Dodge Stratus — Needed new sruts. But it's pretty good now. It's fun to drive and it gets me where i want to go. With gas at $1.60, it takes about $20 to fill up. Performance is pretty good so far. My lights sometimes suck.

Pros

quick, tight suspension, short throw between gears

Cons

heavy car, hard to find parts for it

Fun Car To Drive — accelerates fast, hugs the road on turns, the 3.0L V6 puts out enough power to run through all the gears quick.

engine light always on!!! oh well.
Not unique - a lot of other dodge stratuses are on the road, and I'd love to have a car that fits my personality better.

It Drives, That's All I Need. — I got this car from my parents for my 18th birthday. They got a really great deal, which is good for me since I have to pay for half of it. They got it at auction with electrical problems and rock bottom price, then my stepdad got it fixed. It is very reliable and drives pretty good now that it's fixed. There are a lot of cosmetic problems (scratches, front bumper, etc.) that are the fault of the previous owner, but besides that, I think it's a pretty good-looking car, just not very unique.

2002 Dodge Stratus SE Review

Pros

Cool mature vehicle, perfect for families that like to drive the speed limit, or sometimes not at all.

Cons

Wasn't "fast", not alot of aftermarket options, so you basically have to stick with whatever it came with.  The car started falling apart after only 3 years!

Its A Roomy 4 Door, 4 Cylinder Car That Runs Smoother Than Dodge's Current 4 Door, 4 Cylinder Car. — This was my first official car. The 2002 Dodge Stratus SE had alot of room for 5 people to sit comfortably. Under the hood was a 2.4 4 cylinder engine with less electronic control than the newer Dodge Avenger, which left the ride in the driver's hands. After a few short years and most maintenance being met on time, the car slowly started to die. Beginning with a problem with the spark plugs, to needing a brand new brake drum replacement, to the fuel injection giving out while trying to shift out of park or neutral. The Dodge Stratus SE gave all it could during our 3 year companionship.
