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, and can be upgraded at Wheel Arch Angels Garage. It also highly increases the player’s sex appeal.

Design

The 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. The GTA IV version of the Stratum resembles a Nissan Skyline R32 sedan with a station wagon rear and square taillights. Despite that it may look a lot like a sports car, it is'nt as fast as the real life Skyline.

Performance

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.
