  Reliable Comfortable - 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Tom - May 3 - 1:03 am

  Extremely comfortable front seats. Smooth highway car and handles better than most other cars this size.

  Lots of features for the price - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Jay_Portland - April 24 - 10:00 am

  This is a great value given the features it provides. Many standard features make it very easy and fun to drive. The 4.0 has lots of power. Handling leans more towards comfort than performance but there is a good balance. Mechanically sound but has been in the shop more than expected for minor cosmetic stuff.

  2001 Olds Aurora - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Glenn - April 13 - 12:10 am

  My car is fun to drive - it handles securely in traffic and on the road. After 70,000 miles it has been very reliable with only two trips to the dealer for repair service. It is a good sized car that is very comfortable and economic to drive. My car gets over 30 mpg on the road and usually 26 - 27 mpg overall. I have never been stuck in the snow here in Wisconsin. The V6 engine seems to have adaquate power in passing other cars on the open road. The trunk space could be a little larger, but that is a small matter overall. If GM were were still making this model it would be first on my list when looking for another sedan.

  2nd. Aurora - 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Don M - March 17 - 2:00 am

  Had an 01 Aurora V6 and recorded 60,000 miles in about 2 years Got about 30 MPG from NJ to FL. I liked the car so much that I traded it in on an 03 Aurora. Drove it from New Jersey to North Carolina on I95 and adveraged 28.5 MPG. A great cat for touring.

  Outstanding Car - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Jericho - March 7 - 10:00 am

  I just bought my 4.0 used a few months ago, after reconsidering an SUV purchase...Who really needs 90 cubic feet of space...I got so much luxury for my money...Its a shame the resale is so low...the cars handles flawlessly...I feel the road and the engin at work together and was shocked at the balls in this car...off the line its great and the interier is outstanding...soo comfortable to drive anywhere. I have a FULLY loaded version and after hours of time spent on comparison...could not find one reason to not buy this car...It seems to be the best kept secret on the road. Sorry it has to go

  Great Car Overall - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By niteowl - February 17 - 2:00 am

  Overall this has been a good ownership experience. The car rides great, is quiet, and the V6 gives a good compromise between mileage and power. I drove the V8, and while it has more power the front end was heavier and the car seemed less agile. Excellent highway cruiser. After a long trip we are much less tired than riding in other cars we have owned. Have seen others complain about squeaks/rattles/fit/finish, howevever, I have had no problems. No warranty issues other than replaced front tie rods at 35,000 miles--seems to be an issue with this car and the Seville, which share the same platform.

  Aurora - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By James Becker - February 3 - 2:00 am

  I have had to problems with this car that I felt Olds should of addressed with at least some assistance. Air conditions unit went out at 70000 miles dealer wanted $1200.00, A repair shop down the street charged me $595.00 The radiator is of poor design allowing road debre to collect in the fins. Almost impossible unit to clean of flush. Will have to replaced in 2003

  Eh...Its just OK - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By terry1988 - December 5 - 11:41 am

  My Oldsmobile has been alright for the year that I had it. Ive since then traded it for a Honda Accord. Engine and transmission were solid but there have been a few problems over the course of a year. Water pump, ($350) Power steering pump, ($200) Front-end wheel bearings, Tie rods, Front-end alignment, (650), A/C Compressor, (900). My car had an leaking oil issue to the point of going through 4 quarts in between oil changes. Interior quality wasnt very good - headliner falling down - door panel plastic crumbling. Great car but its expensive to maintain.

  The best - 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Torod - November 9 - 2:00 am

  I have owned Auroras since Oct of 1994 and have never driven a better car. I am very disapointed that GM has chosen to first down-grade the car and then discontinue it, and Oldsmobile. How dumb can a Management be to dump the countries oldest name plate. Anyway, I realize GMs decision has hurt the Aurora for near-future resale value but I do believe they will come back as a collector car in the future. In the mean time Ive moved to the Pontiac SSEi as the next best thing!

  Sharp looking, satisfying - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Darrell Tope - November 6 - 11:03 pm

  I enjoy the look, comfort , performance and reliability of my Aurora. Combined city-highway driving average is about 23 mpg at speed limits. Handles moderate bumps a little stiff (like all three of the Oldsmobiles I have owned). I was expecting a little sportier ride (handling in the curves), but overall I am very satisfied with my Aurora. I wished GM had not discontinued them.
