  Unbelievable!!! - 2002 Dodge Stratus
  By SilverGhost - September 7 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car after owning a 97 Avenger ES Coupe. I thought that car was great. This one is 10 times better than that one. It has a very fast 2.7L V6 Magnum engine. The handling is the best I have driven in a car (and that includes the BMW 3 Series). There is plenty of room in the trunk and in the interior. Great styling and an awesome ride all for under $25K.

  My bad experience - 2002 Dodge Stratus
  By PghGirl - July 11 - 10:55 pm

  I would never buy a dodge as long as i live. This car has had way too many transmission problems. It went in over 20 times for the transmission. Plus, when other things go wrong, you have to buy from Dodge directly. They also lied to me at the dealership. Was suppose to have a five year loan, have a six year. Never buy this car. Huge mistake.

  Good car with great mods - 2002 Dodge Stratus
  By sam - July 6 - 6:52 pm

  I bought the car for my wife, we have had it for 6 months and the only thing it has needed was an oil change. It came with after market mods like act Clitch and AEM air intake and Borla exhaust system. And aftermarket stereo system.

  Dodge needs some work - 2002 Dodge Stratus
  By collegemike1 - June 15 - 11:58 pm

  I bought this car 05/2006 and when I test drove the car it was flawless. I fell in love! But months down the road, one thing after another happened. First it was the awful windshield complications, then the noisy dashboard which in actuality cracked somehow, the brake rotors I have to constantly get replaced, the rear view mirror wiring is really awful I have to rig it everyday just to get light in my car at night, my radio completely went out had to completely buy a new radio system, motor mount, dont even get me started on engine complications. Too much to detail. Couldnt pay me enough to buy another Dodge. Wouldnt recommend Dodge. Period.

  A/C nightmare - 2002 Dodge Stratus
  By M. Shot - April 21 - 6:53 am

  Ive had my Stratus R/T for 2.5 years and 3 dealership have not been able to fix the A/C. The last dealer to attempt to fix it told me they were on the phone with the engineers in Detroit. Apparently they dont know how to fix the A/c either. Ive also had the wiring harness for the automatic rear view dimmer and map lights replaced. They still only work half the time. Other than that the car isnt all that bad.

  transmission - 2002 Dodge Stratus
  By south carolina - March 20 - 8:43 am

  I bought the 4 dr 02 sedan Dodge Stratus just a little over a month ago. Now, the transmission has gone out. You all were right when posting about the transmission in this car. Glad I got to the two year warranty, Dont have to pay a dime. The car runs great, other than the transmission, everything is good.

  Great car - gonna miss it! - 2002 Dodge Stratus
  By stratusgirl - May 5 - 8:47 am

  I loved my Dodge Stratus - the reason I say "loved" is because Im about to sell it to my brother. Im upgrading to an SUV with 4 wheel drive, but if I wasnt, I would keep my Stratus. I also owned a 98 Dodge Stratus before I was in an accident and totalled it out, but my first choice was again, another Stratus. They are great looking, smooth confortable rides, good fuel economy, great get up and go and overall fun to drive. I never once had any maintenance issues with either Stratus I owned. I only had regular oil changes and that was all I ever had to do - these are great cars!

  Dont waste your money! - 2002 Dodge Stratus
  By Melissa - April 3 - 12:55 pm

  I bought the car because I loved the look, and it seemed great durning the test drive Its had issues since I bought it! The steering wheel mysteriously locks up, then releases its self, the brakes and rotors have been changed many times, by different people, so the constant squeaking and grinding I know has to be a problem with the car. The dash board rattles, the road noise is horrible, the windshield wipers are a joke (not the blades, the bolt holding them on, the part that squirts the cleaner, etc) And now the trannys going out. Theres so much more to complain about but Ill just leave it as Ill never buy another and highly suggest no one else does either!

  By RT in NJ - March 24 - 6:40 pm

  The car will provide you the best value for your dollars. The car is so stylish and head turner. People will ask if its really a Dodge. A lot of power and fun to drive, either. This car is awesome!
