We had an Intrepid with the 2.7 but we got rid of it with 50000 miles on the clock because of the bad reports we had heard about the engine. Some of the reports we read stated the early ones had a small oil pan with less oil capacity so the oil would sludge and plug the drain holes in the heads. The heads would fill up with oil and the the engine would starve and lock up. Most people had this happen when the car was in the 70000 mile range.
The engine gets it's power at high RPM's and the shift points were set accordingly, so if you want power you have to get it to the screaming stage. The gas mileage wasn't too great but it could have been because we had a small engine in a big car. The power was about the same as the 3.3 we had in our previous Intrepid but the 2.7 had to be more hyper-active to get there. Jim
