DODGE/INTREPID
| | Model of the car: | DODGE/INTREPID | | | General comments: | We went with the Dodge mainly for styling.We own a repair facility and found after talking with customers, that they were happy with their cars.We only saw them for regular maintainance.Previous experiences with pre '96 chrysler cars were horrible, so I signed with great trepidation.I'm glad to say that after 3 years and 33000 miles I've been incredibly pleased.No problems,no kinks,no breakdowns,no nonsense.There was one recall for seatbelt bolts and rather than waste time at the dealer, I took care of it myself.What a great car.Handles excellent for a large car, super comfortable seats,climate control is awesome and has plenty of power with the 3.2 v-6.I have two trivial complaints with the car though, one is that it wasn't offered with auto headlights(I ordered it with every available option),and second is that the rubber sweeps that are supposed to wipe the door glass when you lower it ,don't even touch the glass on any of the doors.It makes it difficult to see out the sides on a misty day.Other than that this has been a great car.I would have liked to see some more sport appearance options also,like ground effects and more aggressive looking trim. Now that we've had a third child,its time for the Intrepid to make way for a minivan. I want the Dodge but the resale value has me looking at the spartan Odyssey which has an unbelievably high resale(about 71% after 3 years compared to 51% for the dodge.Makes a big difference if you have to buy a new car in three years like I'm forced to right now.) | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | no auto headlights available.side window sweeps don't work.weak resale value | | | Previous car: | none |
