  Pleasently Surprised - 2005 Dodge Stratus
  By Rob Watkins - June 24 - 2:17 pm

  I bought this about a year ago. Ive had no trouble with it. Ride and drive is really good and better than I expected. 4 cylinder is quite athletic when the air is off, a bit boggy when its on from a stop. A/C is ice cold. Overall quality is much better than my last Chrysler product, a 96 Sebring conv. People comment on how handsome this car looks and I agree. I know some people have had trouble with their coupes but I must have gotten a good one. I like the dash and door panels a lot. My car has the Special Edition package, which is 2 tone leather seats and a couple other goodies thrown in. Inside, with the blk/gray leather seats is nearly luxurious. Gas mileage is good. Love this car!

  Awsome and Inexpensive - 2005 Dodge Stratus
  By Hope - May 28 - 8:26 pm

  When we first got the car I wasnt so into it. Now I love it. The sound system is great, its comfortable and has a sleek design. We couldnt have asked for a better car at the price we payed.

  By Jennifer - May 17 - 12:40 am

  I got my car an year ago and I love it so much. I only had one problem with it. Thats when my tranmission went out in it. But I didnt have to pay an cent to get it fixed. Its so much fun to drive and anyone who rides with me loves it as much as me.

  A good & reliable car - 2005 Dodge Stratus
  By Annie - May 6 - 12:10 am

  This is a great car whether you drive in the city or highway. It is a good and sturdy car. It does great on gas mileage. I am disappointed at the comfort of the interior. The seats are uncomfortable for long trips. But if you intend to drive this car daily to work and around the city, it is the right size and the right car for you.

  Give it a chance - 2005 Dodge Stratus
  By Naomi - April 12 - 3:57 pm

  I just got this car and it is a very nice car, fun to drive and everyone I know really likes it. In fact 2 of my friends are getting one. It is under $20,000 unlike most cars with the same options. I feel it is a good car with lots of room in the back. My friend is 62 and fit in it w/o hitting his knees on my seat. Overall I give it a 10. My reason I got it is because a friend of mine has had theirs for 3 years and loves it and has been very reliable for her.

  I am Thinking Twice - 2005 Dodge Stratus
  By DeziNNE - March 28 - 12:52 am

  I loved this car when I first bought it. Now I am regreting it. It has had issues since I bought it. Front braking system had to be replaced @ 11,000 miles and it has a frame issue that wore the tires out in 15,000 miles. It has a popping noise in the front end and the dealer says that its nothing. Now I am having issues with the cooling system with coolant just disappearing. It just rolled 24,000 miles and it has had the valve cover gasket replaced, new rear springs, and now needs a new heater core. I am sick of dealing with this car and now I try to get rid of it and it is worth $8,000 on trade in. If you buy this car better bet on keeping it, cause it is hard to get rid of.

  Excellent Value - 2005 Dodge Stratus
  By Chaz - February 24 - 2:13 pm

  This car has everything I need comfort, style and performance. Not all of us are in the market for a BMW. Having read the Edmunds review, I have to say that this car is under-rated and that Edmunds has a certain snobishness when it comes to rating cars. We are not all "Speed Racers" or "Track Demons". This is good solid transportation with style, comfort and a host of convenience features. A lot of what is out there is in fact "over engineered" for the needs of the average driver. Dodge and its parent company have tapped into a market segment where their car does not look like a cookie cutter in style and stands apart from the rest. I have gotten many, many compliments on the car.

  Its great for the money - 2005 Dodge Stratus
  By jarrod - January 30 - 9:00 pm

  I like the car so far. It is a little slow and loud, but thats what you get for havign a four-cylinder. The gas milege improves over time. I have noticed the tires have to stay totally balanced for a good smooth ride. Special edition package is great, looks a little classy, adds alot of value to the car

  Like riding on Air..... - 2005 Dodge Stratus
  By Sherry - December 31 - 12:47 pm

  This car is so comfortable. Not only is it great to drive, but Ive found that it is a nice family car. The only word that I can say is "Comfortable". Very smooth and so far no mechanical problems. I am loving the smooth ride and decent stereo. I think I will have the car for a long time.
