  Aurora - Keep these around! - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Photeus - December 16 - 6:33 pm

  After a year in the 3.5 Aurora, It loks and feels brand new. I have had no problems of any type with this vehicle. It is quick off the line, and holds its own at highway speeds, never leaving you wanting for passing power. I hope that another line picks up this car when Olds tosses in the towel. It is the only thing worth salvaging in their line. I had an Intrigue and will never step down again from the quality of this car.

  An American Beauty - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By PetesBuckeye - December 5 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I drive 62 miles round trip every day. Our previous 97 Bonneville was ok, but this car pampers. We have the navigation radio which is really cool and helpful. Likewise personal calling and OnStar. There is a small amount of wind noise as others have pointed out, but it is not very noticeable and I wonder if those complaining dont need to have adjustments. (Or maybe the 02s are improved in that area.) Go for it.

  Love the Drive - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By robamra - November 23 - 2:00 am

  I drive a lot of highway miles. This car has given me comfort and pride. I have had no problems in any type of weather that I have encurred while driving. I live in NorthEast Indiana and the drives to the New York, Chicago, Cincinatti, Detroit, and others have been relaxing without problems. The gas milage hasnt been bad at all either!

  Subtle Elegance - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By John Klika - July 24 - 10:00 am

  I have had the vehicle for just over a year now and it has performed perfectly from day one. I traded another 2001 GM vehicle for the Aurora because the Regal had a driver seat with zero comfort. The Aurora seat with its lumbar support has provided super comfort on my 60 mile drive to work. Also, who can complain of the 26 mpg hwy. fuel mileage that I am getting? I have grown to really look forward to every day when I can drive the car.

  Aurora is traditional - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Aurora/driver - June 12 - 2:00 am

  Have driven my Aurora now for 18 months. Considering the price I could not be more pleased. It has been 100% reliable and very good on gas mileage, 24 mpg over all. In my eyes the styling will endure for some time. It feels solid and safe. Only wish GM could this more often and people give them a look!

  Wind Noise - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By mlajr - November 22 - 4:20 am

  Let me get this part over first. If you want to have the sound of wind inside a vehicle (with all the windows up), then this is the car to buy. Take a look at the cheap, thin, narrow weather-stripping around the doors and the lack of insulation in the pillars surrounding the doors, and you can understand why this vehicle does such a poor job of keeping the wind noise quiet--especially at highway speeds above 55 mph.

  Sterling Silver Aurora V8 - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Path Black - September 22 - 10:00 am

  I was very surprised by the Oldsmobile Aurora. The design and technology are remarkable. The performance will catch you off guard.

  A steal - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By sdagostin - September 3 - 10:00 am

  The Aurora has a better, more reliable engine, more passenger compartment space, is as distinctively attractive, and sells for much less than the BMW 5- Series and the Lexus ES 300. An honest person will admit that the appearance of the car and the maker’s cachet make up the majority of his purchasing decisions. Why else would someone choose an ES over an Aurora? The ES is $3,000 more than the Aurora, yet it is just a Camry with a few appointments and for 2002, it has become a borderline ugly car. The BMW is just overpriced. The Olds has a superior engine, is more comfortable inside, is just as reliable, and is just as attractive. But, its not a "Beemer". Is that worth 15 grand to you?

  Air pump problems at 50,000 miles and again at 75,000. drive shaft replace around 30,000 and again around 35,000 2 electric motors on rear windows, which are rarely used front end problems around 50,000 GM has reimbursed me for some of the work, but air pump is acting up again at 80,000 poor design.
