1998 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"The 3.2L is a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really, just the standard maintenance.
General comments?
The car looks great. Runs Great.
I was looking for a Civic, but couldn't afford one so I decided to take a chance with this Intrepid. I was lucky because the one I have works great. It has the 3.2 L engine, which I have heard is reliable; the 2.7 should be avoided.
I currently have around 160,000 miles on it, and it's still running fine.
The car handles fine. The thing I don't like about it, is it's harsh on bumps.
Everything else I like; the ABS, auto stick feature, and mine also has a display that shows the gas consumption and outside temperature.
I've been getting around 26 MPG on the highway, so I'm happy with that. For a car of this size, it's good.
