2003 Dodge Stratus SXT review from North America
"Good midsize for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front rotors were replaced at 30k with vented drilled rotors and ceramic pads front and rear, great braking after the upgrade.
Trans rubber lines replaced at 90k (small leak).
Not the most powerful engine, but the mpg has stayed at 25 city, 32 hi way every tank full.
Good roomy economy midsize, easy to service and live with. Still looks and drives like new with 110,000 on it.
Handles very good with rear sway bar upgrade. No oil burning yet. Parts are cheap compared to the coupe and most other cars.
General comments?
Nice hiway cruiser that sips fuel.
Fun in the canyons for a sedan.
