5. Dodge Avenger

Long before the Avenger was a cheap four-door sedan, it was a two-door coupe based on a Mitsubishi design. The Avenger coupe is a common occurrence on the used car market and you can generally get one for a good price. Issues with the Avenger were related to transmission failures and head gasket problems. If you can find one with reasonably low mileage on it, the Avenger might not be a bad used car. But when you factor in all of the maintenance issues that will arise, it’s probably best to avoid it.

Some of the Mitsubishi models from this period were great cars, and others were just questionable. The Avenger falls into the questionable category for obvious reasons.
