1998 Dodge Stratus ES review from North America
"Probably the most reliable vehicle that I have ever owned next to my Honda"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is actually nothing wrong with my car. Some things that I have had to change are: Timing belt, alternator, and struts.
General comments?
I have found that if you take care of most cars (especially this one) by the recommended service data, given by the manufacturer, then you should see your vehicle lasting much longer than to be expected.
This car has lasted remarkably long for the abuse that I have submitted it through. Yet, I also have made sure that all services have been made at a timely manner according to the service manuals recommendations.
I understand that somethings can go wrong to very nice people, but this is one car that I will definitely purchase again. When or if this one ever stops.
