2003 Dodge Intrepid Review
A great American sedan.
2003 Intrepid Review Summary & Specifications
With its powerful engine and stiff body structure, the Dodge Intrepid offers excellent handling and acceleration. It's smooth and quiet, until you stomp on the throttle. At the same time, there's plenty of room for passengers and cargo.The new Intrepid SXT offers a strong value with a more powerful engine at a lower price.
