2001 Dodge Intrepid Reviews
| “Great All Round Sedan” Reviewing:
2001 Used Dodge Intrepid R/T
A great, versatile all round sedan. Decently built, decent performance. not much torque on the low end, but great passing and highway power available on demand from the 3.5 magnum V6. Using the available AutoStick semi-automatic Transmission is fun. Maneuverability is fantastic, the car corners amazingly due to its cab-forward architecture. The EVIC over head computer competently evaluates the trip and vehicle performance while reminding you of required service intervals. The interior cabin is simple yet refined and very spacious. Low points include long-term transmission durability.. that's about it, in my opinion.
Pros —
Looks, highway, maneuvering
Cons —
transmission (long-term), rear-door-entry for tall persons.

Don't buy one that has a 2.7 engine. But if it has a 3.5 then you are ok

| “Not A Bad Machine” The acceleration is not all that sensitive, but in Houston area who has room to go that fast anyway? It has had a few technical issues in the past (transmission, brakes, AC, Oil leak, etc.) but it's pretty reliable regardless. I just had a new radio installed which has all the bells and whistles (Aux. port for ipod, HD radio, blue-neon-backlit buttons, concealed CD player) so that really enhances the experience. The interior is incredibly comfortable, the absence of leather always helps. Brakes are... well... brakes, what can I say, they work so who cares? All in all, I could do a LOT worse for a first car...a LOT worse!
Pros —
Nice interior, good radio, reliable.
Cons —
Less than perfect track record, not so sensitive accelerator, needs some paint detailing on the front (my dad, not me).

| “First Brand New Car Ever.” Reviewing:
2001 Used Dodge Intrepid SE
After a Mini-van I was ready for a car. Great power and could turn on dime even for having a long body. Loved the car until it was flooded in Italy; never ran right after that.
Pros —
The V6 had great power. Lots of leg room. HUGE trunk!
Cons —
Not enough cup holders...I know that sounds silly but when you have three kids, not so silly.

| “It Is A Great Every Day Car For Driving To And From Work.” Reviewing:
2001 Used Dodge Intrepid ES
This car has slightly better than average interior as far as general apperance, and it functions well. The interior is well layed out and I have no complaints about it. This car does have Chryslers manual shift option which is oviously nothing compared to an actual manual shift but, as far as this new option on automatics these days this one is one of the best that I have driven compared to other makes. I have had no problems with this car mechanically so far and it has about 185,000kms. Handling and performence wise, this car has enough power for the average daily use and it handles well. I personally think that this is a pretty decent looking car, it is somewhat sporty looking and has nice 16inch rims. If someone is looking for a good, quick everyday car for just going between home and work, I think this car would be worth looking at.
Pros —
comfortable seat and ride, decent power, excellent highway fuel economy, reliable as long as it is maintained properly, not bad manual shift option
Cons —
not very good fuel economy in the city

I bought my car new and it has run quite well since 2001 with very few repairs needed, other than routine maintence. My car has a lot of miles too, 115,000 plus and still looks sharp!
Pros —
Reliable, sporty, smooth ride
Cons —
Problem with factory installed radio w/ a 4 disc changer, 2 of them fried on me!

| “Nice Car, Not Very Durable Though.” Reviewing:
2001 Used Dodge Intrepid SE
I love the space available in this car, especially the trunk, I have the front bench so it seats fairly comfortably when needed. Handles well although it feels like you really have to get into the gas peday to get much excelleration. The biggest downside so far at 68,000 miles is the quality of the trim: doorhandles loose, interior trim peeling off around doors, mirror switch repaired twice at dealer etc... |
