2000 Dodge Stratus SE review from North America
"An all around great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major to speak of. My O2 sensor blew at about 40,000 miles and I had to replace my brakes, but all in all I can't really complain about repairs.
General comments?
I absolutely love this car! I have not really had any mechanical problems except for the minor ones listed above. I love the body style of the car and I love the way it drives.
The cup holders are poorly designed as you can't fit most cups in them and the shifter is in the way which makes it impossible to put the car in park with a drink the in cup holder.
I would keep this car forever if I did not have 2 small children. The trunk is very small and you can't fit much in there if you put a standard size stroller in it.
All in all it is a fabulous car with comfortable seating and great performance. I am very pleased with it. Like I said I would keep it forever, but with children comes luggage and I don't seem to have enough room.
