What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Dodge Stratus

"Best vehicle I had."

"I now have this 2005 Dodge Stratus SXT 4dr. I bought in 2004 an 2003 Stratus Se 4 dr with 28,000 miles and kept it 190,000 miles. I got a Pt. Cruiser 2.4 4cyl, yes it was a good vehicle but missed the Stratus with the 2.7 v6. stratus v6 average 25 mpg Pt got 20 average on a 4cyl. Stratus rode better, quieter, performance it quit a bit better. I work at a dealership I driven different brand midsize car and there not a better finer car than the Stratus. The only thing you have to do with the 2.7 v6 is change oil at 3000 mile, and you should have a great running and reliable, comfort, and handling car!!"

"Best reflect you'll see a car in the sunset"

"Best car that i ever owned haves about 181K miles on it and only had to replaced the alternator, battery, tires. The front end is still tight and the rear is still good, still haves the factory balljoints and control arm bushings and non of them are worn out surprisingly! The shine of the car really looks amazing during sunset and daytime. The room in the interior is a little packed but im not gonna complain. They are good cars to own and they are reliable and bulletproof!"

"Excellent Daily Driver - never breaks down!!"

"The 2.7L engine gives you ALL of the power you'll ever need and then some, It gets about 20 mpg so it's not a gas hog. I still love it's styling and think it's an excellent value. Air conditioner, power windows & locks, cruise control, nice stereo system and front wheel drive. I have my eyes on a 1985 Cadillac Seville or I'd keep this car for a long time as a back up car."
