Overview & Reviews

The 2003 Stratus coupe gains revisions to its front and rear styling and an updated instrument panel and center console. The SE coupe is dropped in a sense; it will only be available to fleet buyers, such as rental car agencies. Sedans continue as before except the SE Plus is subtracted and the V6 engine (with the automatic transmission) is now flexible fuel-rated, meaning it can run on ethanol as well as gasoline.

• Exceptional value, attractive shape, fun to drive.

  Excellent middle of the road car - 2003 Dodge Stratus
  By sac86738 - September 28 - 2:00 am

  Realize that this is not a performance car, so performance gets an "average." Comfort-wise, the seats are cushy, and the steering wheel feels good--not cheap. Fun to drive? Not particularly. Interior is well thought out, very simple. The styling of the exterior is pleasing to my eye, especially the shorter windows. It has a kind of "meaner" look to it than its predecessor. As for reliability, it always starts up as soon as the key is turned--no delays. Ive never had a problem with my 1999 Stratus, and I sure dont expect to have too many problems with this one.

  Stratus R/T - 2003 Dodge Stratus
  By BobALoo - September 26 - 2:00 am

  Purchased a Deep Red R/T and have had lots of compliments. The new look is cool. A lot of options installed, makes it fun to drive. The Infinity sound system is awesome too. A very efficient, safe, and reliable car. Well worth the money.

  awsome car - 2003 Dodge Stratus
  By stever k - September 19 - 2:00 am

  This car is a dream to drive. For the amount of money I paid for this car. Im 62" tall and this car fits me perfect. The 2.4L engine runs like a champ with the 5spd. I love the 32mpg on ave. A car this size getting that good of gas mileage. WOW!! I would not tell any one not to get this car..

  I really enjoy my Stratus b/c it has a lot of get up and go. There is a slight delay when you are taking off but once you do...look out. The 6 disk cd changer in the dash with the oontrols behind the steering wheel is very convenient. I like it much better than having the controls in the front. It could stand to have a litte more leg room in the back though!

  Nice car, but milage stinks - 2003 Dodge Stratus
  By redpony - September 1 - 2:00 am

  The fuel milage is awful. We started out getting 22.7 in town, but the milage has fallen with each suceeding fill up to 16.5. We can only get 25 on the highway. Also on days with a temps over 115 the idle is erratic. The car will almost stall coming a stop. On one very hot 126 degree day the idle jumped to 2000 rpms causing the car to lurch forward almost causing an accident. The dealer can find nothing wrong and says that the Chrysler Eng. Dept. claims this is normal for all Chrysler 4 cyl. engines in hot weather. Chrysler Corp. wont help so I have filed a complaint with the NTSA regarding the sudden engine acceleration problem.

  Dont dodge this Stratus - 2003 Dodge Stratus
  By KeithFLA - August 2 - 2:00 am

  What a surprise. I bought this car a little over a month ago. So far, so good. This car sits really low, and hugs the road. The cockpit of this Stratus surrounds me well. I have a stocky build, but I am comfortable in this car. You will notice more head room than its cousin, The Eclipse. The 4 cylinder provides adequate acceleration. The outside road noise is quiet. The shape of the car cuts right through the wind at high speeds. Overall, I am pleased, and I did not break my bank.

  By Stratus R/T 03 - July 12 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my 2003 Stratus RT in December of 2002 after my 2002 Chrystler Sebring sedan was totalled out. I was hit by someone(estimated to be driving in excess of 65 mph)that ran a stop sign. Almost everyone that saw my Sebring said that I should have been killed, but I walked away from the accident with a few fractures, lots of brusies and a fear of driving. About a month after my accident I found my Stratus R/T and purchased it. I feel safer in it than I did in my Sebring. My Stratus R/T has helped to restore my life.
