  • Enjoyable Drive - 1999 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    So far I am pleased with the car. Having some problems with high gas consumption (12 m/g city) but otherwise everything works fine. One of the most atractive vehicle on the road. Reviewed a lot of other vehicles before purchase but none had the looks.

  • Could have done better - 1999 Dodge Stratus

    My Dodge Status still gets me back and forth to work but I have had several problems with it that shouldnt happen when you buy a brand new vehicle. Gas gauge stopped working and left me stranded in the middle of nowhere at 1130pm. Also have had to replace speed sensor, had the rotors turned 6 months ago and they alreadly need turning again. Several other problems also.

  • Overall, pretty well done... - 1999 Dodge Stratus

    I have been pretty satisfied with my Stratus thus far. The only major pitfall-I had to replace the head gasket 18 months into ownership ($900). However, the dealership I bought it from helped pay for labor, since the vehicle was much too young for this major of a problem. I like the power I get when I take off, a real neck-snapper!

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

    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.

  • You get what you pay for : ) - 1999 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    My 99 Strat has 73,000 miles on it. Ive replaced the 02 sensor and transmission seal... thats it ($500 total). All in all, its been a trouble- free car that is plenty reliable. This car has great looks and will age well. All in all its a good car for the price. Hard to bash on a car that that was built/priced for the entry-level consumer.

  • overall a good car - 1999 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    This car worths its price. Its strong built, comfortable to drive and pretty powerful. But most of all its very good looking, reliable and good performance for its class. I compared it to Altima and Civic from the same year and betas them easily. It has minor inconveniences, but, hey, I paid just $15,000 on it brand new!

    I have been overall very satisfied with my Stratus. A few things that need improvement are seats need to be more comfortable, more head room, and get rid of the motor tap. I love having the power options of windows, doors and mirrors. It has great pick up for a little motor.

  • AWESOME! - 1999 Dodge Stratus

    Poor handling in snow! If you plan on driving this in snow, then Id reconsider. Traction is poor and has difficulty stopping. Airconditioning is weak, but if you plan on being up in the front, its ok. If you are going to having rear passengers, this could be a problem.
