Comments
Favorite feature:	The aluminum wheels
Least favorite feature:	The back seat is difficult to get out of because the door is so short
Advice to buyer:	Ask questions at the dealership and make sure they 'know' the car
Detailed review:	I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus SE Coupe. It handles really well, even in winter driving conditions. I love the sporty look; however, Chrysler does not make a spoiler accessory for it, which is too bad. I've seen a couple with spoilers on them (though I don't know how they got them - they must be after-market from outside shops) and they look really good. Overall, I'd rate this car excellent, with two exceptions. Sometimes dealerships have difficulty making repairs because they don't 'know' the car, since it has Mitsubishi parts. I still cannot find a dealership that is able to program me a spare key. Every time I try to accomplish this, the dealership sends me away to somewhere else because they can't figure it out (I'm on dealership # 3 currently). I've also had trouble ordering replacement parts for it, such as tire lug nuts. Parts departments have difficulty looking up this vehicle in their database and as a result, they send me the wrong parts.
