1997 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
"Super Car. Mopar builds some great machines"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wrecked the car with 97,000 miles on the clock. Though the balancer on the engine bent beyond factory tolerances, the engine never quit.
General comments?
This was probably the most durable car I ever owned. It was comfortable, roomy, and mechanical indestructible.
This car was far better than any Ford Taurus I had ever driven.
I sold the car to a high school kid for $250 and he used it for 2 years then sold it for $2000.
