I looked around where I live and couldn't find one so I bought a Dodge Intrepid. I looked at some newer ones and couldn't find one I could afford. I love the SS Monte's. I saw a yellow Special addition I would have loved to buy but the pocketbook said no.

it could have been worse sparky, be thankful nobody lost their life.

How do you like the Intrepid? My step mom has one, I don't like it

I'm glad I wasn't hurt as well. I like the Intrepid. I think there are things about both cars I like. The Monte had more power and it was a pretty cool car. I like having a little more room in the Dodge though. The Monte was definitely much sportier. I was fighting getting a 4 door car until I saw this one. It had only 33,000 miles and it is imaculate inside and out!

The trunks on those things are ginormous! The engine/tranny is silky smooth, and I like the white face guages, but that's where it ends. For as big as the car is, not nearly as comfy inside as I expected, my Monte is considerably more comfortable than the Intrepid. The ride is a little firm, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when you couple that with the abnormaly loud road noise injected into the cabin, it makes for a horrible combination. And the stereo system, don't even get me started

I hate the road noise as well. My Monte had a much quieter ride. Iv'e always liked GM's ride quality better. As for the stereo I will probably upgrade someday.
