1998 Dodge Avenger Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers enjoy the 1998 Dodge Avenger for its sporty appearance and good acceleration, especially for a V6. They appreciate the comfortable interior and the aftermarket support that allows for customization. However, many noted that the car can be slow, particularly in terms of high-speed performance, and some experienced issues with the transmission and door handles."
Got this car used for 2,500. A little over 100,000 miles and still runs great. The previous owner was dumb and drilled holes in the exhaust so it sounds a little bad, but thats gonna be fixed good. I love everything about this car. Its got good torque, good braking, great on gas, and it looks amazing too!
July 28, 2008good car, looks awesome, the only problem is that it's rather slow. i did a 1/4 mile in 17.3 @ 82 mph. That's really slow. Good thing about it thought, is that it shares the same engine as the Mitsubishi eclipse/talon non-turbo, so they make a lot of aftermarket parts for it.
June 18, 2011Japanese engine and American style. Best of both worlds. Cousin car to the Mitsubishi Eclipse and the Eagle Talon. Custom exhaust system by Magnaflow and 2.5" pipes from the manifold w/ hi-flow cat. Great on fuel and performance. Custom throughout.

August 31, 2009Performance: The 2.0L is small, but for the little motor my car goes quite fast. 35 in 1st gear, 60 in 2nd, 80 in 3rd and then on to 115 (top speed isnt its high point) Looks: The car looks great! The body style has got an Muscle car look to it, it dosent resemble the Jap cars( im Muscle ALL THE WAY)
January 11, 2008I love this car, I will drive it til it can't be drove anymore. Overall its a sporty and reliable car. Performance: It needs a bigger engine, and def. a new tranny. Build Quality: Everything is good but the door handle quality sucks, they break off easy. Appearance: Overall I love the appearance of my car. The only bad thing on mine is that there are a few dents.
October 23, 2009ES has full leather interior. Standard gauge and instrument panel for 1998 car. Car is 2 door but has roomy backseat and decent trunk.
April 28, 2008i like the car for the most part, the turning sucks and the throttle responce was terrible till i upgraded with a chip
April 16, 2008decently quick, solid quality, this car looks sick, i have only had to do one repair so far and the reason for the repair has nothing to do with the car but the reapir was expensive because the engine bay is so tight. gas mileage is ok, the V6 didnt come with a manual option which sucks but its pretty fun to drive.
November 18, 2009I got this car with roughly 20k on it, and it had leather, power everything, power sunroof, a quick V6, etc. It was fun to drive and treated me really well....until the trans blew up @ 100k. The turning radius was poor, but everything else on it was pretty good.
January 22, 2008For a 1998, its a nice looking car. The quality of the car is decent, one problem has set me ablaze. I have considered installing intake and exhaust in order to give my car a little more pep. This car is amazing to drive- sport steering makes it so much easier to whip it around.
