Thinking of buying the 2006 Dodge Stratus?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2006 Dodge Stratus; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2006 Dodge Stratus for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Stratus
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Under the hood
Its 2.4L 4-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 10.7 L/100 km, means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $16.59 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Stratus
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
The Stratus in everyday use
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 453 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
Rent the Stratus for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the Stratus tells you more than any review.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2006 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
