1998 Dodge Stratus ES review from North America

"An affordable, reliable car with comfort"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I've had this car for nearly four years only one problem ever came to surface: the rear-right window would not roll down from the driver's seat. It turned out to be a lose wire and was fixed promptly.

General comments?

This is one sleek little car. I've literally driven this car all around the United States and have never had a problem with the engine or transmission. It runs smooth and feels really direct when shifting.

The Stratus is not the fastest car in the world, though it was not meant to be. It was meant to be a nice family-size sedan that you could slide into and enjoy taking out on the road. This is what the Stratus is.

The light gray interior of my White 99 Stratus really adds to the mood. Many times I've climbed inside and exited a little more cheerful. Even after four years, the upholstery has remained in great condition. (Even if neglected sometimes) Really beautiful interior, in my opinion.

I'm sure this car will eventually wear down, but after 117,000 miles it's still going strong. There's a good chance I will buy another Stratus when the time comes.
