  • Constant Companion - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora

    This car is eautiful and very reliable. The only repairs that I have had to make so far are a battery and wiper blade replacement last week. I will probably buy new tires in November. The engine loves to rev but is relatively low on torque. Its ride is a little harsh, but its handling is above average. New tires will probably improve the ride. My only complaint is a rattling sunroof when the shade is partially open. I would probably buy another one if a 5- or 6-speed auto was offered.

    It is very difficult to find a dealership to service Oldsmobile. I have had my car for 5 months and it has been in the shop twice for mulitple days both times. My other concern is with the Dealership who sold the car. They did not disclose important information regarding my extended warranty. Also, they said any GM dealer would service this car, that IS NOT so.

    While the Aurora exudes understated class and has a very attractive exterior and interior, the 3.5 liter 6 cylinder does not provide adequate acceleration. Performance of climate control is disappointing, as increments between interior temperature settings are too far apart below 65 degrees.

    Wonderful car--bought it new. Has lots of zip. Never been wrecked. Just time for a new one for us.

    The Aurora 4.0 is a distinctive automobile with creature comforts and plenty of power. It sports a number of techno-features including a low tire pressure alarm. The car is sure-footed and able to operatew with any grade of unleaded gasoline, although 93 octane provides the most punch. My most negative impression is from the stock Michellin tires: theyre a strange size and the warranty proved to be worthless.

  • Was good in the beginning - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    I bought the Aurora with 40,000 miles on it. It was great nice smooth ride handled well and loved the set up inside. About 3 years ago I started having problems with the wheel barons and have replaced the front driver and passenger side about three times each. All the Windows dont work the motors inside all broke the sun roof leaks. The transmission leaks, the oil leaks I have to put almost 5 qt in between each oil change and I had to replace the alternator twice in one year along with many other things. I just put a brand new alternator in a month ago and had to buy a battery yesterday and my battery light is on and says check charging system and I dont know why. I regret buying this car

  • Good value - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora

    My 3.5 has been very dependable. I like the new style - it definitely turns heads, with people asking what is it? Comfortable on highway and good handling in city. Compares very favorably to imports when consider the price.

  • Long term review (after 3 years) - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    I wrote my first review a month after I had it.I still love it after 3 years, but I had to replace the engine and tranny.The warranty I bought with the car covered ALL the repairs.The tranny was easy, but the engine was a problem.It kept overheating and it took 9 attempts before the dealership figured out the engine block had a clog.Because they kept returning the car to me without properly repairing it,the motor died.In the process they replaced every part of the cooling system.Finally,they replaced the motor with a brand new one from GM.Most of this issue was due to a bad service center.If they fixed it right the first time it would have cost them $400. Instead, it was $9,000. Duh!!

  • No Luck - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    I traded my 98 Aurora for the 01 model. In the last 10 months, the following replacements (all under warranty) - Steering column, power steering pump, ignition switch, ABS control module, transmission overhaul, and as of this weekend, the alternator. Mind you, this car has under 31K miles... I think I got the car built on Monday morning!

  • Sporty - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    I am really enjoying my Aurora. I have only had it a few months but it is really fun to drive. Love the heated seats in the winter :) The only complaint that I have is the rattle in the dash and passenger doors.
