1999 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"A thrifty, roomy, comfortable stylish bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlamps burn out in 6 mos.
Front brake rotors warped when new; dealer replaced them under warranty.
Heat/AC diverter box sticks sometimes.
A/C on/off button is hard to activate.
General comments?
Seats are very comfortable for a larger person.
Fuel mileage is excellent; get 34 mpg average with combined city/highway driving.
Engine is too small and seriously underpowered, but very thrifty.
