I am trying to buy a new car and wanted some reviews on the stratus, but am having trouble finding them. Any comments you have will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Especially if you have one?

It depends on weather you are talking about the 2-door or the 4-door. I haven't seen many problems out of either one. If you get one go for the V-6. The 2-door model is a Mitsubishi eclipse with a different body, and has a 3.0 V6, fun to drive. The 4-door is built by Chrysler and will get 30 miles per gallon on the highway weather you have the 4 cylinder or the V6. It's a very practical car, you can find them at a very nice price. The only thing is just find one you want, and keep it. The resale value is bad, but they last a long time.

i have a 2001 Stratus with the 2.7 V6. it is a GREAT car! despite what these poeple say. the ONLY thing i have had to do with it is the basic routine maintnance. its a fast car too. trust me, i TRY to tear it up so i have an exscuse to get a new car. i wanna get the new Ram. but the wife wont let me until we have to (when this car dies) it has over 120k on it and its running strong. im getting about 30 mpg at best with it. hope that helped

Dodge sold flooded the rental market with 4-cyl versions of these cars dumping the value, so ignore the NADA price, the V-6 though somewhat rare is one of the better mid size cars built in this country. My nephew has had one for 3 years now and has not been able to tear it up. lol

The only good Dodge is the Sprinter van that Mercedes makes.Every Dodge I've owned had transmission problems. One I put 5 transmission in 6 years. The U.S. does not make cars good because folks get rid of them in 5 years. I drive only Mazda, and Toyota now.

An uninspring, mundane grocery-getter with a harsh ride and a so-so reliability record. A buddy has one. He's married to the payments (upside down) so he can't afford to get rid of it but wishes he hadn't bought it. I rode up to KC with him (180 miles each way) and my back ached for days afterwards.

yeah ur throttle has a couple of screws on it that loosen themselves over use. they need to be readjusted to work at the right spot. u need a car manuel and screwdriver and need to know what the rpm should idle at. a mechanic can do it by ear, but u can do it by watchin the rpms with another person.

dont buy one. you'll get transmission and suspesion problems. if you want to buy a good and inexpensive sedan go with a ford taurus (same year).
