2000 Dodge Stratus consumer reviews

I GOT THIS CAR 80K ALREADY......NOW ITS 120K STILL RUN STRONG COLD AC 2.4 L IS THE BEST DO NOT BUY THE V6 ITS THE WORST ENGINE.....

I GOT THIS CAR 97K MILES NOW 200K MILES STILL RUNS GOOD....DO NOT BUY THE V6 THE WORST ENGINE FOR THIS CAR....... THE ENGINE OF THIS CAR IS MADE BY MITSUBISHI THEY MAKE GOOD ENGINE....

The car met my husband's needs good on gas plenty of leg room. And no flaws great price range. He needed a larger car for being 6'9 our dealer made sure to stay in budget price range .

Wife"s car for fourteen years. A city runner. Average repair cost untill 2018 when the average cost got more,(per hour). 65,000 miles when the Nissan dealer gave me zilch for it. My fault for trading as we found out at the dealer that State farm had mistakenly cancelled my insurance six monthe before and had no way to get it home on a labor Day Friday afternoon.

Got this car only a month ago. Bought it as is because our other vehicle saw better days and finally went. It is ok but pretty low to the ground which I am not use to. I am hoping it can last for a couple of years to try and get us through. Mainly being used as a point A to point B car. Has some things that will need to take care of but had to get something quick and cheap. At this point it seems to be ok but will see down the line.

I owned a 2000 model and at 92k miles, everything fell apart. Literally the mirrors fell off of it. Just a car to go from point A to point B.

Perfect car for being gas efficient and still having all the power you could want. Extremely comfortable.

Well, my parents have purchased a Stratus SE with 2.4l DOHC engine brand new in late 99. Since then it has been running great even after 90000 miles. This car has proved to be very reliable and it had needed only tires and brakes replacement as well as the common dealer services. No tranny or engine problems so far. Since 2008 I have been using this car as my transportation to college and it proved to be very economic, fast and still reliable. Before this car I didn't trust in Dodge cars but after this one I have totally changed my mind.

I bought our '00 Stratus 4-dr/gold, 2.0L in '03 with 103,000 miles on it for only $4300. It now has 193,000 and still runs great! A fantastic value. The 2.0L engine was last made in '00 after five years, so nearly all bugs were worked through by Dodge, to include the head gasket. Very comfortable car. 2.0L engine does not have lots of power which is exactly what I wanted since this car was driven by our three kids to/from high school and college. Only repairs in last 5+ years have been transimission solenoid pack ($700) when it wouldn't come out of 1st gear one day. Also had freeze plugs changed (leaking) and had timing belt and water pump changed since they had access at same time ($900). Overall there has been minimal maintenance. Engine is still smooth, but transmission shifts hard every once in a while. Today, they are changing oil pan gasket and crankshaft sensor due to leaks. Other than that, it should be leak free and ready for our last child to take it to college. Also switching to high mileage Mobil One synthetic oil. Overall, very pleased with reliability, drive, and comfort.

i love the car but have a real problem with the sunglare on the windshield to the point where it is sometimes dangerous. i drive directly into the sun coming and going to work every day. there have been several times where i have had to pull off the road because i can not see and often do not see walkers or bicyclists until i am on top of them. i even bought good polarized sunglasses in hopes that would help. i would sure love to hear any suggestions someone might have. other than that the vehicle is the best car i have ever owned.
