  Sorry to see them go! - 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Mickeys Mom - November 19 - 2:00 am

  The first time I laid eyes on the Aurora was at the auto show. I was leaving the Lexus exhibit and thought it was one of their cars. The minute I saw it I knew it was the car for me. After checking the price I was sold. 12 weeks later I was driving my factory order 4.0. I love driving my car. It really handles the road well. There are two things that I am not happy with however, the cup holder and the CIS. The cupholder is set at an odd angle and the CIS warning system frequently goes off for no reason and must be reset at the dealership.

  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?

  No Problems! - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By drorb - July 3 - 10:00 am

  The 4.0 V8 is a dream for those of us who suffered throught the Rice Rockets of the 70s. The engine runs on all grades of gasoline with appropriate performance. Not a sports car, but plenty of guts for passing and accelerating.

  Sleek and Luxury In One - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By jillion - June 24 - 10:33 am

  Definitely a luxury vehicle. Moving from one state to another,...requested a simple oil change (high quality products)from a quick lube shop that allowed a trainee to perform the oil change (without oversight), etc... overtightening then causing engine to leak and eventually fail (cost me $6,500 to fix).

  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.

  Fun car, but many problems - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Aurorakoth - April 22 - 11:26 am

  This car is still fun to drive 3 years after I bought it. It gets looks quite often as it is almost one of a kind in my town. I actually seen another black one on the highway and the couple in that car waved in suprise. On the other hand, the reliability of this car has been awful. I bought it with 26,000 miles. Ive had the water pump, secondary air pump, front end parts, stearing parts, and at 74,600 miles, right before the warranty expired, the transmission went out. The car has not been the same since. It shifts hard around 40 mph and the dealerships have tried to fix it, but have not succeded. I think it has to do with the O.D. Besides the expensive repairs, this is a great car.

  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.
