The suspension is weird. It can have cooling problems.
The vehicle gets me from point a to point b. But I have had a lot of expensive mechanical issues

Great stratus auto, runs like a charm.
It has always run great, is comfortable, never any major problems with it other than driver window no longer works. All my Chrysler autos in the past have been good cars. Has always started even in frigid weather and run great. Would always recommend a Dodge or Chrysler .

People should know my car has been reliable for me for many years
I like that I have had my vehicle for 12 years. I know I can depend on my car. I like knowing I can have my car for a couple of more years

It's expensive when work is needed, but is overall, low maintenance. It tends to use up tires.
This car has been pretty reliable over the years, but when it needs work done, it's always a hassle. Everything is in a place that's difficult to reach - even the tire has to be removed just to change the battery.

Nice economy sporty sedan. Fun to drive.
It is very sporty, quick and responsive. Gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive. The part I don't like is that it already has 115000 miles on it.

A very comfortable & reliable car.
My car is a 4 door sedan and has lots of room inside with a large trunk. The trunk also has the safety feature of the inside trunk release. It is very reliable, have not had much more than routine maintenance & sensor replacements. It is a very comfortable and quiet ride.

The Dodge Stratus Star!!!!
The dodge stratus has ample seating that is great for longer trips in the car. The trunk is large and able to store a large amount of things like groceries.

Possible vehicle problems with Dodges.
It's easy on gas, rides very good. Pain did not hold up well. From what I understand I bought it used and the dealer had it painted and they did not put clear coat on it. Ac only works when it wants too but I head that is a problem with some Dodge vehicles.

The Stratus is a good car for a kid that's starting out driving. It's a 4 cylinder so it takes a little for it to up and go. It's a very comfortable car. I've had the normal maintenance done on. Nothing too outrageous.
It's a slow starter at up and go! With it being a bigger size car, you would think it would have more power.

Would not recommend, but works okay.
This car is rather loud and has some transmission problems. Runs fine, but all of the electronics (radio, lights, and cruise control) have problems. I've had to replace a few fuses. It's comfortable and easy to drive, with plenty of interior space. It's a little low-seated, so getting in is like falling to the ground sometimes.

My beaten up reliable awesome stratus.
I mean it gets me to a to b but because it is used and older, it does have it is issues. But for the most part I love it; it has it is rust, oil issues along with the exhaust being busted. It is a reliable car and cannot wait to trade it in for a newer version.

It's very pleasing to the eye and has very good gas mileage.
I like how it looks like a sports car. I dislike how low to the ground it is. I like how fast it is.

The Dodge Stratus is a great mid-sized single or family car: reliable, sturdy, and comfortable in it's interior design
The vehicle is physically comfortable, the seats are fabric, so they do not get too hot or cold. The car is sturdy and reliable. In nine years I've only needed basic replacements, including the serpentine belt, brakes, headlights, tires, and this year it needed a new starter. However, it has had no major problems, and considering the mileage and the constant city driving, the car has really stood the test of time and use. I do regular cleaning, oil change, liquid checks, and maintenance. If you take care of this car, it will last a long time.

The gauges that tell you how the motor is doing.
My car is very dependable, has very good suspension, has nice electronic gauges for importance of a safe ride. Hs plenty of room in front and back seat, is very good on gas with the 2. 4 engine that Its got, the interior is nice velour seats which ads quality and endurance to a much fabulous ride, air conditioner is very powerful and relaxing.

Betsy the best blue car:).
This car was my older sister's before it was mine. I was originally very upset to get a hand-me-down, but after having it for now three years, I am very grateful for all the places it has taken me. It is very reliable and has great gas mileage. I have driven it to Mississippi multiple times (16 hour trip total). No issues so far. Great car for a person just starting out!
Rachel M

It rides smoothly, but you can definitely tell it is over ten years old.
Since my car is several years old, there are some performance issues. The check engine light tends to come on a lot and then go off by itself within a day or two. The car will also make weird noises sometimes, and I get nervous about whether or not my car will start.

The reliability of the car.
The stratus is a good car. Have only had very minimal issues to include replacing the battery, replacing the alternator and replacing some fuses. The car does really well on gas mileage and also runs smoothly. The car also have a nice interior and sleek outside design.

Warning signals may not always be accurate. Sometimes turning the car off and on takes care of the problem.
Sturdy structure and reliable with high mileage. Only complaint is exterior is prone to rust.

