1998 Dodge Avenger ES review from North America
"I love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had very little go wrong with this car. I recently replaced the spark plugs for the first time ever. The car gets 26 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg around town. I had to replace the fuel filter (yes that was original also) a few weeks ago.
The ball joints (or whatever they are called) on the front end will have to be replaced shortly, but I drive my car. I do not powder puff it.
I do have to replace the two front tires yearly. For those on here blaming the car for flat tires, I do not get that.
The headliner on the sunroof is coming off. I attribute that to the Texas heat and age. The door handles have had to be replaced, that was a bad design.
General comments?
I love everything about this car. Considering the miles I have put on it and the way I drive it, it is holding up very well. I will drive it until the day it dies.
