1998 Dodge Avenger Sport review from North America
"Fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes need replaced every 15,000 miles or so.
Extensive bumper damage, due to the car being so low to the ground.
Transmission blew at 9,500 miles, but it was covered under warranty. Dodge replaced the whole transmission and gave me a free rental car.
General comments?
The car is fun to drive and has not really given me any more problems since the new transmission- 3 years ago.
