2000 Dodge Intrepid ES 3.2 from North America
Summary:
Awesome
General Comments:
This is a low maintenance vehicle.
Other than regular maintenance that has to be performed on all vehicles, it hasn't had anything malfunction.
It handles better than any D segment car out there to date, and is still very comfortable on harsh roads, when little Civics and Corollas would rattle your brain out.
Very good performer for the year, especially considering the price, size, and the fact it has no performance badge on it anywhere.
One of the best multipurpose family friendly cars out there, that can be purchased used for little expense.
For anyone out there bragging about your imports, my vehicle has had 220000 trouble free miles.
If any of the people nay saying this vehicle, had a brain in their head, they'd research a car's reliability before you bought it. 2.7 Chrysler motors were horrible engines. 3.5 and 3.2 liter models are absolutely bulletproof.
And don't forget, Japanese car owners, you are making this country poorer every day. You drive an "affordable" car because foreign automakers don't have to conform to union standards, and pay the guy bolting the lugs on your Toyota over 20 dollars an hour, like the big three automakers in America. That's right, even for the factories Toyota owns in the U.S., they don't have to comply with U.S. (liberal) regulations.
It's OK though, Al Gore is giving you an imaginary pat on the back to make you all warm and tingling inside for helping another country prosper, while yours is going down the drain. Good job.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

We are making our own country poorer every day, and it is not by purchasing a Japanese car. Toyota, Honda, BMW, etc are assembled on our soil, and are employing American people. Chrysler and GM have assembly plants in Canada and Mexico. I was working on my buddy's 2006 Chevy Equinox, and noticed that the engine block had "made in China" stamped on it, and the transmission was made in Japan (Aisan Warner Type). Buying an "American" name does not always mean you are getting something made over here.
