Pros: Top-end power, exterior styling, handling, room, price
Cons: Pedestrian seats, cheapo interior bits, sloppy notchy shifter
The Bottom Line: The Stratus R/T sedan could use another pass through Chrysler's product development group. Like Nissan's Altima, it's a rushed, slipshod effort at a sports sedan.
My tastes are rather simple. I want a sharp handling, DOHC V6, manual shift sedan for around $25,000. A few fairly affordable V6 manual sedans are available from the import brands: Nissan’s Maxima and Altima, Mazda’s upcoming 6, VW’s Jetta ...

Pros: good power for a sedan. comfortable interior. fun to drive, for a sedan.
Cons: lack of AntiLock Brakes in the ES line. it was an option.
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend this car for anyone who needs basic 4 door transportation, and wants it done with power, comfort, style.
UPDATE (12/30/2008)Happy 2009 everyone!With 81,500 miles on the Stratus, I figured I'd give a brief update. On Dec. 23rd I experienced my first "major" failure on the car not covered under warranty. Back in the Spring of 2007, I had ...

Pros: Very roomy, sporty looking, simple dash design. I love this car!
Cons: None so far!
The Bottom Line: The Stratus is easily the best looking car in its class and will give you more backseat room than any sedan. The price is right too!
I have three children, one in a car seat, so a big back seat was very important to me when I was shopping for a new car. I am NOT ready to head into the mini-van scene! Maybe it's immature, but I want something that looks cool, even though I am 34 and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent ride, handling, performance and gas mileage
Cons: They didn't make a six-seater!
The Bottom Line: If you find one that hasn't been beaten to death by an uncaring driver, buy one. It's a great car and you will enjoy it!
When my wife and I got tired of all the problems we had with our 1997 Chevy Venture, she decided she would like to go back to a car. "No problem," I said. We tried several different cars, from a Neon to a beautiful Mercury Grand Marquis, but none ...

Pros: quick car, attention-getter, attractive, spacious interior
Cons: Eats tires. Make good friends w/ your local tire shop!
The Bottom Line: It's a good car with room and style - typical of the Dodge line. Other than brake pads and some trips to the tire shop, it's been a good car.
When Dodge first unveiled the Stratus line in 1995, the company showed off a distinctive mid-size with a room-y interior. Today's Stratus - now the flagship car of the Dodge line-up - was given an overhaul in 2001, sharing a platform with the ...

Pros: A sports car design, with some practicality
Cons: Sticker shock on the high end model
The Bottom Line: Very exciting car, turns a lot of heads on the highway. The black paint is very sharp!!!
I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase a new car. I knew the exact features I wanted; 2 door, 5 speed, V6, moon roof, CD player...basically I wanted it loaded. I started my search. Honda Accord? Too expensive. Chevy Monte Carlo? Not much...

Pros: 200 HP V6, Gas Mileage (30/22), Handling, Comfortable Seats, Low Engine and Road Noise
Cons: Shift with manual is stiff and touchy
The Bottom Line: Money, Power, Comfortable, Accessories, Safety - Do I need to say more.
I test drove my R/T and immediately fell in love. This car handles like it on rails. The Engine is a V6 with 200 HP. Dodge some how managed to get HP with Gas Mileage. Sitting in the car is like sitting on a comfortable leather sofa. The seats form...

Pros: Pretty cool starter car.
Cons: It is a low car and you can easily damage the bottom.
The Bottom Line: It was a great car because it did not give me too much trouble.
I loved my Dodge Stratus, it had minor problems but considering I paid only $6,000 it was expected. One of the problems I had was that one of hub caps kept falling off and it was a V6 but for some reason I kept putting $50 of gas every 3 days and with ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Styling, color, gages, sound system
Cons: Seats, transmission
The Bottom Line: Ok if it isn't purchased for long rides. Nice to look at and fairly quick.
I have the loaded R/T except for the 4-wheel ABS and the auto stick. The color is the first thing that attracted me. I saw it, I drove it, and I had to have it. I don't like white cars, but the White Satin Pearl Coat is beautiful. The gages are...

Pros: Leg room, Trunk size, comfort and gas use
Cons: a/c not very cold
The Bottom Line: A comfortable roomy family ride, room for all!!
We recently took a road trip from Buffalo, NY to Breckenridge, Co and rented for the trip. When I saw the Stratus I was very hesitant because it looks small... Well that is deceiving! There was plenty of leg room for all and the trunk was huge!! It did...
