The Stratus sedan now offers a Sport Appearance Package on the SXT that mimics the look of the R/T by offering sport instruments, chrome wheels and a spoiler.

Pros:
  • Low pricing, solid ride and handling characteristics, large trunk.
Cons:
  • Unrefined drivetrains, uncomfortable backseats, subpar build and materials quality, looks positively dull next to the Magnum.

  • Good Value - 2005 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    Overall, its a really good value. I always wanted something sporty, but also practical. It has plenty space at the back seats and trunk. Handling is amazing. I do not feel the speed at all and its very confident at high speeds.

    Ive been a little disappointed at the gas mileage. Initially it was 20 miles per gal city, 26 highway. Now city miles are about 15 miles per gallon. Turbo with automatic transmission helps me merge onto the freeway with ease. If I lived in the country or in the desert, I would entertain ordering a 5-speed manual transmission.

  • My cloud car - 2005 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    Totally impressed by my Stratus. I got all the options I wanted, 5k off the sticker and a great deal. Its the classic American nameplate w/some foreign parts that have proven to be VERY reliable. The joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi is great. The same components that are used in the award winning Eclipse are used in the Stratus Coupe, and I could not be more pleased! Stylish, I get a LOT of looks. Feature packed, classy looks, sporty looks, and it performs. Along with a great engine that gets WONDERFUL gas mielage. Ive gotten over 400 miles on 1 tank! I got all I wanted in my Stratus. For being a Dodge, it really has impressed a LOT of people (even me!!)

  • I love my Dodge - 2005 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    I like the way my car rides, and I like the way it looks. Its very dependable. I go out of town with it a lot, and havent had any problems with it.

  • Excellent and sporty - 2005 Dodge Stratus

    This is an all around excellent car. Fun to drive, handles wonderfully and is great looking! Loving it!

  • Not worth it - 2005 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    I wouldnt recommend this vehicle. I purchased mine in nov 04 and have had problems with the brakes, windshield leaking, car stalling, and the engine. The car is very noisy and the engine makes all kinds of funny sounds that the dealership keeps rubbing off as wind noise. Had to have my windshield resealed and the brakes are very loud. Now the car acts like it wants to stall in idle and its an automatic transmission. I have recently purchased a Camry to replace it. Im almost willing to let the bank repossess the car, so what does that tell you? Definately not worth your time and money.

  • Very Good - 2005 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    This is my 2nd Stratus and I love it as does everyone who has rode in it. Its sporty looking and great on gas. Would I buy another one? Perhaps. But Im looking for something a bit larger now as in the new Dodge Charger. Although I love my Stratus. Dodge builds great vehicles I have 5 Dodge vehicles now that includes the Stratus and 4 trucks. You cant go wrong with a Dodge built vehicle they last forever!

  • Love this car - 2005 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    I love it. For the price I paid I think I got a lot of fun car for the money. If anyone is looking for peppy little car, try this one. I have teenage boys that love it too. The biggest gripe I have is it is somewhat difficult to get in and out of, but once I am in its a blast. I get a lot of second looks

  • Awesome Dodge Stratus SXT - 2005 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    I got into an accident where the impact was on the drivers side. The Stratus side crushed, but I was not injured at all thanks to the unique saftey design of the doors. It is an amazing car. If you want to turn heads, this is the car for it. It is very reliable, does well on long trips, and the sound system is great. The interior could be a little more sporty, but otherwise, I love this vehicle.

  • Excellent for the money - 2005 Dodge Stratus
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle in november of 2004 and I love it. Dodge is building their vehicles much better then they used to. I recently found out that they partnered with Mitsubishi and merged with Mercedez Benz. I have the four cylinder and it gets 25 mpg between both city/highway driving, yay! Horsepower is decent. It wont win a race, but its enough, and the interior design is sweet.
