1997 Dodge Avenger from North America - Comments

The brakes wear down very often.

I go through tires fairly often.

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.

I have the same car as you, no Honda's can take this car I also use my car to race, and I agree with the curve thing, it does handle well. top speed 142... so far.

I have a red 97 Avenger. I took on Mustangs, Integras, Civics, and an Eclipse and beat them all (same engine, V6, that is) I too think that this car does handle very well especially when you're turning at about 40 mph and also when flying down the freeway and then switching lanes Indy-car style. This is a better buy than a Mustang or a Civic because it goes faster (150 mph, stock) than both, is roomier, and it doesn't make that annoying race-car wannabe sound that the Civic makes. ". Anyways, this is a great car; it looks great, it feels great, and it runs great, and the sound...WOW!. This is an all around great car. Go out and buy one and enjoy!. And TRY not to break the speed limit...much!.

I have a Black one. this car runs great with a nice cold air and a little extra hp in it I'm pushing 245 horse power out of that small v6. the one problem I do have is the brakes. but other than that I have taken a mustang Gt and many other imports. But one thing is it a impor or a American car?? GREAT CAR FOR KIDS.

Yes I do agree with all, I have recently bought a 97 avenger. I love it, its very dependable and fast. I raced mine at our local drag strip for my highschool nationals and beat mitsu 3000 GT, I've also beaten the V6 mustang, and a few Hondas. This car handles very well on the freeway. I raced an 01 cavalyer and made it look like it was parked, while goin down I-94. I have gotten it up to 120 but have yet to come athe crossed speedlimiter. Any one know?
