The Stratum is a mid-sized 4 door station wagon that is available for the player in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. The Stratum has a more streamlined design than other station wagons in the games. It cannot be upgraded in TransFender, but can be upgraded at Wheel Arch Angels in Ocean Flats, San Fierro since it is considered a tuner. It is one of the gang cars used by the San Fierro Triads, the other two being the Elegy and the Sultan. It also highly increases the player’s sex appeal. In GTA IV, after collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Stratum fetching $1,800.
Design
The San Andreas Stratum closely resembles a early/mid-90’s Honda Accord wagon. Considering the performance and dual-exhaust ports, it is likely meant to be a V6, despite this option not being available on the Accord until reaching the fifth generation, beginning in the 1994 model year (It's appearance is also closer to 1994–1997 Accord station wagons).
The GTA IV version of the Stratum still resembles a 1994–1997 Honda Accord station wagon but has the front of a R32 Nissan Skyline. There is a special "Twin Turbo" version of the Stratum in GTA IV. It comes with a small body kit, removed badging, a small spoiler,Twin Turbo badging on the back,and it usually has Candy Red Paint. It is manufactured by Zirconium.
Performance
GTA SA Acceleration and speed are surprisingly good, considering the Stratum’s size. The engine is most likely a powerful V6 and the drivetrain is rear-drive, making the Stratum a good selection as a drive-by vehicle. The body is, however, weakly constructed, making the car susceptible to intense damage from high-speed impacts and heavy gunfire.
GTA IV Despite that it may look a lot like a sports car, the Stratum isn't very fast. Its performance and handling are nothing more than average, it sounds as if it is powered by a small V6 or a large four-cylinder.
