Overview & Reviews
The Stratus coupe has dropped for 2006, along with the SE and ES models of the sedan. The R/T model gets body-color ground effects, new wheels and a rear spoiler with magnesium wings. Inside, the R/T receives new leather seats and updated trim.
- Low pricing, solid handling, large trunk.
- Unrefined drivetrains, uncomfortable backseats, subpar build and materials quality, looks positively dull next to the Charger.

I Still Dont Regret This Purchase - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By kaseyk - September 21 - 2:00 amI bought this car with 24,000 miles on it, I was the second owner and I must say that 2 years and 55,000 miles later, I really dont have any complaints. I used to commute out of town for work (about 65 miles a day) and I have gone on many out of town and out of state trips on this car. I have not had any problems out of my stratus except for the driver side window motor has gone out. Yes the windshield does have a few spots but nothing worth complaining over. Overall I must say that I love this car and it was probably the best purchase I have made, if they still made them Id probably get another one

Love My Stratus!!! - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By dianaprince - February 25 - 8:05 pmMy husband and I bought this as a family car back in 05. Weve driven it clear across the country and back several times, and racked up a lot of mileage that way but didnt pay much for gas! I Love the amount of trunk space and interior space it has! We made several cross country trips with 2 adults, 2 small kids and 2 large dogs, and all our stuff in the car (luggage,food, and strollers) and still had plenty of room. Its 2010, Ive had this car for at least 4 years now and I still love it! Best car Ive ever owned!

Really Like ! - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By Eileen - December 12 - 2:08 amI recently acquired my Dodge as a gift from my children, It is gunmetal grey,which is nice as it appears to change colors, depends on weather conditions,looks nice on the road. Gas mileage is ok but not as good as we had hoped, and I do not put my foot to the metal.Like the way it handles.

Has been a good vehicle for me =) - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By Arianna - August 29 - 11:42 pmBought my 2006 Stratus last summer and Im glad I did. I have had no problems with it yet *knock on wood* and its been a very enjoyable car. I recently went on a road trip and I didnt even need to fill up the entire way there and back! Its amazing the gas mileage you can get with this car. I definitely dont waste time at the pump aha! The 4 cyl engine is good, but I can see why the V-6 would be better for the size of this vehicle. It didnt handle amazingly well last winter (in NY) but considering I live up on a huge hill, what can you really expect from a car? I cant really complain about it, Ive had a good experience with this car, and it makes me want to buy Dodge again.

My favorite car ever! - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By eagle20000899 - July 25 - 9:54 amHello. I bought this car to be my "family" car and I have been very happy with it. I have already been on some long trips and a lot of city driving and it just does everything for me. I have only had a few problems, but I plan on keeping it for a long time.

I love my Stratus - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By Mutt - February 22 - 11:18 pmI have a metallic black, with brindle interior, SXT and it looks great. I added gold pin stripes and it really sets it off. The 2.4L DOHC 4cyl is a good, reliable engine, however it lacks power when the car is loaded with people and luggage. Especially going up hill with the A/C on. The V6 is a much better idea. My mileage is 22-24 avg. in the city and 30 to 31 hwy. Im a 61" male and find I need a power drivers seat or my head hits the ceiling. After several back and neck surgeries I have problems riding in many cars but the power drivers seat fits me well and w/o the lumbar support its very comfortable. It has a nice ride, the handling is great as is the visibility.

diamond in the rough - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By 06stratussxt1 - October 29 - 7:39 pmI have a 2006 sxt with the 2.4 sport package. It performs awesomely. For a four cylinder, slow off the line but great power after 30 mph. To help further my mpg I got a cold air and it jumped my 150 horsepower to a whopping 175. Also I put in a tornado fuel saver and it jumped my hp up to 180. It keeps up with my sisters grand am gt. Great car care equals great performance and reliability. The front and rear sway bar provide great handling. The tight steering responds great. Fuel mileage is great after cold air and tornado, 28 in tow and 35 on the freeway doing 80. The only thing I can say is car care 100%

Happy I found this car - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By Patrick - July 22 - 12:32 pmI bought this car in December of 06 and have been happy ever since. The mileage on the highway is incredible. If I keep the tires correctly inflated and use cruise-control I get over 30 mpg. In town is another story. The mileage plunges. I used to think poorly of Dodge until I owned this. It is very comfortable for me, though it isnt as refined as a more expensive luxury car. But for the price I am willing to overlook some small drawbacks such as cheap dashboard plastic. The interior is ergonomically perfect, not too flashy and not too sparse. Overall this has been perfect for me. One more thing, Dodge made it very easy to perform the maintenance on this car and save money.

Pure Awesomeness - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By Mac - July 20 - 9:16 amThis case has a rear spoiler and is SO sporty looking for a sedan. I am in college and wanted a car that was reliable, roomy, and good on gas. Didnt want a coupe! So sporty, smooth ride, and UNBELIEVABLY cheap. Great car, would suggest!

Fun car - 2006 Dodge Stratus
By pacer71 - July 4 - 7:17 pmI really have been enjoying this car. We bought this car as a fixer for our credit, and had a choice between this and a Dodge Neon, no comparison. I am the primary driver for this car and have found that I make excuses to do things just so that I can drive it. Its a blast to drive and seems pretty sporty for a 4 cylinder.
