1997 Dodge Stratus Base review from North America
"OK Looks, If only it could keep its oil in the engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake Rotors/Pads 5,000 Miles.
Head Gasket 18,000 Miles.
Head Gasket 90,000 Miles.
General comments?
The car is roomy, but the passenger seat is not comfortable.
If it were not for the head gasket & brakes it would be a very good car.
Handles reasonably well.
