Either that or most of you are way too tolerant and expectant of American made cars to fall apart at regular intervals.
u are 1 out of 2 people that i have met with a Stratus that hated it. feel sry for u. but I love our Stratus and i know lots of people who do. as for tollerance...if u think Honda's are all great and mighty, then i am sry but i know far more people who are fed up with their Honda's...more of them than i know of people who hate the Stratus.
Don't feel sorry for me. I'm the idiot who bought it from a friend who was the original owner and babied it. Silly me for thinking that it would actually last. I should have been warned by the head gasket that he had to replace just out of warranty. Oh but Dodge fixed it right...the second time...to the tune of more than $1,000. And don't limit the scope to just the Stratus. While I'm not completely informed about the reliabilty of all "American made" cars vs. Foreign, I think it can be admitted that theJapanese and European car manufacturers take the crown in overall quality and stability.

Never owned a Honda before. Toyota is one make that is unarguably one of the best if not THE best automakers in the world.Had a Celica that ran for 247k on original tranny, clutch, engine with nothing more than routine maintenance performed - not even a head gasket. Sure, there are exceptions and people get lemons no matter what. It's just the nature of the product. I can safely say however that I will never consider buying (or acquiring for that matter) a Dodge/Chrysler product again (unless it is pre-1980). I'm glad others have had better luck than I.
