  Very Reliable - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By RK - May 2 - 10:00 am

  Only problem so far been a broken drivers side door handle, and it can be a little difficult to fill at the gas pump. Other then that it was a very sweet ride. The New 2001+ Auroras look like an Intrigue, a big mistake by olds.

  Great car - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By AMW - April 25 - 2:00 am

  Overall a great car. In 5 years and 70000 miles, replaced alternator once. Rubber seal around windshield came loose at 50,000 miles. A tube of super glue solved that problem. Top performance and comfort on highway.

  Beautiful Car - 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Happy Customer - April 24 - 6:00 am

  I just bought my dream car. 1999 Olds Aurora with 94,000 miles for $6500. I have been looking for months. Its white pearl with tan. It is so quiet, I cannot even hear the engine, unless you roll down the windows and kick it .....then hear it roar. Its a pity customers buy foreign cars when such quality cars are made in America. Buy American.

  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.

  Good car but has had some issues - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By baitshop - March 21 - 3:37 am

  I bought this car at 30,000 miles and have put 100,000 more on myself. There were some issues with the steering about two years after I bought it, Olds. recalled the Alero for steering issues but not the Aurora however they have the same steering set up. The steering wheel mounted controls do not light up as they should. In the last two months I have started leaking oil and now I am looking to get rid of it all together. On the plus side, it has really good pick up, lots of extras, lots of power and it does well in all weather. Very safe too. It has been a good car for 140,000 miles but it is going to take some serious cash in the next year to keep it running.

  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.

  cheap car with expensive price tag - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By heathercorday - December 26 - 10:00 am

  I didnt get the extendend warranty and wish that I had. The steering pops, in the winter the temperature dosent get warm enough to make the heater blow hot, the window switch went out, now the window regulator is shot, and the rotors are warped.

  Hate to Trade It, but... - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Frank - December 1 - 8:10 pm

  We bought this car as an early lease return and paid half of what a new one cost. It has had the typical repairs (dimming headlight problem and ignition switch failure) but overall it has been reliable and a head turner whenever we take it out. It has never seen snow or winter roads (a garage queen) but the resale value is plummeting, parts seem to be in short supply, and my extended warranty is up, so it will be traded in shortly for a fraction of what should be worth. I, too, am sorry GM bailed out on this one. It was my third Olds and by far the best. I tried a Cadillac CTS but it just doesnt come close. Looks like an Acura may be the next step.
