03 R/T Coupe

...I love my stratus. It looks great, rides great, and there are so many aftermarket modifications available due to its common engine with the sebring and eclipse...

#2
The best Car fro the price
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Comfort, power, stylish Cons: nothing I would purchase a another like the Avenger but it is no longer made, the Stratus is the latest model and it is too small. Overall: Great car...

Awesome distinguished ride!

...This car has been the best thing that I have had in a long time!
No one knows what it is, they always say "Hey thats a nice....uhm?...Pont...Ch...What is that?".
The car turns on a dime and at times shocks me with its power (it really moves, pending you know how to shift then it's untouchable).
The cool thing about this car is the aftermarket goodies, I've already purchased an air- raid intake system and will be purchasing a supercharger as well
!! (even though the car does not need it at all). When driving this car it feels as luxury as my parents Infiniti Q45, so it's...

Stratus beats the competition
Source: Edmunds

...I have had my Stratus for a year now, and I love it more every day.
Even though the Stratus doesn't sell as well as the wildly popular Mitsubishi Eclipse, it provides just as much fun and excitement.
You definitely need to get a manual to enjoy the powerful V6 to its full potential. The handling on this car is spectacular, it's comfortable, and it gets great mileage. I highly recommend this car!...

Good value for price paid

...dark purple that looks almost brown.) Purchased new and now has 50K miles, it has performed well. Aside from routine maintenance (oil, filters, brakes, etc...) the only nagging thing has been the blower motor resistor - it's gone through 3 of them so far (controls speed and operation of interior AC/heater/defroster fan.) The first the dealer replaced under warranty, the other one I installed myself at a quarter of the price. Overall I cannot complain - no breakdowns, reliable, about 20 mpg w mixed driving. More than acceptable performance - not super snazzy, but then again I didn't pay for...

I love my car
Source: Edmunds

...I've had this car 18 months. It's fun to drive and beautiful.
Mine is red and got me two tickets shortly after purchase.
Since the warranty expired I have noticed quite a bit of wobbling in the front end, and during a traffic jam it over heated.
Not sure it's going to be economical in the long run. But maaaaaaaaan I love this car...

WOW

...I went looking for a Extended Cab fullsize pick-up when I saw this baby sitting in the showroom floor.
I couldn't help but look it over. I didn't really know that Stratus came in a 2 door, but had to have it well before I even drove it.
After driving it, there was no way I could leave with out the car. It's a large enough car to not feel cramped inside, and still a very sporty car that gets some serious attention all passer-bys...

2001 Dodge Stratus ES, My 39000 View
Source: Edmunds

...The handling and performance reminds me of my 91 Maxima.
A bit more power and better gas mileage. I was afraid of the Dodge reliability but no problems except a rattle that has developed in the last 500 miles, I think it is a heat shield.
The auto-stick is fun, with a bit more torque from the motor everything would really work smoother, I was used tho the Buick 3.8 before this car.
Bang for the buck and the looks of the Stratus pulled me to at least try the Dodge...

#10
Worth the purchase!
Source: Edmunds

...We were in the market last August for a car, and came to Edmunds.com.
Of all the cars we looked up that we were considering, the 2003 Dodge Stratus R/T coupe had the best review.
So we made the purchase and have not been let down!
I would tend to agree with the other reviews regarding the emergency brake placement, but other than that we can't complain! Definitely worth the purchase!...
