1998 Chrysler Stratus LE review from Finland
"2.0 economic, suspension sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head valve gasket blew at 65000kms, got new for guaranty.
Radio is complicated to use.
Remote control key went broken after 4 years of use.
Gas cap is badly designed, difficult to open with very small key.
General comments?
Head lights are lousy.
Ride is quite rough because of the European style sporty suspension. handles well.
2.0 liter engine is economic, but not very powerful. I have reached low 8 liters/100km, and the pickup is done at approximately 11 seconds 0 to 100km/h.
Seats are good, but driver leg room is quite small for over 185 cm or 6" tall person.
