  Good value - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Mike - June 27 - 10:53 am

  Normally I dont like to buy American cars, but after doing my research I decided to take a chance on the Aurora. I am very pleased overall with the car.The acceleration is brisk but it could use a little more low end power.I bought a K&N drop in air filter and helps with throttle responce. The interior is well laid out and conrols are easy to use. The exterior is awesome. I have back problems and long trips are a difficult, but in this car, Im really comfortable.Ive had no mechanical problems at all.considering what I paid for the car and all the features it has, its a good value. I would suggest that if you purchase an Aurora, or any American car, get an extended warranty.

  My last GM car - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By 3 Time Olds Owner - June 21 - 1:46 am

  I have owned 5 GM products but this is my last one. The car has needed $1500 in transmission work, $300 to fix a steering shaft, has suffered a leaking trunk and leaking sun roof, has various electrical gremlins, and has been an overall disappointment. Of the last 6 oil changes, only one visit was just for an oil change, in fact Ive spent over $4000 in repairs in two years. Its no wonder why GM went bankrupt after owning this car.

  Id Recommend This Car To A Friend - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By bluehen900 - April 7 - 2:00 am

  I compared the Aurora to the Lincoln LS, Toyota Avalon and Chrystler 300M. I found the Aurora to be far superior. The performance has been excellent and nothing has disappointed me. The options are great, from the dual heated power front seats to the rain-sensing wipers. An excellent value with option only found in much more expensive vehicles. Only dislike is the view of the headlights...looks too much like the Olds Intrigue. I would and have recommended this car to friends.

  aurora the flag ship car of OLDS????? - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Neveragain GM - February 9 - 3:53 am

  This is a garbage car, was very excited when I first got it.This car was fun to drive for the first two weeks, then the problems... ready here you go: Sunroof leak - 2 weeks Car wont start - 3 months Wipers stop working - 6 months Steering pinion broke - 7 months Rear window falls into door (suring a nice snow fall) - 12 months Water pouring out of the locking mechanism of the trunk this not covered under warranty, GM says it is not a poor workmanship issue, but the give me a $1000 voucher towrds the purchase of a new GM vehicle. 12 months have more to say, not enough room Long and short... if you buy this garbage car, you better get a very long extended warranty

  Goodbye to the pre-pro - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By NESZ - September 11 - 6:03 pm

  I own an Aurora this has been the most fun I have had in an automobile, to have the luxury, driveability, quality, and body style all rolled into one vechile. The performance of the powertrain is top shelf.

  2001 3.5 Not So Lucky - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By oke doke - July 3 - 10:00 am

  Acquired the 2001 3.5 in Feb 2003 w/ 19K mi. The car now has 30K mi. on it. Since purchase, replaced the steering column, the pwr steering pump, the ignition switch (the car would literally just stop running on the highway while doing 70 mph), and as of 09/29/03, the transmission is gone!. Also - the driver door squeak were ones left leg rests against the speaker (in case you think the noise is coming from your seat). Needless to say, kind of a bum experience. I owned a 98 Aurora w/ 100K on it and traded it in on this - the 98 never had an issue - guess I made a bad call...

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
