Overview & Reviews

ES carries over, but the base model gets several improvements to remain competitive with the new Ford Taurus. ES styling cues and 16-inch wheels come standard on the base Intrepid. New colors and seat fabrics update this full-size sedan, and all Intrepids get noise, vibration and harshness improvements.

  110k and going strong - 1996 Dodge Intrepid
  By sm598 - February 27 - 8:44 pm

  I bought this car used at 68k 5 years ago. I love it, it is great in the snow and ice. Ive read about a lot of problems, but weve been very satisfied. The timing belt did break within 100 miles of purchase, but the dealer fixed it Id recommend replacing water pump at same time due to labor costs. Ive kept up general maintenance and had no issues. Trunk space is great as is the strong engine. I have the "autostick" trannie and it is wonderful in the snow and ice. At 109k the trim did start to come loose, but not bad. Hauls 2 kids and all their stuff wonderfully. We drove it cross- country and it did great, got 29 mpg and had room for all our stuff!

  Reliable, but quirky problems - 1996 Dodge Intrepid
  By makattack - July 9 - 2:00 am

  Well I will have to admit the vehicle has 150k on it and runs like a champ, did have to have the trannie rebuilt and quite a bit of front end work done on her. Either way i have to admit she has never left me stranded on the road, except for maybe a tire going flat. The only key with Dodge is you gotta follow the recommended maintenence. Although the suspension isnt as smooth as i would like.

  I love my Intrepid - 1996 Dodge Intrepid
  By Joe Dow - September 19 - 2:00 am

  I have had my "96"Intrepid for 7 years, and it has started for me every time I went out to start it. A while back we went on a trip and we averaged 29 miles to the gallon. This is why I am ordering a new one this year. I heard this was going to be the last year for the Intrepid, and I want a new one.

  some problems - 1996 Dodge Intrepid
  By Dan69St - October 28 - 2:00 am

  well I have put about 13,000 miles on it since April when I bought it and I have been having some problems. I Put in a new wheel bearing, now I have an overheating problem and I am not sure what all it is. I changed the thermostat, the water pump and still no relief of the temp. Flushed the radiator and everything. There is no sign of a blown Head gasket or a cracked block. But besides that the car was running great no other complaints besides.

  Excellent all-around vehicle - 1996 Dodge Intrepid
  By jbrooks - October 1 - 2:00 am

  This car was fun to drive, looked sharp, was very dependable, and had most of the creature comforts and extras. It was roomy and could haul my entire drum set, and it could provide ample leg room and comfort for passengers in both front and back. It was also a good value as used car - you get a lot of bang for your buck when buying one of these. I got the car with just under 70,000 miles on it. Repairs were minimal up until the car started getting over 100,000 miles on it. When I sold it, it had 120,000 miles on it and was still running like the day when I bought it.
