Pros: Handling, V6 Acceleration, Sporty Style, Roomy Interior, Easy To Drive, Gas Mileage, Many Features!
Cons: Rear View.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car for anyone!!!
I own a 1997 Dodge Avenger Sport and absolutely love it. I've always wanted one and just had to have it, and for a 10 year old car, its still kickin. I got rid of a newer car for one. When I saw it I just had to have it. The outside look of the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: nice variation of available colors, beautiful body styling, inexpensive used price, good cornering.
Cons: I-4 has zero pickup; you can't help but feel something's gonna break any second now.
The Bottom Line: it is a wonderful car for any automotive enthusiast, but it does have its share of problems.
i picked up my avenger, used, with about 53k miles on it about one year ago. i hadn't even considered buying an avenger the day before, albeit i had always been in love with the cars. after a decent but not too impressive test drive (which i couldn't ... read more

Pros: Quiet, nice handling, roomy interior
Cons: Low turning radius, vague owner's manual.
The Bottom Line: I love my Avenger; it's sporty enough to get looks, but it's a lifesaver on the insurance, it's roomy, and quiet; I fully recommend this car to anyone.

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Value,V6 Engine,ABS,Cargo Room,Fog Lights,Not Everyone Drives One
Cons: Rear Visibility,Problems With Power Features,Expensive Tires, Unlit Power Controls
The Bottom Line: The Dodge Avenger is a quality vehicle that includes small subtleties to the many apparent features of the vehicle. Do not pass one up if you get the chance.
I was a high schooler on a limited budget and I searched high and low for 4 months to find just the perfect car. I got impatient trying to find just the right car for myself but I am glad I did not give in to a different car and the Avenger has made my ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: sleek style, roominess, handling
Cons: Dodge d/c in 2001, gas mileage, steering wheel options
The Bottom Line: One should definitely consider a Dodge Avenger when shopping for a used vehicle..whether you choose the basic, Sport, or ES..you'll always be driving in unconditional style!
Anyone interested in purchasing a Dodge Avenger must first consider the fact that they will now have to buy a used model. In 2001, Dodge decided to discontinue the Avenger and substitute it with their opinion of a sleeker Stratus Coupe...much to the ... read more

Pros: Shifting, Appearance, Road View, Handeling, Smooth Ride, and Features.
Cons: Some Blindspots, Turning Radius, Paint, Electronics, and Road Noise.
The Bottom Line: I'm keeping high hopes for a sports car with a daunting history. Like I said....so far...so good.
Okay, I'm not going to make this lengthy. I recently purchased a pre-owned 1997 Avenger ES at a local dealership. The car is decked out with all options except the bigger engine. (I have the 2.0 liter V6). I come from a long line of POS late models, ... read more

Pros: great handling, comfortable
Cons: unreliable, poor gas mileage
I bought my 97 Avenger ES new in early 1998. At first, I loved it - I was only disappointed with the gas mileage, which was about 16 city 18 highway. Even on long interstate trips it never got much over 20 mpg.
Over the last year, with about ... read more

Pros: sporty and affordable, large trunk

Everyone told me not to buy the avenger because I was planning on starting a family and it wouldn't be practical. They were wrong, wrong, wrong.
I bought the car because it was affordable and sporty but it is much more than that.

Pros: sporty, good gas mileage, trouble free
Cons: low to the ground so it scrapes curbs and care needs to be taken with speed bumps
I love my Avenger. I bought my 1997 Avenger NEW in 1999. To make a long story short, it was a leftover that never got sold. It had 100 miles on it when I got it and so I got a great deal. I almost bought one 4 years ago, but was trading in my Daytona ... read more

When I first bought my Avenger, I had my heart set on a Saturn. I wandered on to the Dodge lot to "comparison shop" similar car types to the Saturn. I walked up to the Avenger, read the info on the window sticker, and was intrigued. So, I ... read more

When I first got my used '97 Avenger in 2001, I absolutely loved it. She was beautiful, and I had little problems for the first year and a half, besides routine brakes and oil changes and such. However, once I hit the 60k mark on the speedometer, all
