Its sleek design, featuring a flowing roofline and a muscular hood, was paired with a comfortable interior that could comfortably seat four adults. The Stratus Convertible was available with a choice of two engines: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 132 horsepower, or a more powerful 2.5-liter V6 engine capable of delivering 168 horsepower. Coupled with a smooth automatic transmission, the Stratus Convertible provided a pleasant driving experience, offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency.
Adding to the car's appeal, the Stratus Convertible boasted a power-operated soft top that could be easily lowered to transform the car into a sun-drenched chariot. The soft top's design ensured a secure and quiet cabin when raised, while the retractable mechanism allowed for convenient operation at the touch of a button. Additional features contributing to the Stratus Convertible's appeal included standard anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, and power windows and locks. The car was offered in various trim levels, allowing buyers to personalize their experience with features such as a premium sound system, leather upholstery, and alloy wheels. Despite its affordability, the 1998 Dodge Stratus Convertible provided a compelling blend of style, practicality, and open-air driving enjoyment, making it a desirable option for those seeking a fun and affordable convertible.
