Awesome car and easy and cheap to fix. I love my Stratus !
The only problem is that mine has "Paint Cancer" due to the cheap dodge paint , lets just say the sun eats at it worse than most cars , other than that I love it

I do not like the paint on the Dodge bumpers. It does not hold up well at all. The dash is warping seems to be a problem with these cars. The power on this 3.0 is good the handling and response is terrific. I think the instrument cluster looks sharp lit up at night. The car has started up even in the coldest of winter days. The car feels safe when driving at high speeds performing at its best on the highway. Low road noise compared to other cars in the same class. Over all the car is dependable, Overall nice sporty car.Jun 23, 2014

My wife and I really like this car as it gets great gas mileage. I recently had the timing belt replaced. A complete tune up and NEW tires all the way around. And new brakes in the front. Maintained regularly.Dec 18, 2011

I wanted a second car to commute and transport kids without the look of a "grocery getter." It was a salvage and thus far no major problems except for things that I did not maintain properly. Seems to be good quality, gas mileage decent, fun? Not at all but it has A/C and runs well.
In 2012 the paint sealant started to flake off. It's very noticeable and appearance is dreadful.Jul 01, 2011

this car over all drives really well, and if you like speed at a decent price then this car is the way to go. Maintenance is easy if you know what you are doing, and this car has real speed and fun. This car is also made by dodge, so if u dont want a import then you can buy this car.Nov 19, 2010

This is a great looking car until you get down to the nitty gritty of the engine. For a newer car it was the worst-we owned it a year and the engine went on it and no matter what we did it was a POS. To fix the car it would have taken over $500 to even get it running-and still wouldn't pass emissions. Nothing short of a new engine would have made this thing run decently. It was well maintained but the build quality was horrible-wouldn't recommend this to anyone!Feb 20, 2010

Performace: It accelerates well for a 3.0...not as quick as the Trailblazer or Silverado, but quick. The Braking is well, but not as great as the Trailblazer or Silverado. It handles well...I've yet to hydroplane in wet weather.
Quality: The only real issue with this car is the dash materials. They do not stand up to heat well...the dash has begun to warp and come apart...looking cheap. The Chevrolets had much better choice of dash material, as well as Dodge trucks. It holds water in the floor when it rains too...or the ac leaks in the interior...not real sure. Other than that, it's a nice ride.
Appearance: I'll start with the interior. It has nice styling...nice clean lines and "mood" lighting at night. The gauges go from black in the day to orange at night...which adds a nice little touch. The seats could be done a little different though. As long as this car is, if there is someone in the backseat, it is very uncomfortable for people in the front seat. The exterior is clean, but the bumpers should be made out of something other than plastic...the paint does not do well on the bumpers...it is peeling and cracking. Maybe it's a poor choice of paint? The stock 17" R/T Chrome plated wheels are nice too. All it needs is a moon roof and tinted windows.
Cost: Gas mileage is very good for a "sport" car. I get about 30 mpg on the hwy and 24 mpg in the city. This ofcourse, varies by how it's driven. Maintenance as far as brakes and oil changes is normal for most sedans. Tires, however, are low profile, so they don't last very long and depending on how nice of a tire...the cost can vary from $60/tire to $200+/tire. Fairly cheap for a fun sporty car. Gas is cheaper than the Chevrolets, but lacks power and pulling abilities...obviously. lol
Fun Factor: This car is fun to drive. It comes with a 7 speaker Infiniti Sound System and sounds great. It could use some subs in the trunk though if you're looking for a lot of thump. Otherwise, it hits nicely. It's stylish...and almost unique...not a lot of these on the road.Jan 17, 2010

I love Dodges and this is my second Stratus. I like them and they have a decent pick up and go. Handling is smooth. A nice car to drive. So far no major problems. I enjoy how quite the engines are.Jul 07, 2009

I love everything about this car....its a great car for a toy in the summer....performance of the car is great stock but im going to update it quite a bit in the future....build quality is great so far....i have 62,000 miles on it and the only thing that i have had to repair on it has been an exhaust leak, the appearance of it stock was good but i think what i have done to it has made it look amazing....for cost of ownership i havent really had to put money into the thing except for extras that i wanted to do....gas really isnt a problem because i only drive it on weekends during the summe.....and this car is a blast to drive.....i cant wait for what it will be like when i get the performance mods done that im wanting to do!!Mar 17, 2009

It sucks on winter roads.....on the roads in the foot hills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. But Perfect Summer Car.
When its too cold out, it rides like an old hay wagon. Come summertime.....it hugs the road, open the windows and thte sunroof, and you are the star of the road....Dec 26, 2008

Even thought this car comes off as a mom car at first glance it makes up for it with its pick-up. The V6 shocks most people that go to drive this car. I would lve to have a nicer looking car but this one has been driving just fine! The mpg sorta sucks but that is to be expected with a V6. The transition is something to worry about with these models but as long as you stay up to date on maintenace and treat the car well it should not be an issue.Nov 12, 2008

Her name is Stella and i love her.It is a good car that gets me where i need to go. She was about $8000.00. The people were great and i had her the next day. Only had one issue with the Input Speed Sensor. Great car other then that! I don't know what else to say!Nov 03, 2008

Dodge made the right decision in giving Stratus a facelift. Instead of being just another beat down Stratus with a funny nose job has turned into a sports-sedan. With a V6, it actually does very well on gas, with great city acceleration and highway driveability. Some problems exist with the transmission slippage and highly difficult in the serviceability department. Any repair is time-consuming and difficult. All in all, the vehicle is very safe and I would recommend this car to anyone who still wants a fast car but at the same time comfortable with basic amenities.Sep 08, 2008

Best car I've owned. Added Short Ram Intake, Cat-
back exhaust, and paint and other minor details to
add to the overall sexiness! It's so much fun to drive
for a front wheel drive V6. Sport suspension rides the
road like a champ. I'd recommend this car to anyone
who wants a mid-level coupe!Jul 24, 2008

Nice ride, the 5 spd. isn't fast acceleration but HP is there when you need it to pass a car. Suspension is really sporty and can take the turns fast, rated better than an M3 in turnsJan 02, 2008
