So far so good
Got the car from a good friend who takes care of his vehicles. Got it for $550 because someone hit the car on the driver's side so the doors are denied. When I got it it had 193,211 it now has 197,500 the only thing I've done to the motor was change the oil and spark plugs. Needs an oil change again. It does idle a bit ruff until it warms up and it does need the oil pressure sensor. But still runs just fine

276,000 miles and still runs
This is an excellent vehicle! Just be sure to get the timing belt changed at 100,000 miles. I commute to work 100 miles each day. This car was very dependable.

Solid Build Great Car
I am a cross country sales rep and drive an average of 30-40k a year. I recently sold my '02 Dodge Stratus with 194,550 miles with no problems whatsoever. I change the oil every 3- 5k and it gets me where i want to go. Solid car. My 2006 SXT has 55k on it already and has been just as reliable. How can someone buy a Camry for 4-6k more? I havent yet figured that out. I owned an Accord before my Stratus and lost the vtec engine at 100k. Pretty bad I'd say. For the price and reliability you can't beat a used domestic.
Dodge Stratus #1
The car is a pleasure to drive, it handles very well, it feels light and nimble. It getts good fuel mileage. I have been getting 28mpg week in and week out. I am happy with the performance, it is a 150 hp 4 cylinder and it feels very strong off the line.
My car
I like this car. I can't say im in love with it, but I have very high expectations. (I'm a Lexus/ BMWgirl) Other than that it is a great car, never have had any major problems ever. The only thing that bothered me was the fact when I wrecked at 45 mph the air bags didn't deploy. But then I am not sure what speed you have to be going for them to. And that everytime you hit your brakes hard the back seats open and everything from your trunk is now in the cab. But other than that it is a good car to get from a to b so I can't complain. I plan on having this car for a long time.
