A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 65 owner complaints on file, mostly about suspension, engine and engine cooling and steering.
The figures, translated
Power: the 2.4L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 9.8 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $15.19. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 453 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
A test week in the Stratus tells you more than any review. Rent the Stratus for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
