2002 Dodge Stratus R/T review from North America
"A lot of fun to drive as well as look at"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing, and this car is driven a lot!
General comments?
I'm actually writing this review on my boyfriend's car. He used to have a 1995 Accord that got merged into by an 18-wheeler, and when he went looking for a replacement after the car was totaled, I begged him to at least look at the Stratus R/T.
I have personally put a lot of miles on the car while he's out at sea (submariner), and I absolutely love this car. It's quick, responsive, very comfortable (except for the cup holder right behind the shifter) and looks great too. All he's done to the car is tint the windows, but that's all it needed. I would definitely recommend the car to someone looking for a distinctive style that's fun to drive and easy to maintain.
The only complaint I have is the lack of after-market performance parts available for the car.
