1995 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
"Considering the more reliable vehicles it its class cost 25% more, I am a happy owner."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front Suspension: To date, 7 of the 8 tie rod ends have been replaced. One of the outers has been replaced twice. (This seems to be a common complaint of other owners).
Transmission: Had it rebuilt with updated kit at 120000 miles. (Another common complaint).
Headlights: Adjusters broke on both sides. I chalked it up to poor design. (I didn't repair it. It is a minor inconvenience)
General comments?
All things considered, I am happy to very happy with my Intrepid. Sure, it has been in the shop time and again to one by one replace the tie rod ends, but the vehicle has 180000 miles on it.
I get mid to high 20 MPG and it starts every winter, (Minnesota resident).
It is not a sports car, however for a car of this size it handles very well, especially at freeway speed. Acceleration is more than adequate for any situation. During panic situation it is very predictable.
The interior noise level is not the best, but I can't afford a BMW. I love the car for what it can do.
