1994 Dodge Intrepid 4dr Sedan

Review

Don't even consider it, dodge has long history of unreliable cars and trucks, this one's no exception, I bought mine used with 30k miles before 60k miles problems with, ac, trans, engine, paint, headliner ect...headlight mounts broke, too much plastic used on everything, had some friends at dodge dealer, they hated this car, from sales to the mechanics, I got rid of this car after 1 year of ownership a long tome ago, stay away from this one and any other dodge/chrysler/plymouth unless it's from the 1960's

I bought my 1994 base in 1998 with 87,000 km on it. The car now has 485,000 km. The a/c still works and so does pretty much everything else. There is a short in the rear defogger. I had a tranny problem in 2002 and had it rebuilt for $2,500. Still works great. Only thing I don't like is the lack of head room and I'm only 6 feet and not the best mileage. Looking for a small 4 cyl but intend to keep the Intrepid. Oh, never had to change the exhaust system and I never get stuck in the snow and I only use all-season tires. Rear springs done about 2 years ago.

Best Features

Blasts through snow, fun to drive, great on highway. Easy to work on. Cheap parts at wreckers. Roomy interior, cave size trunk, good towing capacity. 3.3 L engine has timing chain, not a belt, so doesn't need to be changed.

Worst Features

Need more headroom, better gas mileage if they had a 5 or 6 speed with O/D. Headlights break if you look at them the wrong way. Never understood why the Intrepid is a Dodge in the States and a Chrysler in Canada.

Review

Started having quite a few problems with it after about 100k miles - A/C would only work at certain times (never could figure it out), as well as quite a few other things.
Poor paint job - it was actually tan, but would show up sort of purple at night.
Kind of neat, but it started flaking off.
Had cooling problems with it as well.

Best Features

They should have kept and refined this version of this car forever. Fabulous amounts of room in the front and back seat as well. Had pretty good pickup, but we actually got 32 mpg out of this thing on the road one time - it always got at least 30 on the road. Obviously - it cut through the air REALLY well.

Worst Features

Reliability. Of course, the Chrysler folks are sort of known for not doing too well with that. 'Tis a shame - they could have turned this into one of the best cars ever...

Review

Bought this in July, 08 with 80K miles because it was seemed to be a good value. The climate control unit had some glitches I soon discovered and soon stopped working. Had a couple mechanics do some diagnosis and we've not come up with answers except it's not the control head, min. $200 for a good diagnosis and at least another $150 to fix. I was doing a lot of mountain driving at the time, so when my water pump failed it quickly overheated and developed a head gasket leak, est. repair cost is $500 - $1500. Starter is failing now too, so it's time for my clean, good looking 95K mile Intrepid to be turned in because the cost to repair it all is higher than the value of the car.

Best Features

Comfortable ride. Roomy. Handles well.

My dad said don't buy it. 2 months later my transmission broke. 10 days later my engine stopped working and my reverse never stopped. Every 10 days it was with my mechanic.