Family friendly and very reliable.
The Dodge stratus was my very first car and I have had it now for four years. I love the fact that it has a sunroof and is sporty looking but not small. It's very reliable when taken care of, super comfortable to drive and fits 3 car seats perfect with a little extra room. Just now because its getting older it's starting to have a lot of things it needs replaced but honestly if it was the same car in a 2018 I would buy it again,

Owning a 2006 Dodge Stratus
I've owned my car for about two years now and I really do like my car. It drives really good and is very roomy. It has a V6 in it and surprisingly I get good gas mileage as well. It has AC and cruise control, which are great to have. It does not unfortunately have the Aux port nor does it have Bluetooth. Mechanically the car has been good except for the rear struts which seem to be a problem with this type of vehicle.

Low maintenance Dodge stratus.
Very reliable did not need any repairs and low maintenance. Gas mileage was average. Slow acceleration on hills. Interior design was average. Low wearing clothes interior. Great sound with CD player. Setting the clock was complicated. I liked the exterior design the most. Overall resale price is good.

Dodge stratus 2006 road trip ready!
The windshield wipers don't clean window adequately and the wipers malfunctioned and needed repair. The timing chain broke twice. But with several other problems, I love the ride and comfort of the dodge stratus. The stratus also has Sirius radio and a nice CD player with good sound. The transmission has run well since 2006. Two of the power windows had to be repaired as well.
Lisa J

Great first car for anyone.
My vehicle is amazing. No issues at all. Bought it second hand for only $800 and only 115k miles. My first car I have ever owned and I couldn't be more happier about it. Only issue was the stereo and the driver's side door panel but we got both of those fixed and it runs amazingly.

My review of my 2006 dodge stratus.
My 2006 dodge stratus is a very nice car. It has been very reliable. The only thing I don't like is how low it is to the ground and the roof of the car is very low, other than that I have nothing bad to say. One thing I really like is it has a very large trunk.

Dodge stratus-up and down.
This car is great on miles to the gallon, it is a 4-door and very spacious even with five passengers. The trunk is spacious also. This is the second stratus I have owned and both had some issues with transmission and head gasket work needing done. Because of expensive repairs I am disappointed with the purchases.

The only interesting thing is how far you can drive on a tank of gas.
We have had to put a new engine in the car about a year ago. The air conditioner does not work and the windows do not want to go down. The gas gauge is broken to. It is a good travel car because of the how far it can go on one tank of gas but in the long Rollin it is not worth buying.

I really like my dodge stratus because it is pretty dependable. My only problem I've had with it is after ten years its window motor went out for one window. Besides that everything else has worked and stayed working beautifully for me.

It's reliable but some off the engine parts are in odd places
It gets really good mileage but changing the battery is a huge hassle because the battery is located behind the drivers tire
Stephanie P
on April 7, 2019
The battery is located behind the tire so it requires the tire to be removed for battery replacement, total design flaw.
Vehicle has several mechanical issues that are expensive and difficult to keep up with. Size of vehicle is not the greatest for travel. Fuel efficiency is awful.

It runs well and has air conditioning and heat that really works!!
I like that it runs and that the air conditioning still works. It's got a sporty look that suits me. The only thing I don't care for is that it sits too low to the ground and is a bit difficult for me to get out.

I find it to be a pretty reliable vehicle with pretty decent gas mileage. I can fill up my tank and it lasts about 2 weeks on average for my usual usage. I have not had any major mechanical issues with it and it's not broken down on me in the 3+ years I have owned it.

Very good and comfortable car, but better options available in market.

It's a good starter car but its not gonna last in the long run considering how something new goes wrong every other day now.
She was a good little car when we got her but she's been falling apart over the last few years. She has trouble getting up steep hills and I often wonder if shes gonna give at and start rolling back. The windows work off and on and the drivers side window hasn't come down in months. She's been good to us but I think it's about time to get a replacement.

2006 Dodge Stratus SXT - Body so sleek you'll think you're driving a sports car.
I absolutely love this car! It drives smoothly and gets me quickly around town, and gets decent gas mileage too. I kind of feel like I'm driving around in a sports car a little bit because of how sleek the body design is. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone I meet.

For a used car, it's been pretty good and reliable.
We bought it used, and for a very good price. It's had a few problems that we've had to deal with, but for what we paid for it, it's a very nice little car. If I had one big complaint, it would be that the automatic door lock/opening fob tends to pop the trunk at random when the battery in the fob is low, which means the car ends up with a dead battery in the morning.
