"I know I called it a great starter car, but this is actually my 2nd car. I previously owned a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder, and i was wary about giving it up, but I feel like i made a good choice. The car rides excellently and is one of the most responsive cars i've ever driven. When I 1st got the car, the speedometer wasn't working at all, and then one day on the ride home from work, it started jiggling wildly and started working again. Also, the engine light would frequently come on even though there was nothing wrong with the car, and my back window motors have appeared to fail. I do love the look of the car, but i wish it were roomier just for personal comfort. Gas mileage is great, a full tank will get me 2 weeks max. Overall, i'm pleased with this Dodge Stratus as my 2nd car."

"I have recently purchased this vehicle, had only 1 problem, it kept dying and wouldn't start without a jump. All it was was the alternator, switched it out and she runs like a demon. The only other problem I have is speed limits....lol. This car is gonna be great with some mods."

"This was the first car I bought by myself. Great car! The only problems I had with it was somehow the wheels got changed and I couldn't rotate my tires. I went to the dealership and got them replaced. I have owned it for 2 years now and Am extremely happy with the performance it has given me! I'm sad to have to get rid of it but where I live I need a 4WD for the winter. Perfomance was great! Would reccomend it to anyone!!"

"I purchased this car used, drove it for 8 days and it died on me. Ran like a champ for those 8 days. Put a new distributor on it, ran for a day- 3 mechanics and almost a $1000 later, it's got to have a new computer. Of course it's a 3.0L so it cost even more. Wish I didn't buy it with all the electrical issues it has!!"

"I have a 2001 Stratus RT Coupe with 67K miles on it now and I have had no problems with this car whatsoever to my surprise. My only maintenance so far is the regular oil changes every 3K miles (I use synthetic oil only along with premium unleaded gas),a set of four new tires and one brake job. I still get compliments from others about this car even though it is eight years old. I have the 5spd manual tranny and the acceleration is more than enough for day to day travel. This car is much more quieter inside compared to my old Nissan 240SX. My only regret is that Dodge didn't continue to produce this model along side the current generation Eclipse platform. For those that don't know, this car is basically a rebodied Mitsubishi Eclipse. The engine,drivetrain,suspension, interior, brakes etc., are all identical to the eclipse. The markings on the engine bay, engine and driver's door jam all state "Manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors of Amercia". Great Car!"

"I bought my 2001 R/T Coupe with 88K on it. At first I was worried about the high mileage but half a year later and 110K miles on it I am impressed. The car runs fast and smooth to the point that sometimes I get shocked when I look at the speed i got a shock I am doing 90-100mph and i don't even feel it!!! The car rides great, handles very well, it is fast and it's a eye catcher. The sound is powerful I have the premium infinity sound on and it feels like u are in the club. Everyday when I walk towards the car I think: Darn!! it is a great looking car!!!! If you like a sporty, fast and great looking head turning car... get one of this!!!!""
