1998 Dodge Stratus Base review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turn signal switch failed, rear defroster relay failed, headlights had condensation. Nothing major, everything was promptly fixed by the dealer.
General comments?
Good:
Nice overall package. Fun car to drive, good on gas on the highway. Lots of leg room. Handles well, looks good!
Bad:
No rear headrests, headlights lack range, wipers are too slow. Although the engine *can* be pushed, you can tell that it's aching. It's a heavy car, get the V6. Eats gas in the city. Could go well with wider grippier tires.
