• Low pricing, solid handling, large trunk.

• Unrefined drivetrains, uncomfortable backseats, subpar build and materials quality, looks positively dull next to the Charger.

  I Love this Car! - 2006 Dodge Stratus
  By M Phillips - April 5 - 8:29 pm

  My husband and I bought this car about a month ago. We were looking for something roomy enough to fit our 1 year old car seat comfortably as well as me who is 61. Well, we found it. This car is awesome. My husband loves the fact of how sporty the car looks even thought it is a mid-size 4 door. The compartments are great and the car gets awesome gas milegage. Roomy and just a nice overall interior. Could not ask for a better car.

  Dodge Stratus #1 - 2006 Dodge Stratus
  By Bill - February 6 - 4:59 pm

  The car is a pleasure to drive, it handles very well, it feels light and nimble. It getts good fuel mileage. I have been getting 28mpg week in and week out. I am happy with the performance, it is a 150 hp 4 cylinder and it feels very strong off the line.

  Solid Build Great Car - 2006 Dodge Stratus
  By travelin man - February 2 - 4:57 pm

  I am a cross country sales rep and drive an average of 30-40k a year. I recently sold my 02 Dodge Stratus with 194,550 miles with no problems whatsoever. I change the oil every 3- 5k and it gets me where i want to go. Solid car. My 2006 SXT has 55k on it already and has been just as reliable. How can someone buy a Camry for 4-6k more? I havent yet figured that out. I owned an Accord before my Stratus and lost the vtec engine at 100k. Pretty bad Id say. For the price and reliability you cant beat a used domestic.

  Great Family car - 2006 Dodge Stratus
  By luckieleah - January 19 - 11:42 am

  We have owned this car for a few months and absolutly love it! We had been looking for a toyota or Honda, but decided on the 06 Stratus instead because of the space and price. Since we were buying a used car, it was an added bonus that the car still had a factory warranty! We have a 2 year old boy and the car is big enough that we can haul all his stuff around and still have plenty of room for the three of us and a guest or two. My husband and I are both above average build and the front seats are very comfortable for us as well. The longest trip weve taken was a four hour drive through Kansas and the car handled well and we had no spacial complants as well. Great car!

  My evaluation GSW - 2006 Dodge Stratus
  By Gordon S. Weiss - October 30 - 7:59 pm

  It would be nice to have a deeper and longer trunk area, a telescopic stearing wheel, and electric front seats. The dashboard controls, gear shift, and emergency brake are very user friendly. The night lighting on the dash is very easy on the eyes, and not distracting. Front seating is confortable and tapered nicely. Back seats a confortable, but could use a little bit mor leg roommainly for long drives. The vehicle handles extremely well and is very responsive. Brakes are strong. Gear shifting is nice and smooth. Noise level (outside) is very good. The ride and suspension are smooth and enjoyable. I feel we got a very well made, solidly built sedan that meets our needs.

  Needs a little work - 2006 Dodge Stratus
  By Sammie - October 26 - 7:44 pm

  I love this car. Very sporty but still a family car. The only problem is my car had only a little over 14,000 miles on it and the block cracked. Its something that is happening to a lot of them.

  Great car for the money! - 2006 Dodge Stratus
  By nightram - May 16 - 3:57 pm

  I have owned this car for about a month now, and it is great! I have really no complaints about it. I have had many cars in my day, but this one take the cake so far. It is a smooth ride, handles nice, and lloks good. Even the SXT looks sporty, and it is very nicely equipped for the money you pay. The only gripe I have is the weird shift it has every once in a while, but no car is ever perfect.

  Good "First" New Car - 2006 Dodge Stratus
  By Mike - December 20 - 3:56 pm

  This is a great car if youre new to the "new car" market. Easy to drive, has what you need, and nice safety features as well. Back seat is spacious and the flip down seat is nice as well. Overall, the Stratus is a good sturdy car for the just-out-of- college buyer (like me).

  The best car in town - 2006 Dodge Stratus
  By dana - September 13 - 1:48 am

  This car is nice and sporty, also it is very roomy in the back and has lots of power. I would recommend this car. It has everything that any other car has except for heated seats and navigation system, but thats ok because who needs all that. I just want the speed and the look because its a sporty car and fast. It is a womans car for sure.
