2006 Stratus Sxt — I really like this car a lot. It is very spacious for a car of this type. I didn't have many problems with it, the transmission went out in 2010, but other than that I always felt it was reliable & got good gas mileage.

Reliable And Good On Your Pocket — I like about this car that it is great on gas, it is a very reliable vehicle, and very comfortable, and is a very safe car to drive. Is not a hard card to maintain and is great as a family car.

Dodge Stratus - The Cloud — For a first car owner the Dodge Stratus is a wonderful car. It provides excellant safety, great stock sound system, along with a nice performance. As for gas, it is one of the best in town. A twelve(12) gallon and awesome gas mileage is all for the Stratus!

Reliable Car, Never Had Any Issues With It In The Time I Drove It. — The car handles cool, there was a dent on the passenger side panel because of an accident. It accelerates good for a bigger car, the stock speakers hit hard for stocks. I dug drivin this car, it's smooth. I was a satisfied driver when it came to this wheel.

Super Spectacular Stratus — I miss the stratus. It ran well the whole time I had it. It was quite roomy in the inside and the exterior was so fresh :) Classy and Sporty all at once. Perfect car for any type of person. d

Great Vehicle, Hands Down. — I like the sleak design. It's nice and roomie on the inside without having a huge/heavy car to drag around and deplete ur gas mileage. It also has it's good days where it gets up and going when it needs to. Great fuel efficiency for it's year. Love the engine, I beat it the hell up daily and only changed the oil once in the past year(when it was changed it wasn't even that dark and it was regular oil, not synthetic).

Gear changes not very smooth

Stratus — Good looking car, definitly a good fast exccellerator. Unfortunately sometimes the gears do not shift very smoothly (it is an automatic and sometimes stutters) but definitly a good fun drive. Has a very good sound system (ofcourse you can hook up your own, but the bass is great automatically.) I would recommend the dodge stratus.

I Absolutely Love My Car. — Beautiful, clean lines; easy-to-care-for engine; working cruise control. After two other cars with broken cruise control, this baby is a dream for me.

Very roomy and handles great.

Cons

Every 1,000 miles or so something breaks since 75,000 miles. Odd things, not usual wear and tear.

Never Again — Great car at first but once I hit 75,000 miles (with following the maintenance schedule) it's just been one problem after another. A/C compressor, cat, idler pulley, cooling fan, fuel rail, etc. I went to the junk yard for a few parts and found a WELL extensive list of dodge stratus' they stopped making them in 2006 and I hardly see them on the road...that's because they are all in the junkyard. Not to mention all of the cosmetic rust (probably bad paint job)
