1997 Dodge Stratus ES review from North America
"Couldn't ask for more in a $20000 car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Couple of recalls, no big deal.
Rubber trim inside the rear doors likes to fall off.
Replacing the fuel filter requires dropping the fuel tank.
General comments?
Great car.. no complaints.
Feels like its super-glued to the road on corners.
Quick, great acceleration at freeway speeds.
High speed emergency stops are short and stable, wet or dry.
Incredible visibility for the driver.
Stereo rocks!
