The Dodge Stratus, Plymouth Breeze, and Chrysler Cirrus were a trio of compact cars produced by the Chrysler Corporation from 1995 to 2000. These vehicles were part of the Chrysler "cab forward" design philosophy, which emphasized interior space and passenger comfort by pushing the windshield forward and creating a more spacious cabin. All three models shared a common platform and powertrains, but offered distinct styling and trim levels to cater to different buyer preferences. The Stratus, positioned as the sportier option, featured a more aggressive front fascia and available performance enhancements. The Breeze, targeting value-conscious buyers, prioritized affordability and practicality. The Cirrus, aiming for a more upscale feel, boasted premium trim materials and a more luxurious interior. These cars were available with a range of four-cylinder and V6 engines, offering varying levels of power and fuel efficiency. The standard engine was a 2.0L four-cylinder, while a 2.4L four-cylinder and a 2.5L V6 were optional. Transmission options included a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic. Features included power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and an AM/FM radio. Option packages allowed for upgrades like anti-lock brakes, cruise control, power windows and door locks, leather upholstery, and a sunroof. While these vehicles were praised for their spacious interiors, ride comfort, and competitive pricing, they faced criticism for their underwhelming performance and lackluster build quality. However, their fuel efficiency and reliability made them popular choices for commuters and families looking for a reliable and practical compact car.
