Ranking	Details
#1	Great Family Vehicle/Sporty Sedan Source: Edmunds ...Vehcle is very fun to drive - ES has a lot of power. Great gas mileage for size of vehicle. Lots of head room in front & back seats for your 6ft+ passengers. Trunk space can fit 2 adult mountain bikes, stroller and lots of camping gear w/o putting the back seats down. Comfortable for long road trips (Es has auto seats that recline almost flat)...
#2	Great Deal! Source: Cars.com ..."Looks great and drives great. It would be a good first car or a run around car. Looks sporty and look fairly new. New transmission, runs like new."...
#3	Can't Complain Source: Edmunds ...I drove my Intrepid 165k miles before having to get rid of it (had 32k at purchase). With only routine maintenance a few medium repairs (Alternator and major brake work) coming in the last 50k miles. Good performance (especially highway), better than average interior, decent mileage for a car of its size and performance specs, and tons of trunk space. If you can find a 1998 and later model with decent mileage, buy it...
#4	A few too many niggles for me Source: Edmunds ...I have to say that my 98 white intrepid es is a beaut. It's too bad though that I've had to take it to the dealership for repairs one too many times. Brakes are the most troublesome and I've noticed that the poor plastic quality inside the car is coming off. Another fault though not from the car is the dealership serivce. It stinks! I've tried three or four closest to my neighbourhood and they are all terrible. Times like this I wish I bought a lexus. Would I buy this car again? Maybe not, I think that for the money I'd rather buy a used audi a8...
#5	Decent.... Not reliable Source: Edmunds ...I had this car for 2 years. First let me say, while the car was running, I loved this car, but For the first 6 months the car seemed to be doing great, then after that, problem upon problem upon problem. I bought this car for $3000 and put probably another $3000-5000 in it for problems. In the end the head gasket went and I was done with this car, got a 2000 Mustang, love it! This car looks great, very comfortable, when it ran, it ran great, nice power, on the 3.2 engine at least. I love the looks of the car and the size, I love big cars, but I just had way too many...
#6	Just keeps on going........ Source: Cars.com ..."Bought used in 2000 with 40KM. Now has 315KM on the original transmission and engine. Repairs have all been of normal wear and tear. It was our family car for 5 years and my daughter has been driving it since then. Huge comfortable interior and the biggest trunk I have seen. We have the ES version which has all the bells and whistles and the 3.2 engine. Iwould recommend this engine as I have heard of some problems with the smaller engine."...
#7	My 98 Intrepid Source: Edmunds ...I purchased this 1998 Intrepid used from a Buick Dealership. This being my first Chrysler purchase, I was astonished at this vechicle. The car has NASCAR looks about her and handles excellent. Having owned several Corvettes and numerous muscle cars in my past, I still can't get over the value Chrysler has packaged into this low priced domestic automobile. In the future, Chrysler will be my first consideration when purchasing my next vechicle. I love my Intrepid!...
#8	Reliable as Anything Out There Source: Edmunds ...This is my second Intrepid. I was going to buy new, but did a search for a Candy-apple Red ES with Climate Control, the Infinity sound system, Trip Computer and a tan leather interior. Found one with only 16k miles, paid what they asked for it and it's been a real pleasure to own. Any car will go 100k miles these days with oil changes and new plugs every so often, and you get more car than a Honda...
#9	Great car Source: Edmunds ...absolutely no trouble whatsoever I change oil with quality oil and filter (not one of these oil change jack leg places) no problems put fresh brakes on it about 10k ago seem to be doing good. thats it...
#10	excellent vehicle Source: Edmunds ...i bought this car brand new in early 1998. it has performed above my expectations. it is solidly built, comfortable, and reliable and has had no repairs to any of its major components. all i ever do is change the oil and filter every 3,000 mi and do all other normal maintenance as needed (tires, fluids, etc)...
