The 1998 Chrysler/Dodge Stratus Convertible JX was a stylish and fun-to-drive option for those seeking an affordable, open-air experience. Sharing its platform with the Plymouth Breeze, the Stratus Convertible was introduced in 1996 as a mid-cycle refresh and quickly became a popular choice for drivers seeking a balance of practicality and style. This convertible version of the Stratus was available in two trim levels, the base model and the more luxurious JX, with the latter boasting features like leather seats, power windows, and a premium sound system. Under the hood, the 1998 Stratus Convertible was powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 132 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. While not a powerhouse, the engine provided adequate performance for everyday driving, especially with the top down.

The 1998 Stratus Convertible's design was a contemporary blend of curves and sharp lines, with a flowing profile that evoked a sense of elegance. The convertible top, available in either cloth or vinyl, offered a smooth and quiet operation, allowing for a comfortable and enjoyable ride. A spacious interior provided room for four passengers and offered a decent amount of cargo space with the top up. However, the convertible's soft top construction did come with compromises in terms of interior noise and structural rigidity, especially at higher speeds. While not known for its sporty handling, the Stratus Convertible provided a comfortable and relaxed driving experience, making it an ideal choice for leisurely cruising and enjoying the open road. The 1998 model year was the last for the first-generation Stratus, marking the end of an era for this popular convertible.
