The Avenger represents a winning formula in the coupe segment ΓÇö the sporty looks and handling of a coupe with the space, comfort and features of a sedan. Handsomely-styled, with sweeping lines that vie for attention with cars like the Eagle Talon, the Mazda MX-6 and Toyota Celica, the Avenger shares the same platform and running gear with the Chrysler Sebring. The Avenger is the sportier of the two.
The standard 2.0-liter, 140-horsepower DOHC four provides respectable performance, but for exhilarating acceleration, get the optional Mitsubishi-sourced 2.5-liter V6 with its more muscular 168 horsepower. The Avenger is aimed at the market sector above the Talon and Celica but under the BMW 325i or the Mitsubishi 3000GT. Upscale features include the HomeLink Transmitter garage door opener, CD system, remote keyless entry system, dual airbags, air-conditioning, anti-lock brakes, 8-speaker stereo system and numerous powered conveniences.
