1996 Dodge Avenger Preview summaryImage

This 2-door sports coupe remains a fun car to drive, and with its spacious interior, you can easily take your friends along to show off your ride.

Not many updates for the 1996 Dodge Avenger. The most notable is an increase in horsepower in the ES model from 155 to 163-horsepower. Other new offerings include a 16-inch alumninum wheel option and different interior fabric.

While the V6 ES model gives you more power and acceleration, it still is only available as an automatic, so the base model 5-speed is often cited as more fun to drive. Low ground clearance, a too wide turning radius, and transmission woes are a common complaint for some owners.

The car definitely wasn't built for power but the handling is pretty good. Mine has 187,000 miles on it and I've owned for 1+ year. 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.Sep 17, 2014

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. Mar 06, 2011
