1998 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"High performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I own a 1998 Dodge Intrepid since February 2002. All the work I have done is changing my starter with rebuilt @ Pep Boys.
Since then the car runs like a Swiss watch.
Have to point-out - Intrepid-s are very sensitive to a bad Gasoline - the engine starts hesitating even powers off in idle.
General comments?
Hi, after I read all negative emails I decided to say something good about the Intrepid.
Very roomy coupe and trunk, very stable on turns, excellent pick-up, good gas mileage, very powerful, very good priced.
The best body stile for late 90-s/early 2000; The only 6 cylinder engine that has gas mileage of 4 cylinder, but power of 8 cylinder - better performance then most sports car of its class.
(Here is a good place to compare Dodge Intrepid with Ford Mustang) -
