1998 Dodge Stratus LX review from North America
"Nice Wheels - some maintenance required"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door panel separated from driver's side door. Front left wheel bearing needed to be replaced at (122000Kms). Oil cap needed to be replaced and oil light keeps coming on when the brake is applied, but the oil level is fine.
The cruise control is really flaky, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
General comments?
Nice car, but it has some annoying problems. Has surprising pickup for a small, inexpensive car and I find it handles very well on the highway and in the city. The cabin is spacious and nice, but for one thing (like everyone else) the cup holders suck!
