"I have the 2002 3.5L and it is fast enough for fun, but slow enough to stay safe. It is an extremely comfortable car to drive."

"Most of the Intrepid's that had the 2.7L and 3.2L engine went to rental car fleets, that's why that Engine/Transmission has so many problems, If you can find one, get the Intrepid with the 3.5L engine in the SXT or the R/T Models."

"Bought this car as my first car from my grandmother and I think it'll run for at least 10 more years (currently at 82k miles). It's the 3.5L engine, which are known to run perfectly, as opposed to the 2.7L."

"I own a 2002 3.5L V6 Dodge Intrepid ES. Purchased new . It has been very reliable. Great style, sporty, fun to drive. Handles the road great in both dry and wet/snow pavement. Takes the bumps - though you can feel them. Have had NO problems with it. Gas mileage was just as they said it would be 18 city, 26 hwy. -which is good considering the size. Huge trunk - can fit my bike in it. IF THEY STILL MADE IT I WOULD BUY A NEW ONE!!"

"The 2002 Dodge Intrepid was the first car I ever bought brand new. I was 40 years old. I wanted to support American Made Cars. As of last Tuesday, I'm out of a car. The engine blew. Starting in 2006, it was only four years old, I've had to have the steering replaced, the main oil seals, and the temperature maintenance device and not to mention that it wouldn't start from time to time. It has been one thing after another. It threw a lifter, with no fault of mine because I had the oil changed religously...so I had to "run it hard" for a few miles so it would stop knocking. Which I did, and it did keep it from knocking and embarrassing me at traffic lights and stop signs!!!!!! I just paid, again, to figure our why it wouldn't start,.....only to find out by the dodge mechanic that it was an electrical issue. I'm out of a car now and I would never, ever buy another Dodge. That is so sad for me to say, but as my mechanic said....buy GM, it's definently more reliable and cheaper to fix. I estimate over the past five years, I've spend over $3000 just to keep it running. That's so sad....."

"i bought my car used back in 04 i just now really started to have problems with it...i however would not recommend this car because when it does break down it cost more in labor to fix because everything is so hard to get at. However if your looking for comfort this would be a good car n it runs pretty good but when it starts to break it breaks qucik and fast and the problems just keep getting worse."
