Built on a shared platform with the Dodge Stratus Coupe and Plymouth Breeze, the Stratus Convertible boasted sleek lines, a spacious interior, and a comfortable ride. Power was provided by a range of engine options, including a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, with the latter offering a satisfying blend of power and fuel efficiency. The Stratus Convertible was available in a variety of trim levels, catering to different needs and preferences.

Its reputation for reliability and its spacious interior further contributed to its appeal. The 1997 Factory Service Repair Manual serves as an invaluable resource for owners and mechanics alike, providing comprehensive information on every aspect of the vehicle, from routine maintenance procedures to complex repair techniques.
