  I liked it so much - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Beatrice - December 29 - 2:00 am

  I bought a used 2001 and liked it so much, I wanted a brand new one. The 2001 was a 4.0 and the 2002 is a 3.0. I really like the style of this car. I had a Cutlass and I really liked it, too. They made a big mistake when they got rid of the Cutlass. People ask me all the time "what kind of car is this?" Its not the best on mileage and it doesnt have the pick up that the 4.0 has. The DIC is the best and I like the radio info, also. The only thing I regret is the light color of the interior. I wish it was black. Ill keep it for a while. I dont think the resell value is the best.

  A Good Ride - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By A Mistake - December 24 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle Has two major design flaws that should not be replicated anywhere. There is Zero clearance between the front wheels and the frame of the car, and the battery is located under the back seat inside the passenger area.

  a little disappointed - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By monica dennis - August 22 - 2:00 am

  I fell in love with my car when my husband brought it home.We have had numerous problems since we have had the Aurora.Early in 2002, the wipers stopped working,weather stripping began leaking on drivers side and had to be replaced, the back panel seperating the trunk from the back seat will not stay attatched, the driver side window works "MOST" of the time, the entire steering-wheel column and surrounding had to be replaced, the two back red lights that come on in fog light mode had to be replaced as well as the front passenger side main light bulb. Thank God for extended warranties, but what happens when it runs out????

  Low Mileage Driver - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Gordon Martyn - January 6 - 12:36 pm

  My 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora has low mileage. It is driven mostly in the city and suburbs on fairly heavily traveled roads. It is the only car I have ever had that didnt require any repairs or recalls. It performs beautifully, has good pickup and gets fairly good mileage. The ride isnt the most comfortable but it is adequate. I am very satisfied with this car.

  Pretty Good - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Paul - August 31 - 10:00 am

  Overall, I am very happy with the car. However, I would like more power and better build quality. A 5-speed would be nice too.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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. I love the looks and the handling and it has so far it has not let me down on starting will I keep it? not sure at this time
