dodge intrepids

couple of questions,
firstly what is the year of this car to avoid, i heard a certain year was a death trap, cant remember think it was 2000 but need to clarify,
secondly, does anyone know what this car is actually like, i am looking into making this the first car i get if i move to the states, and will prob get a 2004 model, but obviously i dont wanna loose half my wages paying for it every month if it turns out to be a crap car.
cheers guys

I test drove one a while back and it wasn't too bad.  My parents were thinking about buying one as another family car and they wanted me to drive and see what I thought as well (no, I wasn't trading off my Camaro  ;)).  In the end, it was a comfortable and easy car to drive.  It didn't have a lot of preformance capabilities but they aren't designed for that-basically it was not a fast car (which is one of my things).  In the end, we didn't buy it-but it was nice.

thanks richie:) sort of thing i wanted to hear, i think a high performance car is going to have to wait for a few years as i still will be a new driver when i move, and also i will def be new driver over there, and insurance companies will not exactly wanna be giving away policies.
i am hoping to put in a manual gearbox to at least help a little but who knows.
Cheers again
