General Comments:
This was my teenage daughter's second car. It appeared to to a very solid and clean car when we purchased it. It was a very fun and economical sporty car.
However, after about one month of driving the master clutch went out. Had to be replaced 3 times until they figured out it was a bad hose not allowing fluid down to the brake and clutch line. "Something they have never seen before".
Things just went down hill from there. It was just constant repairs. This car stayed in the repair shop. We kept routine maintenance up on this car. There always something going out. We no longer own this car. Something happen to the brakes and my daughter went into a tailspin, landed in someones front yard and the engine went up in flames. Needless to say we no longer on the car and will never own another.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

The 1995 Dodge Avenger was not a good car! It had a lot of kinks in it. The 1998-1999 were a little better. It was a car thrown out on the show room floor to impress people. It is a lemon. My 1995 had the same problems and more. Was always in the shop.
