2001 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"Best car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In six years of ownership the only repair necessary was for a broken radio back in 2003. Repaired under warranty. Other than oil changes that is the only time this car has seen the service department. Most reliable car I have ever owned.
General comments?
I love this car. It's a 4 cylinder automatic, so gas usage is not an issue. It has been unbelievably dependable without any repairs other than a radio replaced in 2003.
This car rides and handles well, especially on Interstates. There is some engine compartment noise that gets into the passenger area. Could use a bit more sound deadening material.
After numerous head gasket problems on my old Neon, I almost didn't buy this 4 cylinder Stratus. I'm glad I decided to buy it based on it's dependability over the years.
