A love-hate relationship
I have the 3.5 liter with the larger wheels. Almos the ES, without the nameplate. Plenty of power, and not bad to drive. BUT...I had to REPLACE the tranny at 80,000 miles, my paint is peeling (the dreaded de-lamination problem), and the AC compressor is dead. I'm afraid to shell out for a compressor, for fear that something else will die. This car is a potential money pit. When it works, it's great. But the problems have turned this Mopar fan into a Mopar hater.
Good car
It has a very strong 3.5 liter, 24 valve engine. Problems we have encountered are the water pump goes out at 70,000 miles, according to the mechanic who says he fixes about 4 a week. If you are lucky, the pulley seizing on the pump will shred the timing belt and kill the engine immediately, otherwise, the engine will overheat and warp the heads, increasing the cost from $700 to $2800. Some sort of bolt on the steering mechanism has stripped a couple of times, needing the front end to be dropped down to replace, which has been spendy.
buy a honda!
looks good - reliability is low
Still Runnung strong
Got this car in 2000 used with 70,000 miles on it have done regular maintenance oil change lube job etc, in 2003 serpentine belt broke, 2005 transmission replaced 2009 water pump gone replaced, after all that the car is very good strong ride comfortable and now going into 150000 miles the car is still pulling strong.
Poor integrity, unreliable, fun to drive
Fun to drive, nice to look at, comfortable w/plenty of interior room. Unreliable transmission, A/C, heating and electrical. Lots of "little things" failing -- passenger side power window won't go up from driver side control, trunk lid doesn't stay up, radio stopped working, traction control starts in park, stalls after long trips. Lots of $$ spent on maintenance and repair. Drove a Honda for 250,000 miles and never saw the kind of problems I have with the Intrepid at 70,000.
