Roomy is the word of the day for the 1994 Dodge Intrepid, a four-door sedan that can fit six adult passengers, thanks to its cab-forward design. With a sloping windshield extended further over the front of the car and wheels moved closer to corners, the interior cabin is elongated to provide ample legroom in the back seat even when the front seats are moved back. Big doors make entry and exit easy and bump-free. More room also means more visibility.

The design also gives the Intrepid a sporty, stylish look both inside and out, with wraparound taillights and a cockpit-style dashboard that's easy to read and use. In 1994, Dodge made few changes to the Intrepid. The standard 3.3-liter V6 engine in both base and ES models got a horsepower boost to 161, to help combat sluggishness on hills. The 3.5-liter, 214-hp V6 is fast and furious. Variable assist power steering was added (to ES models) to help in parallel parking. A touring suspension, previously only offered on the ES, became standard on both models.

While the huge interior would please even Larry Bird, and the great pickup, speedy acceleration and easy handling of the 1994 Intrepid make this car fun to drive, there are a lot of complaints about things going wrong. Air conditioning failure, coolant leaks, transmission breakage, and tie rod problems are just a few of the long list of repairs drivers mention.
