  • 205,000 Near Perfect and going still.... - 1999 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    I got this car in Sept 2005 with 93k miles on it. 3rd owner. It has alomst 205,000k miles on it in Nov 2011. I have almost all the original parts still working fine on this. It has always started up, doesnt make noises, shakes or leaks. At 140k I changed the shocks, struts, fuel cleaning and all the fluids and filters. I do regular maintaince on this so that is why it has done so well. I did have to replace the AC unit, EGR valve, tie rod, fuel pump, water pump and that was about it other than regular tires, brakes and stuff like that. This is a basic, simple car that when maintained. Runs as good as the day it was created, most people dont maintain there cars. All pluses here.

  • One of the best cars ive ever owned - 1999 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    This car has been in my family since 2000, it only had 17,000 miles on it when my parents bought it and has had no major problems the whole time we have owned it, The car has since been passed down to me it now has 191,000 miles on it! the only things to go wrong with it are as follows, driver side window motor at 30,000 mi covered by warranty,alternator at 70,000 mi 300$, timing belt at 152,000 but that was my moms fault as she didnt know a car had one of those, shortly after was when I acquired the car and the only problems it has given me is the starter at 181,000 and the rear transmission speed sensor the starter was about $120 the sensor was only$17.50 great car I would say.

  • Runs Like a Champ - 1999 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    This was an amazing first car. it has 140,000 miles on it and still runs great. Its about to get towed off though due to hitting a deer at 65mph, but it was still able to get me safely back home. GREAT GAS MILEAGE if you take this on the highway going 65-75 u can get 400+ miles to a full tank of gass. Other than keeping up the maintance,this car has always gotten me from point A to B. Never left me stranded or finding another way to school, work, a date, or any other venue. Almoast feels like a tank in the snow. Getting plowed in i thought it would never make it out put a slight touch on the gas and i was on my was just like that. Though im getting a newer vehcile i hate to part with it

  • A great car - 1999 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    My vehicle was new off the lot. I wanted a car to tow behind my RV. My Stratus has exceeded my expectations. Its been fun to drive & extremely reliable. Only 1 problem so far,the left front headlight assembly had condensation due to a bad seal that was covered under waranty. Its been one of the most reliable and fun cars Ive ever owned. Hate to sell it but need a larger vehicle to hold our family of 6.

  • A great midsize car choice for most. - 1999 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    Having logged nearly 96,000 miles on my Stratus since buying it new in 8/99, Id have to say its performed admirably and dependably. Im pleased with the handling, acceleration and interior room and comfort. Ive only had three non- routine reasons to take the Stratus in for service (the windshield washer pump, blower motor resistor and EGR valve all needed replacing--total cost $300). My only significant gripe is winter traction that seems marginal for a front-drive car. If I didnt live in an area with such harsh winters (northern Michigan), my next car purchase would probably be another DaimlerChrysler mid- size sedan.

  • This Car Rocks! - 1999 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    From the day I bought this car I have enjoyed driving it and have felt safe with its reliability. The 2.4L engine has a lot of power for a 4 cylinder which gives me great acceleration and no problem with passing cars or trucks. The styling is also pretty sexy inside and out.
