  Safe and Reliable Car - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Olds Driver - November 2 - 10:30 pm

  Bought used over three years ago. All repairs (zero strandings and little inconvenience) have included window regulator (free under 60k mi warranty,) cam sensor - light (free again,) water pump (housing developed small leak which after several thousand miles had done for $200,) power steering pump (also a minor problem done at our convenience for $200.) A timing belt change on an economy car would have cost more than what we have spent in 70,000 miles of use. The only complaint I would give is the magnasteer unit which occasionally gave incorrect drag during high speed turns. I disconnected the magnet/rack (free and took two minutes) and now have generally perfect steering.

  Love the Aurora - 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By flyers - September 14 - 4:30 pm

  This is my second Oldsmobile Aurora, I had a February 1994-build Aurora and at 120,000 miles thought that it was best to look for improvements in automobile features. The only car that met my qualifications was the 1999 Aurora. I did not like the 2001 and the new Aurora styling and handling.

  Best domestic car of its year - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By lumberjack_jeff - September 11 - 10:00 am

  I love this car. It looks great, handles nicely, is eminently comfortable and some of the features are very thoughful (like a passenger mirror that rotates down to look at the curb when placed in reverse - for parallel parking). My AC compressor failed, but other than that, no mechanical issues. GM killed the wrong make. I have a Buick too - the Olds is dramatically better.

  A steal - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By sdagostin - September 3 - 10:00 am

  The Aurora has a better, more reliable engine, more passenger compartment space, is as distinctively attractive, and sells for much less than the BMW 5- Series and the Lexus ES 300. An honest person will admit that the appearance of the car and the maker’s cachet make up the majority of his purchasing decisions. Why else would someone choose an ES over an Aurora? The ES is $3,000 more than the Aurora, yet it is just a Camry with a few appointments and for 2002, it has become a borderline ugly car. The BMW is just overpriced. The Olds has a superior engine, is more comfortable inside, is just as reliable, and is just as attractive. But, its not a "Beemer". Is that worth 15 grand to you?

  Best For The $$$$$ - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By WindyCityJay - August 28 - 10:00 am

  I Contemplated between the V8 & the V6 test drove both the 8 wasnt significantly more powerful In other words I didnt notice a difference between the 2 But the Fuel economy on the 6 is Outstanding over 420 miles on a tank during regular Highway driving. Enough power to challenge most other cars on the road over 125 m.p.h. for over an hr going to San Diego from Chicago through Utah over 50K miles and still drives like new with no proiblems whatsoever.

  Great Car -- Good Lincoln/BMW Competitor - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Dalas - July 30 - 10:00 am

  Too bad GM couldnt market this to the late thirty, early forty something effectively as this is a great car. I thoroughly enjoy the ride, features, handling, performance, sound, leather, size, sound.

  What, me worried? - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Blurondo - July 2 - 10:00 am

  The car is over six years old, has 92,000 mi. and it still performs like it did when I got it in 2000. Great for city or highway driving; 18+ mpg in town and 23+ mpg on long trips. Rising gas prices have generated thoughts of switching to something else but I dont think I could stand the shock. Had to replace the directional switch, apparently not totally uncommon, for an uncommon price of $550.00.
