2000 Dodge Stratus Consumer Reviews

This was my first car, and as a stepping stone to bigger and better cars, it is a solid choice. Relatively cheap, small tank to fill, costs are pretty low. Because of it's age, dealers have to work with it well in order to get it to sell at all. (Preferably a "B" Dealer.) A convenient bridge from one car to the next, but not much more. Dealing with the winter, it depends on the tires. But the car's front is low to the ground regardless. So if your winters are as bad as Michigan's, don't expect it to last through many of those.

I bought this almost new in 2000 for just over $10,000 and 15 years later it now has about 90,000 miles. It's been a good reliable car, relatively few repairs, starts in the coldest weather, comfortable, good mileage, and pretty fun to drive. Peppy engine and decent handling. Selling it now because the family needs something bigger, but otherwise I'd keep it until it falls apart. I still think it's a pretty nice and distinctive looking car compared to most from that era.

Had it for two years and have put fifty thousand miles on it roughly. Haven't had to do any real work to it besides common maintenance.

This was a very good car for years until repairs were needed. If this car needs repair, even a tune-up, it will cost you more because of the inassessiblity of key components. The engine is crowded to make room for all six cylinders. Four on top and two beneath the manifold. Also most places won't even replace the battery because it is in the wall of the fender.You will be charged extra for the extra work involved with repairs and maintenence. So-so on gas. Drives well. Turning radius kind of limited in very tight places.

On the whole, this little Dodge gave me everything I asked for. It was fun to drive, it looked great, it got good gas mileage, and held up a lot longer than most folks would have believed. We purchased it new in June of 1997 with 7 miles on the oddo. Now, at 283,550 miles, we are actually considering replacing her, with the new Dodge Dart - the first new Dodge in 10 years I actually think looks as good (or better) than the Stratus. We will still miss this car.

I'm happy with this car, I'm only selling it because I now need an suv. I've had this car for about 3 or 4 years (I purchashed from my daughter) and no problems other than general, regularly scheduled maitenence.

Everything is perfect in about this car, but can't lie to you. It has some problems: 1-Gas meter is not working, so I fill out the tank every week, even if still has gas in. 2-Might need front tires. 3-Very small paint job on the passenger door side. 4-And sometimes rear windows don't roll-down.

Had a 98 with ending miles at 275000 and it was still going strong when we sold it , i might add , for a profit.It was just an all around good car and now after a few mistakes we have decided to look for another one. luv strats in mo
