SOLID PERFORMER
I purchased this vehicle used with 30,000 miles one year ago. Had to have the spark plugs changed. Put in a drop- in K&N air filter which did improve gas mileage slightly. No noticeable performance increase. Overall very pleased with the car. Fairly comfortable on long trips. Put Dunlop SP Sport A2 tires on it 6 months ago which significantly reduced road noise and improved handling slightly.
Not a bad little sedan
Bought my 2000 ES V6 in 2000 while I was shopping for used Audi A-4's. This is 3/4 the car for about 1/2 the price. Only complaints are that the Left side speaker quite working at about 60k and the Premium sound just isn't the same with one side only. Plenty of get up and go with that V-6 and the interior has held together well. No major problems, but it does go through brakes and tires a little faster than you would expect - of course, one tends to take the turns & twisties pretty fast in this thing.
Good Value
I really wanted an SUV or truck, but found I couldn't really afford one and got a great deal on the Stratus ES, V6, loaded (except sunroof). The car rides smooth as glass. I had two minor problems with it that were fixed under warranty right after purchase (A/C leak and fuel gauge sent bad readings). Both were fixed quickly. My only gripe with the car is that it's cupholders are inconvenient for me, they can't hold the bigger drinks of today. I could use a bigger trunk too but for a midsize car, the trunk and cabin size are good. It's comfortable and rides excellent. The gas mileage isn't bad either for a V6.
Reliable and Fun to drive
I have had the car over 2 years. It has been a very reliable car and has had no mechanical problems. Squeaky brake problems are usually a concern for Stratus cars but mine has had no problems. I have enjoyed driving it.
