Dodge Stratus Consumer Report

Dodge Stratus received a Best Buy rating from a consumer magazine for the 2004 model year. With a highly dependable selection of engine and transmission combinations, secure handling, great styling, roomy interior and comfortable features, it is indeed a best buy for its market value. Its affordability is one of the things consumers love about this car. Dodge Stratus greatly appeals to those who value both performance and style yet want a competitive purchase cost for his car. It's a perfect mix of great value and performance.

 

Among its positive responses from consumers are: low price, great suspension and exhaust, excellent body panel fit finish and exterior looks, great selection of car features, powerful engine especially on the sporty R/T models, comfortable seats and superb sound system, although the volume control isn’t sensitive enough. Some consumers, however, are not satisfied with its poor resale value. It depreciates in value quickly over time. Although, it provides ample trunk space, front passenger space isn’t sufficient, complains an owner. The car doesn’t handle U-turns or sharp corners well and there's a slight trans noise. Generally, for a sporty and stylish family, Dodge Stratus' price is worth its good starting and acceleration, shifting, steering and handling, braking, ride quality and fuel economy. Despite some problems, it is practical, economical and great looking.
