1997 Dodge Avenger review from North America
"A dependable sleek car with racing quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes wear down very often.
I go through tires fairly often.
General comments?
The car handles curves extremely well.
This car is fast. I raced Acura's. Honda's, Mustangs (V6), Toyota Celica's, and other cars that are in the 4 cylinder to 6 cylinder category. After the car picks up speed, it is very fast when dealing with cars like a Mustang V8. There is no chance when racing against a car with a big block engine. You will most definitely lose.
The car is very spacious. There is enough leg room for very tall people.
It is also incredibly comfortable. This is one of the cars you can doze off in.
I have not had any engine problems yet and I race my car.
If you take the muffler off, the car sounds great. It gives you a lovely "purr" sound especially if you knock it to second.
This car handles base very well. This car gives off very little rattle. With a little dynomat, you will have a great sound system. I have two Apline Type R's (12's) and there is very little trunk rattle.
I love my car. What I like most is that it is very dependable. I do not have to worry about getting in it and the car not starting.
