Faults:
I've only had minor problems with the car so far. Being an informed consumer, I bought an extended warranty for this car since I've read that the Intrigue has some reliability issues.
The Engine Light was on for awhile and turned out to be a blown fuse. The gas lid button also didn't work, but I got that fixed.
Also, the sunroof managed to break, also. But, I don't have to pay any direct costs because of the warranty.
Unlike some others, I so far haven't noticed any problems with the headlights flickering, though.
General Comments:
This is a great car. It's very fast, and I have no trouble passing all those slow drivers on the road. The overdrive works well.
The car itself looks great. The GLS model has all the best features. The spoiler, wheels, leather interior, and sunroof really make this car look good.
I've read that the steering feels fake, but I was driving a GMC Sierra before, which had the turning radius of a tank, so the Intrigue's steering is no problem for me.
Because I live in the Midwest, I have to deal with all the snow in the winter. The traction control works extremely well in the snow. In my old truck, I probably would have spun around at least a hundred times. But in this car, I had no problems driving around in the snow.
For potential buyers of a used Intrigue, I recommend the extended warranty. You'll probably need it.

What exactly is a "semi-automatic" transmission?
