2000 Dodge Avenger ES review from North America
"Very practical, very sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not one thing has gone wrong with my Avenger thus far. Actually let me correct myself, there was a recall on the front control arm joints, which was in-fact recalled and fixed before I knew what hit me. Other than that, nothing.
General comments?
The Avenger is a beautiful car and the performance is impressive for such a heavy car. If you're not racing anyone, you won't even notice it's not a race car.
The comfort is decent, I personally think the leather seats could be more comfortable. The ride and drive quality are hard to match.
The handling is probably the best part of the drive. I have taken it around some trying corners and the car asked for more and for faster. The car's weight however is a drawback on sharp turns, but I am working on losing some excess weight.
Another drawback is it's quite difficult to find aftermarket parts, such as performance modifications and other parts that you could find anywhere for a Honda Civic.
