2000 Dodge Intrepid consumer reviews

This is the best car I have ever owned. I have had it for 10 years and it now has 148,000 miles on it and it runs like it did the day I got it. It has a sports car appearance and feel, but is perfect for the family. I live in northern Wisconsin where there is a lot of snow and I have no problems in the winter, just have to make sure I have good tires. I have the 3.2 engine and am I glad I do. Great exceleration, and still get 25-30mpg. Before purchasing anything else, compare all the details and look at reviews: by owners and experts.

just as with our 1998 intrepid the tranny is starting to slip.smokes like a freight train.probably wont but another

Ordered new in 2000. Now over 250,000 miles. Using synthetic oil, regular maintenance. Important to have the 3.2 engine. Doesnt burn any oil between changes,,excellant autostick transmission, no problems and we tow a heavy boat. Only problem in 11 years has been the A/C. Replace the brake pads only every 2 years, never turned or replaced the rotors. Great trunk space, superb handling, learned to always slip the transmission into neutral when braking on icy roads.

While I really like the body design and the interior the 2.7 enginas are junk.Under powered and very high priced repairs.The water pump runs off the cam chain,when the pump goes bad the coolent drains into the oil pan.Time for a major rebuild or new engine

Can't give a long term review since we got the car with 10K miles and it was totaled at 44K when some idiot drove into us, deploying the airbags. But for those 34K miles the car provided terrific comfort, ride, handling, economy and reliability. Truly fun to drive with the 3.2 liter engine and Autostick. Comfortable, roomy interior, excellent factory radio, more than adequate power. I think the 1998 - 2004 Intrepids still look 'fresher' than the new cars on the road - very unique 'look' and image to them.

Good-Design, good interior and exterior, like the body and handling, first car,great handling,good features, just overall a good car.

I own an ES model and not had one problem with it other than oil changes, tires. This engine is the way to go if you are looking for an Intrepid. The front wheel drive and pick up has kept me out of all kinds of trouble. I wouldn't have any trouble selling my car to a friend as it has been a totally reliable car for me and super value for the money. Never had transmission problems.

this car runs and performs good untill you hit around 100,000 miles then everything jst seems to start messing up. from the engine knocking to the transmission hard shifting to the turn signals failing to work.

It's a shame because the car drives so nicely with really great pick-up. It doesn't look bad either. The problem is I feel like I've had NOTHING but problems with it since I bought it new in 2000. Brakes wear out too quickly, tires wear too quickly. Electrical problems, little thingy on the hood fell off, transmission trouble, engine knocking, and right now it's sitting in front of my house with 114K miles on it, dead as a doornail.

This car has given me little trouble. I'm proud to own it and it has been one of my best purchases. It drives very well and rarely has any problems.
