2001 Dodge Stratus R/T 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
This car has been awesome. Bought it 8 years ago with 99,000 miles. It now has 186,00 miles on. Unfortunately, it is now hit the end of the road. Motor and tranny are still strong, but as a northern car previously, it is rusting out. Sad to see it go. Love this car. It has been so reliable. Very little maintenance. Replaced the rear brake calibers and emergency brake cable after we got it. That was the most work we put into it. Will probably replace it with another Stratus.

I have had three of these cars in both manual and automatic. These R/T coupes are made in the USA by Mitsubishi and are pretty much the same as the eclipse. I haven't a bad thing to say about them. They are fast, get really good mileage and handle well-especially with some simple modifications; urethane bushings and end links and a reinforcement bar from shock tower to shock tower. The engine is a bit difficult to tear down, but I managed to do the head gaskets on one that I had. If you are thinking about getting one, do it. Lots of fun.

Well, thought i would do my in-laws a favor and buy my mother-in-laws 2001 Stratus when she was no longer able to drive. It had less than 50K miles on it but had been sitting for a bit. I drove it for two weeks and the transmission went out. Replaced the transmission because, heck, it was cheaper than buying a new car. First mistake. There were others after that. Many others. I think my FAVORITE feature of the car was that it would auto-lock at inconvenient times, including once when i was getting gas and the keys were in the ignition. I just donated it to charity with 155,377 miles on it . . . and the heater stuck on "high" . . . good riddance!!
