Great Car, Fun To Drive And Economical. — The car is fast, but needs some more work to get the quickness up. Braking is awesome, as is handling. Haven't had much trouble that wasn't my fault, and the car is a blast to drive. By the way, 35 mpg, and it's a beautiful car. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

96 Dodge Avenger - Beauty And Economy — I absolutely love the gas mileage of the 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed tranny combo. Handling is pretty good, it's no Mini but still good, and the brakes stop the car quickly. Power is the most lacking thing, but that can be solved with some aftermarket mods (many parts for a Mitsubishi Eclipse fit perfectly except for cat-backs). My specific Avenger has been by far the most reliable car my family has ever owned, plus the car just plain looks great. |

ProsThe way it looks, it can compete in shows alongside my friend's more expensive cars. Conslack of power, it looks faster than it really is

Good Avenger — The car definitely wasn't built for power but the handling is pretty good. Mine has 163,000 miles on it and I've owned for 2+ years. No major problems, just normal wear and tear for a car that's 15 yrs old. Rockers have rust issues, especially when you live in ND. Overall, I love the car and would recommend one in good condition to my friends. These trannys can have problems, so beware of that. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Great Looks , Low Price — I had a killer stereo , 2 amps , 2 subs, spent well over 2000$ . I loved this car. Great looks. Mine was dark green with a grey interior. Mileage was very good while the performance was also quite good. Had to fold the back seats down on long trips so that the amps didn't overheat. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

ProsBasicly 90,000 miles with no major problems. ConsJapanese steel rusts out something horrible.

The Mitsu With The Dodge Emblem On The Front. — This car was great, believe it or not. The 2.5 v6 could have been bigger, but it had ample power. I the 90,000 miles I owned the car, all that needed fixed was; 1 battery, tune-up at 60,000, 1 rear wheel bearing, brakes all the way around, and 2 sets of tires. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Gets Attention — Not fast enough but it turns more heads than any other car on the road. Stock version is not as attractive with the work i've put in, all that has changed. Needs that big turbo engine to go with it though. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

I Wish I Had Another — All around awesome car thats all i have to say about that! Great on gas, no mechanical problems normally.
