2002 Dodge Intrepid SE review from North America
"If it can handle everyday driving of me... then I'd say it's one hell of a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shortly after purchasing the car, the
engine bottom end had to be replaced due
to a faulty oil sensor. The dealer replaced it and nothing else has gone
wrong with the car.
General comments?
I'm not sure why so many people are having problems with the motor. Because
I'm sure no one drives them harder than I do.
The car is actually quite impressive to be so large with only 200
horses and 190 ft. lbs. torque. One of my managers has a 03 mustang gt 5-speed.
He gets me from low end, but I've got him in top end. It's just the base model, but it will still hang with v-8 trans ams. Ws6...that's another story. It's not even my car, and to be honest, I don't even give a crap.
Just giving props where it's due. I've
driven some pretty wicked cars, like
a Mitsubishi Lacer EVO VIII, couple of
Modded AWD turbocharged Talons and Eclipses. I'm not saying that the base
intrepid fairs very well when compared to these cars. But what I am saying is
the intrepid is in no way a piece of junk.
