Dodge Intrepid
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Intrepid | | | General comments: | Dodge 2001 Motorsports Edition Intrepid, 2.7 v-6 automatic transmission. The 3.5 v-6 would have been better for preformance since it is a special edition car. The 2.7 gives good fuel economy, had a vibration problem in the engine when first purchased during cold start ups, but started using Mobil-1 and the problem hasn't returned! Taken back to dealer once during early stages of purchase, water leak in front passengers floor area, front cowl leak, rubber seal shy from factory. Left front sub speaker replaced, rattled very bad! Since then no problems! Paint is flash red and excellent, best I have seen on a production paint job. Fit and finish also pleased me since these details are an important factor in purchasing any car. Motorsport 17" wheels and Goodyear raised yellow letter tires make this car hug the road. Very little over steer at high speeds in sharp curves, not a corvette but real close! The car cruises at highway speeds, and road feel is available, not a town car ride! The Intrepid has style, preformance and good fuel mileage and isn't a sub compact that one needs a can opener to enter and exit vehicle! | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Engine....need 3.5 v-6 for sure! Interior color selection....dark gray, ugh! Taken a little time to become use to the no bumper front and rear feeling. Parking at first was a pain! But this is the price you pay for style! | | | Previous car: | Mercury Sable |
