1995 Dodge Avenger Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Introduced in 1995, the Dodge Avenger is a 2-door sports coupe that boasts a surprisingly roomy interior for a comfortable ride, yet exterior styling and acceleration that doesn't let you forget its sporty nature.
The 1995 Avenger replaced the old Dodge Daytona and is available in both a base and ES model. The base model is a standard 2.0 liter, 140-horsepower four-cylinder engine, whereas the ES is a 2.5 liter V6 155-horsepower. While the base model is available in both 5-speed and automatic, the ES was only offered as an automatic and is difficult to modify. Fuel economy is about 20/29, but with a 16-gallon tank on the ES, that gets you pretty far.
While both versions offer nice handling and excellent braking, the V6 model obviously offers a smoother, quieter ride with better acceleration. Drivers praise the 1995 Avenger's roominess in both the front and back seats, which comfortably fit four, and its sporty exterior and gas mileage. Complaints range from multiple repairs and transmission problems to a noisy ride.

this is a good car for a novice grease monkey with a few tools and basic mechanical knowledge, but if you have to pay someone else to check the oil for you, then this is not the car for you. the 4 speed automatic transmission has a bad reputation for failing usually due to people using the wrong fluid and the older style parts witch have been revised for rebuilds. the 2.0 dohc engine is good as long as keep up with the service intervals. for some reason, most of the parts houses say "part not available" when trying to find parts, however, parts for a Mitsubishi eclipse and other dsm cars are usually in stock and some are an exact mach. (not sure why). good car but make no mistake, you will have to get your hands greasy here and there to keep it on the road.Nov 16, 2014

Like the style of this year. Every time I think about getting her painted she breaks. I'm thinking about getting a paint job on her.
Getting pretty old, not many on the read. The new model has no personality like this one.Apr 11, 2014

would never buy another one but it was fun when it ran. 0-60 depended on how
well you could hit the gears. huge back seat for a 2 door and lots of truck space,
it looked like a dodge neon on steriods,dont know much else to say just trying to
get my forty words Nov 30, 2011

I like my car. I bought it two months ago for 900 bucks. So far, I've only had to fix one rear strut on the car, and that was my fault. I hit a pothole. The Part was only 45.00 to fix. My car is all leather, and I'm not looking foreward to driving it in the snow, but I am glad I bought it. It's the best car I've ever owned.Dec 08, 2009

The fact that it's automatic is a major put down but being a
car from the mid 90's it performs well handles quick turns and
provides an overall exciting experience. I have driven this car
much harder than it possibly should have been but it's stood
up to the challenge wonderfully.Aug 16, 2009

everything that you don't want to go wrong went wrong, and to replace it was HORRIFIC!
the radiator rusted and it ALWAYS over heated, one of the fans broke and cost almost $600 to replace, the head gasget blew, burned ALOT of oil, the sway bars broke in two and to fix them was impossible due to rust... the interior would break all of the time. the windows were horrible becuase they lacked a frame.....Mar 25, 2008

Mine has had some problems. They are prone to oil leaks (main seal) and have faulty ball joints. They are nice and cheap though and are pretty much completely interchangeable with Eclipse parts.Feb 25, 2008

What users have asked
Can I use a coolant overflow bottle from a 96 dodge avenger in my 95? The bottles look identical with the only difference being that the cap for the 95 has two spouts, and the one for the 96 only has one.

mods for old school avengers
i got the 95 with the 2.5 v 6 well i hate the motor... i think everyone does... no mods for it at all.. so i was thinking of putting the 2.0 liter I4 out of a 96+ that will bolt to the v6 tranny... so i can get headers... turbo.... and everything else that the 4g63 has to offer... Any of you tried this or not? does it work?
