ProsLooks great ConsThe dealer

Dodge Stratus — My car runs great! The only vehicle i've been happier with is my truck. Exhuast could be louder, but it's ok for now. Talk about some get up and go, i'll race just about anyone. I enjoy going on a long cruise, jsut me and the car and sometimes my wife.

ProsLooks, Handling, Gas Mileage, Reliable, ConsLoud Brakes, Horrible Turning Radius

Wouldn't Have Any Other Car But Mine!!! — This is a GREAT vehicle! I have had mine for almost ten years now. Mileage 140k and still running in top shape. I have only had regular maintenance done: tune ups, oil & transmission fluid changes, brakes & rotors. Good looking exterior & interior. Comfortable bucket seats. Smooth Ride. Low to the ground great handling. Great for cross country traveling. My car has been across the USA more times than it is old. He still purrs like a kitten. | ||

ProsEasy to drive, its a real sports car feeling Consthe seats are too low
35
Great Car — So the car is superclean, in and out as well. Serviced every 3K New brake paths, tune up, coil, oil changed. The transmission is amazing, the stickshift is great. The radio has 5 cd changer, and keyless entry. This car will be a great deal. The one reazon why I want to sale, because I want a bigger, higher car, I'm not that sports style guy. | ||

2003 Dodge Stratus SXT Coupe Review
ProsI love the look of this car. I really like the body lines and how it all flows together. ConsThe worst thing is how underpowered it is and how much money is required to even make it remotely fast.
45
Great Looks However Lacks The Power To Back It Up — The 4G64(4cyl) is very underpowered for the size of the vehicle and having an automatic transmission doesn't help. The drive train loss is approx. 17%. There is a very small amount of aftermarket support visually. Thus meaning almost every visual modification must be custom. The car is mechanically identical to the 3G Mitsubishi Eclipse (00-05) so the performance based modifications and parts are shared. I have done multiple things to it including: Suspension, Brakes, Wheels and Tires, Headlights, Taillights, Interior Lighting, I/H/E modifications for remaining N/A, etc. I haven't really done any major performance based upgrades due to the cost:benefit ratio. It costs a considerable amount of money just to gain a few whp so I feel that it is not exactly worth it. I would rather focus on visual modifications for now. All of the modifications I have done have made me like the car more. I have done countless hours of research on this platform so I feel confident working with it. I still have continued plans but just like every addiction you will always find more to do. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

2003 Dodge Stratus ES Review
ProsNice body-style. Fairly sharp looking. ConsVery unreliable. Not a single moment in time where everything worked properly.
35
Nice-looking Car But Horrible Performance And Reliability. — Most unreliable car I have ever owned.....or seen. PIECE OF CRAP. Something was ALWAYS broken. Performance was not very good. Shifting was a little rough and accelerating was like pulling teeth. Fuel economy not that great. The only plus is that it looked fairly sharp when it was cleaned up and there wasn't duct tape holding on the side-view mirror Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsI have DOHC so it is pretty fast ConsIt is a bit small for my liking
25
Fun And Fuel Efficient — Great on gas, costs me between 35 and 45 a tank, yet really fast, pretty stylish and very fin to drive. Handling is excellent, and it takes curves very nicely, like most dodges do. Other than oil I have had no problems with this car. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

A Review For My Dodge Stratus? Lol — pffft i love it, definetely. It's a beautiful car and it has a lot of power when you need it. Also it's quite cheap and very useful for dates ;D. A+. I guess the only thing that sucks about this car is that it's very low. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||
