1997 Dodge Intrepid ? review from North America
"Pimp mobile until you power window breaks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trunk release button fell out, power window motor broke oil pan blot treads striped engine blew.
General comments?
Comfortable ride, fast enough, in winter great in snow until you push down the e-brake then you slid for blocks and block with the weight of this boat, lots of body role in tight corners. if you want a pimp mobile and you're a lame driver this is your car, but if you're an aggressive drive and beat your car stay away from this thing youll destroy it.
I would never buy a dodge let alone an american car, japanese have us beat, new car is a corolla ce the intrepid was faster, but the corolla is a funner stifer ride that takes my beatings. and take it from me intrepids are not a rally a car.
