2001 Dodge Stratus Review Summary & Specs
SE Sedan
Sporty coupe-like styling with four-door practicality.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
The Dodge Stratus Sedan dresses a spacious and comfortable passenger compartment in sleek skin that hints at the sporty lines of a coupe. With V6 power and precise road manners, it compares in behavior to mid-size imports yet beats them in price. The top edition, Stratus ES, loads luxury gear aboard but still keeps a rein on the bottom line.
