Chrysler: How dodge is the Avenger?

How dodge is the Avenger?
My brother is looking at the dodge avenger, and I was wondering how good is
this car? Is it all mitsu or just the engine? Is the transmission the
41TE? Is the body Chrysler sheetmetal or mistsu? Vehicle electronics
Chrysler or mitsu?
How good is the 2.5 mitsu v6? Does it have the same problems as the 3.0
valve guide seal degradation and smoking?
Thanks

Whole car is Mitsu, except transmission and nameplates.
About as good as any Mitsu engine in recent memory. *cough*

Don't know anything about that.
I have a '98 Stratus with the 2.5V6 and it is a very, very good engine.
Mitsuthingy has used it themselves in cars with a biturbo. So it can handle
quite a lot of abuse. In my car that means it an average of 26 mpg at 70 mph and it pulls a 2800 lbs trailer, doing 50mph, at 1700 rpm.

At least in the US, Mitsu never sold a biturbo and never sold a sohc V6 with a
turbo and never sold a 2.5 L V6 as a turbo. The only turbo V6 was the 3.0
dohc in the Stratus/3000GT.

I think you meant "Stealth/3000GT."

it's a mit's build
the car sucks and costs lots of money to maintain but the 2.5 v6 proved itself
to a much better engine than the 3.0
