1996 Dodge Avenger ES review from North America

"Fast, Responsive, and completely Hot"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I've had to replace the front brake pads and rotors about 6 months into owning the car.

Recently, I replaced the left rear wheel bearing because of a humming noise.

New battery put in after 6 months of owning the car.

General comments?

This car is absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. The instruments are placed perfectly and the outer touches catch the eye.

Fast, and responsive, but not impressed with handling, which was solved by adding four new "H" performance tires.

Considering what I've replaced on the car, one must keep in mind that it is only expected. Reliability is a 10, keeping in mind that I added 26,000 miles on the car because I love driving it. I honestly believe that some of the problems people complain about with this car is their own doing. I've never had a problem with the moon roof, engine, transmission-- and I ran a complete vehicle history.

Not many may have faith, but I do. My 'venger made a trip from Pennsylvania to Vermont this past week. Yes 1100 miles in 4 days, and now has 150,000 and runs strong.

There are no leaks, no noises except the tweeter that I blew myself.

Above all, knowing the car's reactions is the most conenient. The parking brake has actually saved me from two accidents at this point, (one not being my fault).

So I suggest that by reading this, the next time you as a dodge owner would like to put down the company, take car of your car and treat it as the car it was meant to be, the key to a great driving experience.
