Overview & Reviews
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.
- Plenty of passenger/luggage capacity, agile handling, powerful engines.
- Dated ergonomics, blind spots when backing up, engine noise when pressed.

Better then Ford ever thought of being!! - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
By CML - October 7 - 2:00 amI have put a little over 20,000 miles on my Interpid since I puchased it in July 2002. I have not had any mechanical problems at all. Last winter I lost control in a near blizzard and I bounced off a snow bank three times, and the only thing that got damaged, was the bumpers.

Roomy AND Sporty - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
By koz - September 5 - 2:00 amGot w/17K. GREAT used price. Needed room to fit my 2 teens in the backseat. Researched and narrowed down to Intrepids and LeSabres. After driving and pricing both, the decision was easy: it sold itself: an 02 for the price of an 00/01 LeSabre, and way less miles. Love the styling! Sleek/Sporty for a "family" sedan. The power moonroof and rear deck spoiler complete the "look" (Im not much for spoilers - usually cheesey looking - this ones very complementary). Just took 2500 mile trip w/kids. TONS of trunk room, comfy, great power passing those semis, decent mpg(29 w/o AC, 25 with)- 3.5L V6. Have never been so enamoured with a car.

Solid, Often Overlooked Car - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
By strangelove - June 25 - 2:00 amWhen I began looking for a new (used) car, I didnt even think about Dodge or Chrysler vehicles. My focus was mainly on Accords, Camrys and other Japanese makes. But I promised myself I would leave no stone unturned, so at the very last minute I turned my attention to a silver Intrepid ES at a local Dodge dealership. Im glad I did. It proved to be the absolute best mix of the things I was looking for: great styling, strong performance, tons of room, tight suspension, extremely affordable price (used w/ 25k miles) and low insurance costs. Id recommend these cars to anyone with a clean conscience.

wonderful car - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
By sterlingo - April 30 - 2:00 amI bought the car as an interum verhicle. I really enjoy the car. I have rented them in the past. In fact I rented the car for a coast drive in CA and really enjoyed it. Im 62" and fit in this car perfectly. The ride is great, very nice seats, cold ac and great backseat for traveling. My only concern is the resale value. I think this car declines in value quickly, but is very cheap used to begin with, so as long as you expect this, I think its a great value and car.

I love it!!! - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
By smitty - April 16 - 2:00 amI relly enjoyed my Intrepid. It handled well and had a lot of interior space. Had lots of problems with the windows not working. I had to get the motors changed on all 4 doors and a couple of them twice. Other than that really no problems. It rides smooth and handles well. My Intrepid was totaled in a wreck (by a Camry). My wife was well protected when this car ran the light and hit her just in front of the drivers side front tire. It passed a great crash test.

Great car to drive - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
By robb_1 - February 27 - 2:00 amI bought this car new and now have 25k miles and no problems. The car rides great and very comfortable on long trips. A great engine(3.5L) for a mid size car. I plan on keeping this car for a long time. I think I have to buy one for my wife, she loves to drive it!

Great Family Car - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
By 4boltmain - February 23 - 2:00 amThis has been an excellent vehicle for my family of 4. I average 24 mi/gal, and find the 200hp 2.7L 6cyl has plenty of pep. Ive had it on 2 long road trips, and cant say enough good things about that endless cavern of a trunk, which swallows all our luggage and kid debris with the greatest of ease. The stereo sounds great, the looks are great, and the interior is laid out well. I highly recommend the Intrepid.

Great Car/Poor Resale Value - 2002 Dodge Intrepid
By Mikes_1 - February 8 - 2:00 amGreat car to drive. Ive had no problems at all, however I was shocked when I checked its retail value one year after purchase. These cars drop in value like a rock. If their insurance policy pays retail value on accidental replacement, a buyer of a new Intrepid would need some type of gap insurance.
