1997 Dodge Stratus ES review from North America
"Holds up well in crash"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had problems with my transmission. I think the Auto-stick has had some thing to do with it. I've had this problem fixed 3 to 4 times and I still have some problems with it.
General comments?
The car handles great at all speeds. Hugs the road in the curves. Only complaint is where the cup holders are placed.
I recently crashed this car and am waiting to find out if it's totaled. But the car held up amazingly well!! For hitting a guard rail the car looks great!! I will consider buying another Stratus just because of how well it held up in the accident!!
