I've had my car for a little over a year and I do have to say that I love it. The only problems i had was that, the battery went't dead after 2 months and the dealer said it wasn't under warranty, the alternator went out after about a year and the power door locks went out and the dealer woukdn't fix them because I was 30 miles over warranty. I was so mad because of that. and when I get to about 80 on the interstate it starts to shake. Other than that I love my car , it is very fast, roomy andI love the color, its different. And another thing my drivers door handle broke off and I had to get that fixed ($35). Similar Products Used: 87 Honda Accord 4-cly 96 Plymouth Neon 4-sly |

Strength:
Sleak Design Fun to drive Attractive Handling Great Sound system Sun Roof (one touch, leave it alone) Spacious
Weakness:
a few noises alarm I love this car. While it isn't the most powerful car, it looks great, runs well, handles great, and i've had very few problems with it. I think i may have blown out a speaker, but it did sound great until that happened, and the brakes are constantly squeaky, even after changing the break pads. Also, the alarm has problems at times, but overall, this is a great car. Similar Products Used: Dodge Stratus |

Strength:
Car looks great with a body-kit, if you find one. - Always get compliments. - Fits me like a glove and I am 6'4. - Stereo (if you have the Infinity package).
Weakness:
TRANSMISSION. BRAKES. Rear Spoiler Fades Fast. Slower than my sisters car.. ugh (95 Cirrus) I really did love my car when I first got it. I bought it Brand-New and put the very first miles on it. Since I got it I have put in a K&N air-filter, New Konig Rims, which go great with the car, tinted the windows with Limo Tints.. and added on a great lookin Body kit. Well, I've got the brakes done twice. And the expensive Rubber Erasers.. excuse me.. tires, replaced as well. They were all pretty costly. Just the other night, I was driving home and my Check Engine light came on. I was a little upset, but figured I was in need of a tune-up or something. I did have 40k on it and never needed a tune-up. (strong point) But I was wrong. I went to drive it the next day and the damn car stopped shifting. Turns out (at least what I have heard so far) the transmission needs to be replaced. Costing me a wonderful $1400. Yea great. Well another great thing is my warranty ran out about 4k ago.. great timimg. At this point I am to hear the final word. Chrysler said I may be lucky and it will be a Sensor or something. I've heard of the o2 sendors goin but not sure it would kill the car all together. We will see. I will be sure to post it when I hear the news.. Similar Products Used: Dodge Intrepid Chrysler Cirrus |

i like everything about my car except....
Weakness:
the radio is a little low...down infront of my stick shift, but still managable. i love this car. i have never owned a car i love driving as much as this. some of the reviews i've read state problems i've never experienced. i have 98,000 miles on my car and it still drives like a dream. the only work i've done on the car is replace the break pads. i haven't experienced the rattling that some have complained of and believe me i have pushed the car to 100mph...while drinking coffee and turning up the radio and did'nt even realize i was going that fast it was so smooth. it looks great, has unbelieveable room inside( fit my 275 pound, 6'2" father, mother, and daughter all comfortably), handles like a dream and i can pass about everyone without a hitch. almost 100,000 miles and only oil changes, tune-ups and the breakpads to fix? sounds like a great car to you to huh?

Dodge Avenger
Strength:
Attractive exterior and interior. Great sound system. Roomy Fast
Weakness:
Brake pads and rotors. Shakes at certain speed limit. I think the car is very attractive and draws attention. My car is red, fully loaded, with sunroof, cd, wood grain, and leather interior. Unlike most reviews my car has a great sound system. Its very roomy. When I purchase the car in 2001 it had only 64446 miles on it. Thats pretty good for and 1995. I has a great kick when accelerating.I've receive three speeding tickets since buying the car, but it does shake when I reach 70 mph. Since buying the car I had to get new brake pads for the front and back tires. No really series problems have occured. I try to keep up with oil changes and tune ups. Its a great sports car that is very roomy. Similar Products Used: 96 Eclipse and 96 Toyota Celica |

Avenger ES
Strength:
Looks, Pickup, very roomy, leather seats, Cd player, and i love the sunroof
Weakness:
Shaking when accelerating and braking, one front speaker and back speaker are fuzzy at a certain volume, hard to park and make sharp turns Since ive had it a little over a month, ive had some problems. Ive had to replace two o2 sensors, ive replaced the battery after it went dead (i did nothing to make it go dead), and now my brake light is on. Other than the problems ive had and stil have, i love it. Its very nice to look at. Mine is bright red and looks very sharp. I love the pickup, its very quick off the line. Its hard to park in straight parking and sometimes hard to back up. It shakes when accelerating sometimes and also when braking. |

good body styling , nice acceleration , turns heads.
Weakness:
alot of funny noises , dash and door speakers cant hold up , no 5 speed I bought my Avenger just over a month ago. So far everything has been great , I have noticed after market parts are really hard to come by , and yes the fact that you can't get a 5 speed tranny really bites. The infinity sound sys. is a joke , but dispite all of the imperfections I still love this car! Similar Products Used: none |

All other aspects of this car are fantastic, it just has no power in the engine. Similar Products Used: none |

Strength:
Interior comfort and style. good looks. Not too many of them on the road. Top speed of 127+ (I don't know for sure how much faster)
Weakness:
not a manual!! only 162 ponies. This car is tight. When I first started looking for a car at the age of 18, I wasn't even looking at this one. I was looking for a convertible. One test drive with this baby, and my mind was made up for me. It has an awesome body style, not to mention it's red. The stock rims are ok, but I had mine replaced with American Racing rims. They were pretty expensive, but well worth it. They give it a lot more of an appealing look. Mine is the 2.5 liter 24 valve V6. I have raced stock mustangs and camaros, and like other Avenger owners, I smoked them both. The acceleration is decent, as long as you don't put it all the way down to the floor right away.
