I've been pleased so far with the performance and upkeep of my 96 Dodge Stratus. However, when I bought it, Chrysler was still considered an American company, and that fact was important to me.

Mine is a used 96 Sebring JXi... fit and finish and materials are sub standard for a car in this price range... generally been reliable, but is rusting out, the odometer hasn't worked in years, when check engine light came on, Crysler technitians wanted to just start replacing parts without any confirmation they were causing the problem.... eventually gave it a tune up, and poof all was fine.. The roof where it meats the body when up leaks in heavy rains...Head Gasket went this year on the Crysler...


As I said, all in all its been an OK car, just fit and finish and general quality has not been up to snuff for what one would expect out of a "luxury" model. I bought it in 2000 with 40k.. its now got 150k.
