Advantages of the 2004 Dodge Intrepid:

• Gigantic interior with lots of rear sprawl space
• Good content vs. price value
• Usually available with big discounts

Objections to the 2004 Dodge Intrepid:

• Outward visibility (especially to the rear)
• Somewhat unrefined powertrain
• Somewhat downmarket interior materials

Editor's Advice:
The 2004 Dodge Intrepid epitomizes what modern American cars are all about: it's large inside and out, has plenty of room for luggage in the trunk, performs well for its size, and offers good value. Too bad that it’s gone after 2004, replaced by a station wagon called the Magnum. This is your last chance at a full-sized Dodge sedan for awhile.
