Used 2000 Dodge Avenger Consumer Reviews
Overall - a good car
I bought my Avenger new. I looked around at cars from Chevy, and others from Dodge, and decided on the Avenger. Now two years later, I'm very pleased with my decision. Overall, its a very dependable and forgiving car, typical of the Dodge/Mitsubishi cooperative's 'Diamond Star' vehicles. The power put out by this car is generous, but does not match enough with the car's agressive stylings. Still, it has plenty of power to keep me in trouble (generally commuting 45 miles each way on interstates at 80 MPH). Fuel consumption is still good at 32 MPG.
1999 Avenger ES
When I first looked at it I thought it was too sporty. Great V6 growl, but no real power. Claimed 170hp at about 4800rpm when the timing changes. It set me back in my seat. It handles like a sports car, and has room for 4. Love the huge trunk. The only problems, twice the battery light has come on. When the light was on and I flipped from bright to dim the radio lost power as if the ignition was turned. I also had a problem starting the car. Like it was still in drive and wouldn't even turn over. Thought it was the starter disabling of the security system.
nice car
i have had no trouble with it and it runs great. its fun to drive.
Dodge avenger
I got my avenger when i was 18 and it is a 1000 times better than the ford I had before it. The avenger has great power for what it is and for its size. I enjoy driving the car everyday. I want to try the new avengers but I don't like the way the body looks on the new avengers though.
Very Reliable and Gorgeous
My dad purchased the car for me in 2006 (in Ohio) when I was 18; it's paprika red and had almost 75,000 miles at the time. I brought my son home from the hospital in this car and it has kept us safe for 2 long, and sometimes quite harsh, winters. I recently moved to Texas and it had absolutely no problems driving the 1,300 miles here. The only thing you have to watch for is hitting the front on the sidewalk or wherever you park; it sits very low to the ground. I have had no major mechanical problems in the 3 1/2 yrs I've owned it; just replaced front tires. It now has 110,000 miles and still going great; it's almost paid off and I look forward to keeping it around for the next couple years!
