"I bought my 2005 Stratus R/T Coupe brand new in oct 2005, and now have 92,000 miles on it. Ive had no major issues with it. Just routine oil change , about to buy tires the second time. (third set for the car since orginal) . And a Tune up witch the dealership charged me 300 bucks because they had to take the whole top part of the engine off to get to the rear plugs. Also My dash started to come apart about 2.5 years ago and keeps getting worse. I sceen a couple other couples and they did the same thing. But overall i love the car."

"I bought my coupe with 60,000 original miles on it, 1 owner, and so far I love it!!! My last car had major window issues so I was sure to purchase a 2 door this time. I love the sunroof, the big windows, the sporty sleek exterior, the leg room in the front, the deep trunk, and the simple dash. This is not a great car if you have any leg problems because it does sit quite low, but if you have long legs it is great! Also, if you live in a snowy area like I do, it tends to get stuck more often than I'd like because of the Sport Suspension. It does handle quite nicely in slick conditions though! It takes a little time to get used to the more limited vision in the backseat, and this is not a car you want if you need a big spacious backseat. Other than that it drives smoothly, gets great highway mileage, ok city mileage, and is excellent for long travels. I love it:)"

"I bought my 2005 Stratus 1 month ago. It has yet to give me any problems. This car is a gas sipper, compared to my Lumina. I love the handling and the engine power (SXT model). I really wish it had adjustable seats (Being 6'1", my head is 1" from the roof) Also a sunroof would have been great. The MPG is amazing. I have only filled it up twice since I go it!! Would 100% recommend this car to family or friends."

"I purchased the SXT Sedan with the Special Edition package. It is an awesome car. I have had absolutely no problems with this car at all. It is very sporty with the rear spoiler and the high gloss, black paint looks great. I bought the car with 90,000 miles and have put on almost 8 thousand more, and still no problems. I would highly recomend this car to anyone looking for a great value, sporty car."

"I purchased this car brand new in 2005 for a great deal for the comfort, style, gas mileage, and dependability of a Dodge that is well-known. It has been a great car and has all the bells and whistles to go along with it. With only 44K miles, it is hard to sell but know that it will be a great car for whomever buys it."

"I have the Stratus SXT with the V6 and automatic transmission and it has been a great car. I bought it used in Sept 06 and have made many cross country trips in it with no problems. I am creeping up on the 100K mile mark and am still getting 27 MPG and have had no issues out of the drive train. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a car with lots of get up and go and still has room for car seats. This is overall one of the best cars I have owned."

"I have the SXT coupe with the Special Edition package.It includes leather interior and power sun roof. The 4cyl. with 5 speed transmission is peppy and still gets 34 mpg on the highway.It has great looks inside and out and it also has a huge trunk so I can fit a couple sets of golf clubs easily. It handles great plus has the dependability of Mitsubishi engineering."
