Buy a Dodge best money you'll spend.

There is nothing wrong with my car it runs real good and I wouldn't give it up for nothing. That cars gets me where I need to go and it's a good family car. It was worth every penny we pay for I want to get another one like it. I would tell everyone I know to get a Dodge it worth the money.

My 2000 Dodge intrepid is fun to drive.

I love my car. I bought it used to replace the same make and model I had before the accident. It is comfortable and easy to drive. I do not have many problems with it.

Brian M

It is a great car for how long it has been in service

I have had it since new. It has almost 200,000 miles on it and still getting around 25 miles per gallon. It need new tie rods and brakes every few years, but it has been a great car.

Fiona L

Reliable, spacious, sleek-looking car.

It has never broken down on me, had a few small easy to fix problems in the 2 years that I have owned it. It is very spacious and comfortable, lots of trunk space. A bit wide and a little difficult to park but you get used to it, I have never hit anyone's car.

Dodge intrepid only takes 40 dollars to fill the tank.

My vehicle is very reliable I believe. The seats are very soft and are electric so they can be moved for the most comfort. It is a 6 cylinder and picks up speed with no problem. When going over bumps the vehicle seems to take impact well. Lastly, it only costs 40 dollars to fill the tank.

Dodge makes a great car; holds up well.

The Dodge has great air conditioning, back power windows do not work. Seats are very comfortable. Car gets good gas mileage. Horn, cruise control (all on the steering column) has not worked in some time and to fix is too costly since I am not on the road a lot at my age now.

Darlene L

I've had this car for 17 years and have spent very little on repairs

It is comfortable to ride in it. Gives a very smooth ride. The headlights go on when the ignition turns on. The air conditioning cools the car faster than any other car I've had. The only negative is a poorly designed trunk

Roomy, reliable silver 4-door.

A/c, digital am/FM radio w/CD player. 4 doors, automatic locks, power windows. Power lock on driver's side wears out quickly, and automatic trunk does not work. I had to replace timing belt/water pump shortly after purchase at approx. 150, 000 miles.

Michael W

The paint job will oxidize and peel. It will need a paint job if you want it to look good

I like my Intrepid because it's pretty fast. It rides low to the ground making it corner very well. I don't like my Intrepid because the paint job sucks

Candy M

Project car or good for first vehicle. Will get you where u need to go.

The reliability for the vehicle I have is not very high. The oil light comes on after the car starts idling. . This is a common issue for this car. . It can be just the sensors. .

Sarah O

It is a sedan with all the premium features. It does have temperature control.

Performance is decent, it is very reliable, has all upgraded features(for what year it was manufactured in), very reliable, haven't had any problems with the vehicle. Features are electric seats, power windows premium sound system. Maintenance is very minimal.

Angela F

Dependable most of the time.

To large of a body. You fix one thing then something else breaks on it. Its an older model and would like to upgrade to a newer model vehicle.

Titania R

Features of a Dodge intrepid.

I love the ride. The gas mileage is amazing. No CD player. Love the power windows and locks. Huge truck space.

2000 Dodge intrepid review. Features, comfort, reliability.

The comfort on a scale of 1-5 is a 5. There is plenty of space for both the driver and the passengers as well as a large sunroof. The gas mileage is not very good but it is manageable. It is a 2000 make so it does have some problems with the battery especially in the winter. But, it does drive surprisingly well in the snow.

How Reliable Is The 2000 Dodge Intrepid?

Yes it has not had any major problems over the past almost twenty years that I have owned it, this may be because I make sure to keep it clean and schedule maintenance on a timely manner.

Nicole W.

It is reliable, it does not have many problems other than that the battery is underneath the engine, so it is hard to get to.

Beverley M.

Is The 2000 Dodge Intrepid A Good Value?

It cost me about 20,000 but I am not sure how the prices have fluctuated since. I think it is a good value but it is up to the person who is buying the car whether they like it or not.
