Overview & Reviews

Changes to this family sedan for the 2001 model year include optional side airbags, a shoulder belt for the central rear passenger, an internal trunk release, three new interior colors, two additional exterior colors, and an additional power outlet in the center console if you get a model with bucket seats. For those cars equipped with the Infinity sound system, you'll receive steering wheel-mounted controls and a four-disc in-dash CD player. SE is now the base Intrepid designation (previously is was the mid-level model) and it includes higher grade fabric this year. All engine choices meet LEV standards and all models receive thicker side glass and upgraded windshield moldings for a quieter ride.

• Huge interior, gigantic trunk, composed ride, attractive looks.

• Cheap interior materials, lots of engine and road noise, large size makes parking a chore.

  Love my Intrepid! - 2001 Dodge Intrepid
  By azjoyce - June 29 - 4:56 pm

  The only problem I have had was the cooling fans being replaced at 60,000 miles. I had a 96 and loved it, bought my 2001 with 12,000 miles on it and have had no problems at all. I love the air conditioner - the best- especially in Arizona! I think the gas mileage is horrible! Window has always squeaked - map lights go on and off by themselves while driving. Of course it wont do it for the service dept.

  Good Choice - 2001 Dodge Intrepid
  By Craig Bannecke - May 3 - 5:21 pm

  Purchased this ES Intrepid as a lease turn in with 30.K miles. It now has 70.0K miles and has been a good reliable vehicle. Gas mileage around town is average but on the road it gets 27 mph. Wife drives the car daily and we take it on most of our road trips. Very enjoyable vehicle

  So far lovin it. - 2001 Dodge Intrepid
  By yng_byr - March 9 - 3:32 am

  Got this vehicle with lots of highway miles, which made me worry about the engine but so far I have gotten great mpg... It handles very well... Great power for such a large vehicle with a 2.7L V6. Only goes 115 mph tho, and cruise doesnt work when driving faster than 86 mph. Havent had any engine trouble. Big back seats and large trunk.

  Stay Away - 2001 Dodge Intrepid
  By jmadel - July 19 - 2:00 am

  The engine had a tapping noise, couldnt repair it, Had to have the engine rebuilt by a third party company. Dodge will not acknowledge the poor design of the engine. I had a 94 Intrepid it was a much better car, better suspension, better everything, except transmission, my 94 tranny went at 69,000, and again at 117,000, so far the 2001 has 99,000 and tranny is still good, but starting to slip. If they put a 3.3L(like the 94) or even a 3.0L engine in it I would buy another. But I will never buy a car with a 2.7L Engine.

  Be Aware of 2.7 engine - 2001 Dodge Intrepid
  By TamiinIndiana - June 26 - 2:00 am

  Dont buy this car! Theres a defect in the 2.7 engine and Dodge wont acknowledge. After 62,000 miles my timing chain needs replaced, but I cant find a mechanic in my area that will do it. They will only replace the engine and it would cost me overe $6,000 and a 6-8 week wait to find a motor because of the high demand. I had been very pleased with my car up to this point. But now Im without a vehicle and still owe $8,000 on it.

  now Im nervous - 2001 Dodge Intrepid
  By AZ_buyer - April 8 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car because it got amazing reviews. I guess I didnt check well enough, because now that I look harder I see stories everywhere about how the 2.7 liter engine fails without any warning. Mine has been running fine, but Im really nervous. Im going to have to tell my wife to tell me about any clicking sounds.

  not stock - 2001 Dodge Intrepid
  By dkrhardy - February 18 - 2:00 am

  Great car, very good performance. Ive added oversize TB, exhaust, intake, and it will walk away from 300M specials. Now it has GREAT power and still good MPG. Time to move on to more luxury though.

  Just above Average - 2001 Dodge Intrepid
  By dongo - January 31 - 2:00 am

  Haing driven my 2001 Intrepid extensively now, I must say that is is a car that I intend to keep for quite some time. Maintenance & repairs were a concern with the much maligned 2.7 and its associated "troublesome" transmission, but so far it seems to be practically nonexistant for me. Big car, plenty of room on the interior, decent pickup with the kind of gas mileage I get (mid 20s), I think Ill keep it for awhile. :)

  Middle of the Road - 2001 Dodge Intrepid
  By supaguy80 - December 19 - 2:00 am

  The Intrepid I own is a pretty fun car to drive. Have no major issues with it. I would reccomend it to someone who is looking for a good commuter car, but not if youre looking for something sporty.
