  Possessed by a Demon - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Bad News - September 15 - 10:00 am

  Thank God for the states lemon law. Ive owned this car for over a year after trading in my Intrigue. Ive had it in for warranty work 8 times with some problems cleared up, but with a persistent episodic glitch in the steering/suspension. The rack and pinion, steering column, and wheel bearings have been replaced on three seperate multi-day stays in the shop. Whats with the ratchety feel in the steering? My dream car is a nightmare.

  DANGER! WARNING STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR. - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Thomas Alcantine - March 25 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car for my 18 year old son over a 3-Series BMW not the 5- Series as many unexperienced non- affluent drivers compare it too. I never owned a car this bad. The leather is cheap, the engine is noisy, interior pieces have broken, door locks died. It is disgraceful to compare this economy car to a luxury car. The person who said the Lexus GS is a Camry, you are wrong. The GS is built off the Avalons platform. I drive the 2002 Mercedes CLK55AMG. I recommend, spend the extra money and go for a TRUE luxury car. (Mercedes, Volvo, BMW, Jaguar,etc.) On Edmunds luxury page, you wont find Oldsmobile, Buick or Chrsyler in there.

  Great Value - Great Car - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Jim MacMurdo - December 30 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I are very pleased with our new Aurora 3.5. The engine is probably the most powerful one weve owned; it put our former 1996 Riviera (3.8L V6) to shame. The handling is superb -- firm, taut, communicative, but never harsh. Even some of our "died-in-the- wool Ford" friends have commented how comfortable and quiet the car is.

  Oldsmobile should have tried harder - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By michael70 - September 12 - 1:53 pm

  The Aurora was built to save Olds. They should have done a better job because they had the right idea with this car, but the reliability just isnt there. I bought it in 2006 with only 27k miles. It looks spectacular, it drives smoothly and handles great. However, dont buy this car without a warranty. I love Olds, but I still cant get over the leaking radiator fluid, bad window motor, and faulty EBCM, which lights up your instrument panel like a Christmas tree with all the warnings. It will prevent you from passing a safety inspection. Oh and forget about getting any navigation CD updates. They stopped making them.

  I Love My Aurora - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Olds Fan - July 6 - 10:00 am

  The Aurora is a wonderful driving experience. Our Dealership is very customer oriented. My husband has purchased Olds for over fifty years. The only thing I would change (and this is true of other brands I have been in also) is the noise from the air conditioning and heater. Why cant this be remedied?

  Im very happy with my Aurora! - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Jay - May 10 - 12:06 pm

  Ive owned my Olds for 3 years and I have to say its the best car Ive ever had! Its very comfortable to drive, especially on 3 day road trips. I get 33mpg (highway driving). Amazing what high octane fuel and K&N air filters can do for mileage and passing power! Its very safe/stable driving on highways or in the city in all whether conditions be it be rain, ice or blizzard. I cant even tell the roads are bad it handles so well! Here in Canada we have extreme road conditions and I have no problem passing other cars/trucks (good or poor road conditions). There has been no work done to the car except regular maintenance. No breakdowns or problems. Car has 77,400 miles on it so far.

  Going to Miss Olds - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Johngo - April 17 - 2:00 am

  At age 37, this is my fourth Oldsmobile. There is nothing like the 4.0. It provides with power all the time, at any speed. The looks of the car are deceiving. I am always asked if is a Mercedes or Infiniti. Its a shame Olds is going away. This is a great car. Seats are big and roomy. Luxury features like real wood dash are hard to find in a car at this price. No car in this price range makes the noise it does when you step on it. Id say, go get one, you an get a great deal on one. I do wish the fit was a little tighter. Squaks come out at the darndest times. I had that trouble with my Intrigue as well. So long OLDS, you will not be forgotten.

  Best car I ever had - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Al - April 1 - 4:00 pm

  I like this car a lot the style is great the interior is top notch. I think the best thing is I got mine with the v8 which is believe it or not is rather good on gas I average 23 mpg that is better than my Taurus when running only did 18 mpg now it does 0. I should have purchased this car along time ago. I am done with v6 motors I have had no luck with them .

  Hidden Gem - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Eric - December 22 - 3:13 am

  Looks, performance, handling, luxury -- this car has it all. It does everything well in a neat and tidy package. The engine is smooth and powerful and gets decent fuel economy. The suspension smooths out the bumps and takes corners with aggression. The exterior styling while not overt is modern and pleasing to the eyes. The interior is very comfortable and all of the controls fall easily at hand.
