1998 Dodge Avenger ES review from North America
"Typical car with typical ownership pains, it's pretty average"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, it hasn't been too bad. The sunroof started sticking/not opening while under (extended) warranty, but the new owner of the local dealership (Gary Mathews) refused to honor the warranty.
The button to enable cruise control has ceased to function.
Leather seats are really worn.
Rims are extremely soft and 3/4 are dented. Impossible to find replacements.
General comments?
The car handles better than expected for price range.
Interior is a bit uncomfortable.
Rims are shot. Too soft I suppose.
