1997 Chrysler Intrepid Base review from North America

Well when I first got the car I had to get a new water pump, drive belts, spark plugs and wires (new ones I put in were bosh)

Had to get front cradle mounts put in, but that was due to wear and tear.

Ball joints shot at 180,000 km (wear and tear)

She did eat brake pads, but she had amazing breaks for not having ABS, still stopped on a dime.

Quick acceleration for the size of the car and engine.

One of the nicest North Americans designs for a 1993 Model line up. Sorry Ford, but the Taurus wasn’t even worth mentioning in comparing models.

Sleek, smooth, clean lines and a rock solid car all around. Sold it at 220,000 km to my good friend and he loves it.

As of right now I’m looking to get myself a second Intrepid, still a 1997 with a 3.3 but you know what, no matter what I drove through, any kind of weather that was pushed onto that car, she started every morning and never broke down, she was maintained with her oil changes every 3000 km tranny was serviced every 40,000 km

I paid 3500 for her when I got at 170,000 km it put 600 in repairs, sold it at 220,000 km for 2800. She served me well and I loved driving it.

Chrysler have had a bad rap for bad transmissions and poor steering systems, but I never had a problem with my car.

The 2001 Malibu I had had the engine replaced 2 times, the airbags failed to deploy in an accident, needless to say that was my last Chevy.
