Very reliable car.150,000 miles and still going strong. Handles decent, great fuel economy. It's a good car car if you want the basics plus a few extras like AC, power windows and locks.

So many problems with it. Dashboard randomly went out and none of the gauges worked for a period of time. All four tie rods went bad at 83,000. Has not been generally reliable

Not too much to get excited about!

Make it a more reliable car!

Better brakes and rear window motors
Great Starter

Review
Got it for high school graduation with 74,000 miles on it and couldn't be happier. I don't know what the previous owner replaced, but I have spent only 200 dollars replacing oxygen sensors. The Stratus is unusually peppy for its price and size while it gets 30 MPG on the highway. To many of the complaint reviews here: The longevity of the car can reflect the way you drive it. The back right window no longer works. Complaining about gas mileage? This gets 21 MPG city, which isn't good or bad, but keep in mind - you are reviewing it in 2004 or so, compare to cars of the same year, technology progresses! I have to admit, the gauges look cool at night.
Favorite Features
Gauges, cheap, good gas mileage, if you are nice to it, it will be nice to you.
Suggested Improvements
Anything could improve, this depends on the way one drives. I personally don't care about cabin noise, that's why you have a radio!
OK for a starter

Review
I bought this car for graduate school and it had already been in the shop to replace the head gasket. Since that time, I've replaced the brakes, O2 sensor, CV axles, among other things. I guess Dodge either makes a reliable vehicle or a lemon. It now has 92000 miles and I'm trading it in for something else. I'm not in love with this car and I'm looking forward to something else, especially with better gas mileage.
Favorite Features
The guage cluster at night, the seat comfort, and acceleration.
Suggested Improvements
Better quality and craftsmanship. These cars should be made to last and not "you get what you paid for". Please investigate this car before buying because you never know what problems you might find
