The car is a 1997 Dodge Intrepid, greenish color. Not so bad to look at, terrible to drive.  Someone that had it before me ran it without changing the oil. Therefore, the car was pretty much junk.  The performance of the car really wasnt much to talk about either.  The car had no brakes and had a horrible shake. Gas mileage wasnt too bad, but the gas guage was off.

Pros — I really cannot think of any.
Cons — Everything I listed was negative.

Really great car. Good engine, V6, plenty of room inside. Also has surprisingly good trunk space. Lasts a good while, ran for over 150,000 miles. But has had continuius problems. I don't know if all of them do that or not. But still good, fun to drive, good speed. If you find one for good price and has no problems and good mileage, definate buy. Nice style both outside an in. Plenty of room for front, could be cramped in back. 20/mpg, Decent, but the v6 will eat up the gas a bit.

Pros — Engine, V6, Interior/Exterior, good umph.
Cons — Needed multiple repairs. 20/mpg.

129,000 miles and climbing fast, already put 29,000 on it in a year and a half.
Has aged pretty rough since I bought it, but I wouldn't trade it for anything

Pros — Decent gas mileage (22)
Cons — Goes through front end parts quickly

I have had many cars and trucks over the years and this intrepid has been the most reliable, best handling, fewest repairs needed of any vehicle I have ever owned. I would buy one again without hesitation. It handles well, is fuel efficient for the size motor, gives me power when needed.
