1999 Dodge Avenger Sport review from North America

Well. To be honest, not much. When I bought the car, the brakes needed to be changed, and that's about it. There were a couple things I should have taken a good look at and changed when I first bought it almost a year ago, but, still goes strong.

Right now, there's a few things I need to change.

Drive Belt squeals quite a bit, but I think it might just be a little too loose.

Breaks shutter sometimes when coming to a full stop, I think it might be a caliper sticking.

Got a strange squeak coming from my driver side's rear suspension. From what I'm told, it's just a washer that need to be changed.

Ball Joint needs to be changed too.

Oh, and finally, I THINK it's an O2 sensor. While cruising, the rpms drop down to 0 for less than a second, then jump back up to normal. Also had the car stall on me a couple times while driving/at a light. I'm 90% sure it's an O2 sensor, something that'll be looked at very soon.

All in all, very good, reliable car. It's my first, and I couldn't be happier with how it's served me this past year.

Starts every time, without fail. Even in our cold, Canadian winters.

Handling and cornering could be better, but, what do you want? It's not an F1 or a 350z. It's a Dodge Avenger, common people. If you want speed, acceleration, performance, buy a SPORTS car, not a sports car wanna be.

For a first car though, very good. Enough power to do what you want, but not too much power that could get you into trouble. Race-able, if you're into it... just don't expect to beat any preludes or anything.

Highly recommend it for a first car.
