  1998 es 4 door sedan - 1998 Dodge Stratus
  By RR50 - April 16 - 8:45 pm

  I see a lot of negative reviews for this car , so I might have just got lucky. Without any doubt this was the best car I have ever owned and would not hesitate to buy another one . I quit buying Chrysler a long time ago.( I am 50 yrs old) But couldnt pass this one up. Paid $1000 with 135,000 miles on it. It now has 280,000 miles and engine and tranny are still strong.Never one problem. Only changed normal wear parts.(brakes,belts,etc.)

  BEST PURCHASE I COULD HAVE MADE! - 1998 Dodge Stratus
  By Emily - May 11 - 9:57 am

  I bought this car right before my 18th B-Day and couldnt have chose anything better. It had 151,000 miles and now has over 200,000 miles on it and still running. Paid $1500 for it and need some minor repair. But with $4,000 (got all the work done at a dealership) into it I still have no regrets!

  The dodge stratus has been a car that I have always admired. When it first came out I said that is a car I wouldnt mind having. When it was time to get a new (new to me) car, I was able to find the stratus I have now. I have had very few problems with my car & hope to have it for many more years.

  Was a Great Car for Me - 1998 Dodge Stratus
  By JimW8 - July 16 - 9:20 am

  My experience with my 1998 Dodge Stratus (2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine) was very good. The car was completely reliable and gave me only one problem at about 40K miles (transmission cooler hose leaked and was quickly and inexpensively repaired) until it hit 143,800 miles. Then the transmission went bad, so I sold it rather than spend the $1800 to have a rebuilt transmission put into it.

  1998 Stratus w/Auto+Slap Manual Trans - 1998 Dodge Stratus
  By FishTale - July 12 - 5:42 am

  I originally bought this car for my wife to drive. But, when I realized what the "Slap Stick" trans was all about, she had to get in line. This transmission is the best Ive driven, not only for the enjoyment, but for safety. You can be going 60 mph or more while in automatic and then slap into the manual on the fly. The manual trans kicks in, but only as the speed and synchromesh allows. It will bring the car to a slow speed very rapidly, as you slap those gears down. Couple that with the all-ABS, and this is one easy and safe car to control. Ive maintained the trans without fail, periodically getting the full flush treatment. Ive experienced no problems with this unique trans.

  Love this car - 1998 Dodge Stratus
  By Mia - November 7 - 9:18 pm

  I bought this car 6 years ago with 20K miles on it. 3 cross country trips later with over 130k miles and its still in great condition with only routine checkups and TLC needed. I bought another car 2 years ago but we still use this one. I will miss it when we eventually sell it.

  One of the best - 1998 Dodge Stratus
  By Michael - January 5 - 1:07 pm

  Without question, the best car I ever owned. This would include: Toyota, Mitshubishi, Ford, Saturn. The car handles superbly and the V6 has plenty of punch while delivering a very nice MPG. Reliability has been excellent and with 90,000 miles, no problems. A tremendous value!
