2002 Dodge Intrepid SE review from North America
"On of the best values on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver's side power window came loose.
General comments?
My wife and I have owned 3 Intrepids
(in Canada they are Chrysler Intrepids). Our first was a 1998 that we put 223,000 kms on, our second is a 2000 that we still have which has 165,000 kms and a 2002 that has 75,000 kms. As you can see we have put over 400,000 kms on these cars and have never had any major engine or transmission problems just normal maintenance items like brakes and tires. The cars are highway driven and have performed well under all conditions. These cars sit outside in winter when temperatures dip to -35 C and have never failed to start. They have also performed flawlessly in summer temperatures up to + 35 C. The 2.7 engine is one of the most impressive features of the car, 37 mpg and 200 hp from 165 cu. in. All three cars were low mileage lease buy backs at time of purchase (which saves a lot of money) and have given excellent value for our money, which is why we have bought three of them.
