2002 Dodge Stratus SE 2dr Coupe Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Dodge Stratus:

The suspension, however, is a bit soft and tuned for high-mileage cruising rather than high-performance maneuvering regardless of which engine you choose.

-- Cars.com

The interior of Dodge's midsize sedan feels pretty basic alongside those of the top imports, but white-faced gauges give it a mildly sporty feel.

-- Edmunds.com

Dodge Stratus Comparisons:

Expect adequate, albeit noisy, acceleration with the four-cylinder engine. We recommend going with the V6, which gets the Stratus up to speed quite nicely in most situations, though not as quietly as a Camry's V6.

-- Edmunds.com

The Stratus sedan is sporty and fun to drive when equipped with the V6, though it lacks the high levels of refinement found in the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.

-- New Car Test Drive

Built on entirely different platforms, the sedan and coupe versions of the Dodge Stratus are significantly different in character. They also use different engines, but each is available with a choice of V6 or four-cylinder.
