This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Exceptional value, attractive shape, fun to drive.
Cons:

    love the car. i drove a 92 chevy corsica for 10 years...so this is great. Ive only had the car for about a month, but ive had a lot of compliments. I have never seen another 4 dr R/T on the road though. Not as quick as Id though it would be, but it handles better than I thought. One complaint is that there are only 4 color options

    What a great car - I have never been as happy with a purchase as I am with my Stratus. Its powerful and fun to drive and has more room than most other sedans, esp. in back seat and cargo areas.

    I came from a Grand Prix GTP, 240HP 280 Torque. Im impressed with this car. Its only 200HP and 205 Torque, but with the manual, it feels faster. Its comfortable and fun. Its smaller than Im used to, and I dont think anyone will ever want to sit behind me. Its a little restrictive on the view, hard to see right behind me, but Ive adjusted. Its a great car (with my 200 miles so far) and I would recommend this to anyone (so far). Its got a new look that I like much more than the 2002.

  • I want expecting to buy a Stratus STX - 2003 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    We went the the dealer with a Stratus R/T with a large V6 and auto trans in mind, but met the 5 speed manual STX version and drove it. I was shocked when the salesman told me it was a 4 cyl. It was a beautiful car and extremely fun to drive. We only have 2000 miles on it so I cant comment about problems. So far, we havent had any.

    Ive only put on a couple hundred miles, but here is my first impressions: Fun to drive w/ excellent handling. Good feel of brakes. Steering a little over sensitive, but responsive. Horsepower OK...nothing to write home about. I have noticed a couple squeaks and rattles inside...typical Dodge. Overall, about the most fun you can have in a car that is still practical.
