1998 Dodge Intrepid Base review from North America
"I would buy this car again in a minute - hard to beat for $22K!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's window bracket broke at 80,000 miles; a friend and I welded it.
Had to have a programming modification on the computer (partially flooded the engine when stopped hot) - 10,000 miles.
That's it!
General comments?
Wonderful car - everything I could've hoped for - the combination of style, comfort, SPACE, and features for the money is hard to beat.
The most comfortable "highway cruiser" I've ever owned for long trips - also, the trunk is HUGE!
Handling/brakes are fabulous for such a large car. Brakes are good, but not great (considering it has 4-wheel disks and ABS).
Extremely comfortable seats/ride, and the best interior room in its class.
HORRIBLE rear vision for parking (blame the styling)!
I know its' childish, but I LOVE the sexy styling.
