Summary & Specs
reviewed by
In keeping with its image, the Dodge Division has made the Stratus a
fun-to-drive car. With a variety of powertrain combinations, the Stratus
provides a wide range of choice for buyers, from the base model to the
sporty AutoStick V6 ES.
At the same time, the Stratus is packed with creature features and has
superior roominess and comfort to make the ride, as well as the drive,
pleasant.
And the Stratus is less expensive than many of its key competitors.
Stir in best-in-class styling, and you've got a recipe that's hard to
beat.
