2002 Dodge Stratus SE review from North America
"A reliable, economical car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It runs great! No problems.
General comments?
This car is great for driving distances, it's weakness is city driving. My fuel mileage on the highway averages 30 mpg, but in city driving it drops to about 21 mpg.
The neighborhood I live in is built on the side of a very steep hill, so the only way for me to get to work each morning is uphill. The city rarely plows the streets in this neighborhood because they are so narrow, which makes winter driving here extremely challenging. The Stratus takes on the steep, snow covered streets easily and even put my neighbor's brand new Dodge Dakota to shame. It is an excellent winter car.
This is overall the best car I've owned.
