This Year's Model Updates:

A few functional upgrades take place. The 3.2-liter V6 is dropped as the 3.5-liter engine becomes an option on the ES model, a new SXT model debuts, sporting the R/T's higher-output engine, and the antilock brakes now have Electronic Brakeforce Distribution.

Pros:
  • Plenty of passenger/luggage capacity, agile handling, powerful engines.
Cons:
  • Dated ergonomics, blind spots when backing up, engine noise when pressed.

  • Sport Cruiser - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
    By -

    Ive owned this car a year now and Ive grown to like it more and more. Great comfortable seats, enormous amounts of space front, back, trunk. Handles like a sport sedan if you push it. Still very tight at 87K. Good power I recommend the 3.5L. Ive found it to be great in the snow also. I read the car was top 20 in reliabililty somewhere. That made me feel pretty good. I like the dashboard and white instrument panel. Had a 93 Intrepid and a 96 LHS. This 2nd generation Intrepid has been refined. Much tighter than the LHS at the same miles.

    Single mother of small child. Plenty of room for all the toys in back everywhere. Easy to keep clean and detailed. Great on gas and wonderful for long trips. Smooth ride.

  • Best car ever! - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
    By -

    This has been the best car Ive ever had. One minor glitch in Feburary 05 with a leaking water outlet housing. Other than that, I am highly satisfied with this car and would recommend it to families that need a car with a lot of room. I average 23 MPG overall and it has enough power to get me down the road. As long as maintenance is kept up and as a suggestion to all, use synthetic motor oil, this car will last your over 200,000 miles. Awesome car!

  • WOW! Biggest Sports Car on the Road! - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
    By -

    People seem to be complaining about gas mileage? Come on people, get REAL! Per SQ. Ft., this is no doubt the most economical SPORT/Family-"FunToDrive" car on the road!! At 234HP, this vehicle with a 3.5L Outperforms ANY car in its class/year and price range. More importantly, it does it with style, agility and room to spare! If you want 2-4 MPG more, go for half the room, no pep, flat, boring Honda and pay thousands more! Buy this however, and you can put a couple of those thousands in the gas tank and be very pleanantly surprised and happy with all the room and style you got, not even to mention the truely spirted drive youll experience!

    Bought mine new, use it on the highway in northern Canada. Great in ice and snow. Great family car, fits kids nice. Lots of passing power at highway speed. I am 65 and I find it to be a comfortable ride. It is a little bit of work to get in and out of though.

    I wanted a decent-sized 4 door, and the Intrepid is more than I expected. The engine is just the right power, the handling is superb, seats very comfortable, styling is pleasing, good brakes and its very roomy in front and trunk. Visibility is ok - driver side blind spot needs some attention, and front of car is invisible. Otherwise excellent.

    This car drives like a BMW. Quiet, fast, corners great, great mileage, faster, tons of room, and the Audi/ BMW crowd are not even aware of what just passed them. Love the car and the price you can get these used.

  • Great Car! - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
    By -

    I have had my Intrepid for over a year now and purchased at 39,000. I have had only one problem, the check engine light goes on and off but when checked shows no problems. Other than that, the performance of this car is great. I have 2 kids and they are very comfortable in the roomy back seats. The truck is HUGE and enough room to put lots of toys, car supplies and groceries in all at the same time. I have even hooked up a TV/DVD player and new CD player and had no problems. Just keep up the engine maintanence on the car and you are good to go.

  • Value is in the Driving - 2002 Dodge Intrepid

    Ive had my SXT for almost 2 years now and Ive had no problems with it. I was rear-ended 8 months after buying it and the shop did an excellent job of restoring it to near new shape. Even with this accident, Ive had no mechanical problems. Great car for long distance traveling or the QUICK jaunts to the corner store. Ive been a MOPAR fan since I was a teenager and the styling of this car fits in with some of the classics such as the 68-70 Charger. Looking forward to this car being the first one Ive owned to far exceed 100K before even considering a replacement.
