Did you get a Sedan or Coupe model?

well the Coupes and the Sedans haven't had any real problems that I know of. I haven't driven a coupe model yet, but I drive a Sebring Sedan LXi a lot and it is one awesome car.

Hola,

I have an '01 Stratus R/T and it's been pretty good to me. My only complaints are that the rotors are cheap and warp quickly (same with Avenger) and the timing belt should be changed at 60K mi (recommended by factory). Other than that, I have not had any major problems with my car and I'm at 75K miles. Oh yeah.....it's a pain in the butt to change the bottom 3 spark plugs.....about a $275 pain in the butt..

The aftermarket rotors are good. We have a local tire chain in Cincinnati called Bob Summerel....their rotors are great and they stand by their work.

As for the plugs, the bottom three are under the engine, so they have to prop up the engine and take off the plenum. THat's why it's expensive. It's a good thing that the plugs are rated for 75K miles.

I have a 2002 RT coupe, about 33,000 miles on it right now.

i have not had a single problem, and my car is driven very hard, to say the least. i had it four days before it was on the track, and in my 2 years, im about to purchase my 3rd set of tires.

actually, ive had one thing, i wouldnt call it a problem. the upper motor mount is noisy, but im an RT site, and it seems like everyone has the mount noise.

oh,and by the way, i changed my plugs at 30,000. and as for rotors there are places onlone that only sell things for the "Mitsu" RT's. they have a pad and rotor set, brembo rotors, and custom pads, for about 300ish. thats who i will go with when i have to buy new binders.
