The Stratus coupe is the flashy brother of the Stratus
sedan. While the latter is more reserved and introverted,
the coupe is every bit a showoff. It has plenty of power
and attitude, plus a new muscular exterior design that leaves
no doubt as to its intentions.
The 2003 Dodge Stratus coupe can back up its bark with
a pretty fierce bite. Customers looking for a speedy two-door
should certainly check it out. Take a stroll down to your
nearest dealer, at least if just for a test ride, where
more often than not you'll come away impressed.
Available Models
The 2003 Dodge Stratus coupe is offered in two trim levels:
SXT and R/T.
Interior Features
Even with two doors, the 2003 Dodge Stratus coupe still
seats five, though three adults might find the back a tight
squeeze. These vehicles are primarily built for high adrenaline
adventure. However, they certainly don't sacrifice comfort
on the inside. The Base SXT is filled with a list of convenience
features that make rides as relaxing as they are fast. Air
conditioning, an AM/FM radio player with an in-dash 4-disc
CD changer, cruise control and power mirrors, windows and
door locks top the group.
With the uplevel R/T trim, the following features are added
on top of the already healthy amount found in the base trim:
a leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio controls, remote
keyless entry and an Infinity sound system.
Exterior Features
The new look of the 2003 Dodge Stratus Coupe features all-new
front and rear fascias, grille, headlamps, taillamps, fog
lamps and side sill moldings. In addition, there are new
hood and trunk lid designs and a new grille with chrome
inserts.
Performance
These vehicles really sell themselves with their performance.
The SXT model has a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with 147
horsepower at 5500 rpm and 158 lb-ft. of torque at 4000
rpm. There is quite a jump in power as you step up to the
speedy R/T. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 engine that
churns out 200 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 205 lb-ft. of
torque at 4500 rpm. With both models, both 4-speed automatic
and 5-speed manual transmission are available.
2003 Stratus Coupes are not only fast, they are quiet as
well. A single-piece bodyside aperture and increased use
of sound-absorbing materials all help dampen wind and road
noise.
Safety and Security
For safety and security, the 2003 Dodge Stratus coupe offers
driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags, side impact
bars in the doors and a rear seat center shoulder seat belt,
as well as available side curtain airbags. The LATCH (Lower
Anchors and upper Tethers for Children) child seat anchorage
system is also included.
