Detailed Review:
I have test driven the Intrigue over 13,000 miles. It has lots of equipment and lots of problems to go along with it. It looks good but looks in this case are quite deceiving. The car has had 21 recorded manufacturer defects, and quit running on the first day of ownership (in traffic / in torential rain).
Not small nit picky problems: Steering unstable and faulty; ABS System annoyingly noisy; Heater Motor defective; Shift Lock / Steering Lock safety mechanism was not connected at assembly; CD Changer defective; Windshield Wipers defective; Sunroof defective; other minor defects.
