Pros

Very fun, when it's in a stick.  Large trunk.  Attractive. comfortabe and accomodating to passengers

Cons

although it has a big trunk, the trunk lid could be bigger.  cup holders aren't the most ergenomic, for a manual configuration.  small mirors.

I Wish They Still Made A Car Like This. — i bought this car with only 48000 miles on it for only $8K and i love it. it is more fun to drive than any other car i've ever driven thanks, in part to the 5-speed manual tranny. It's also a really nice car in it's own right; with leather seats and a 4 disc CD changer. It is based a a 4 door sedan so there is acctually alot of room in the back seat, unlike other sport, compact coupes. In addition is also has a very large trunk, even in comparison to some full sized sedans, like my step dads infiniti M45.

Dodge Stratus - 2002 - R/t Coupe — I love my car. I bought this when I had no other options and it was a great deal. I have enjoyed my time with it. It is fast off the line, handles great at high speed and stop quickly.

My Rt — Absolutely love this vehicle. Wish I was able to drive it longer, but I need to purchase a family vehicle. I love that it is a 2-door car, but a 4-door will be much easier for a family.

Sporty — We like the sports car feels in a family sedan. This car has alot of style for the low cost. It is extremely fun to drive Having owned several cars this has been vary comfortable and affordable. I would recommend owning this vehicle.

Its A Car And Id Like To Call Myself A Mopar Fan. — Amazing grocery getter with a kick only when in stick how ever. I owned an 02 stratus as a automatic and hated it. its eliable and as for most manual cars has decent gas milage i beleave the sticker sais 28 highway miles but that also depends on how you drive. its got a little over steer but in my mind its perfect for brakes work amazing there about to work better as i change um soon acceleration=the bomb as long as you can drive stick. realy roomy interior like race car look to the body. its maintenance cost is like any other "sports" car can be expensive if mis used. absolutly fun for drag racing hooks up right no matter the conditions.
