. Mark
