1998 Dodge Stratus Base review from North America
"Low quality car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I would not recommend this car to someone that is looking for a reliable form of transportation. I have replaced the brakes 3 times since 1999, it doesn't start easily (have to keep starting it up when it sits for more than an hour) Because it doesn't start easily it also is bad with gas mileage. Other things include the rear defrost is broken, interior lights on dash sometimes go out. Wiper washer fluid doesn't work on drivers side.
General comments?
One of the nice things about the car is that it is very peppy. Pretty fast for a mid size car. It has comfortable seats and all the driver controls are in a good locations. I like the cup holders and it has good head room. Overall the mechanical problems outway the good things about it.
