  Great Car - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By KWWCJKM - July 17 - 10:00 am

  My Aurora 3.5 is the best car I have owned - high quality, great sound system and fun to drive. The main complaint has been from my kids who say the middle back seat is uncomfortable. My mileage is 25 to 26 and have only had the car in for repair once in over 3 years (minor warranty items).

  1999 Olds Aurora - 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By John - June 16 - 11:00 pm

  I bought this car when it was 4 years old with 9,000 miles. I have since driven it up to 75,000 with only one major problem ($900), and Im pretty sure it would have been a cheaper fix had I not been in a strange town. Overall the car has been superb. I have friends who have the newer style, but honestly they just dont compare. If I can ever find another deal (low mileage, old body style) again, Ill do it! The powerful V8, smooth handling, and sleek look make it a very enjoyable ride. As typical with American cars resale is horrible, which is why I would never buy one new (I paid $12,500...sticker was $37,000). I dont receommend many American cars, but this one is a winner!

  Worth owning! - 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Rocket lover - May 29 - 10:40 pm

  Great value for the money and probably the most under rated vehicle in its class. Excellent build quality, relatively low sales adds to individuality of ownership. Could have created a little more performance for the V-8 given its design. Trying to find the way to afford another one or buy the wife another car so I can have it before she ruins it. Highly recommend trying one out if youre looking for a luxury/sport sedan. I think youll be surprised. Had one minor problem that was fixed by the dealer first time. Great comfort.

  A Terrific Olds - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By KeithinAZ - May 10 - 10:00 am

  This is a terric car. Solid, powerful, well built and reliable. We did have to go to warranty for front seals at 60,000. Would buy this car again.

  E Bay Purchase - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By DTA - March 29 - 8:20 pm

  I bid on and won this car on E Bay. I specifically wanted an Aurora after owning a 3.5 L back in 2001 which, by the time I sold it in 2005 had 92,000 trouble free miles on it. I wish I could say the same for the SUV I replaced it with. I have put 17,000 on my 4.0 L since February and it is still going strong. There have been minor issues but all have been simple to take care of without the need for a dealer or auto shop to be involved. I look daily at E Bay to find another good deal as when my wifes lease goes back guess what she will be driving. Great car, exceptional value for money. GM should have made this a Cadillac

  Gutsy V8 with Gadgets - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By DrOrb - March 16 - 2:00 am

  The Aurora 4.0 is a distinctive automobile with creature comforts and plenty of power. It sports a number of techno-features including a low tire pressure alarm. The car is sure-footed and able to operatew with any grade of unleaded gasoline, although 93 octane provides the most punch. My most negative impression is from the stock Michellin tires: theyre a strange size and the warranty proved to be worthless.

  The Car Of The Millenium! - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Aurora Kid - March 9 - 10:00 am

  The 2001 Aurora 4.0 that I have owned for the past 2 years has been the best car that I have ever driven or seen in the 43 years that I have been driv- ing. There is not enough space here for me to say how great this car is.

  Best Olds yet - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By carruol - February 25 - 2:00 am

  I cant wait to drive the car it is just that much of a great performer,smooth,nimble handling,powerful ly silky smooth v8 and just about every thing that makes a great car, is standard . AND it compares well with the cars from Japan. GM would do well to offer this car in one of their existing lines.

  Best Aurora - 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By anjinmike - January 23 - 9:26 pm

  I drive 25,000 miles/yr; get 26+mpg; have had one mechanical problem (drivers door handel broke); very quiet after I put Yokahoma tires on it; beat a teenager driving a new SS Camero off the line three days ago; after I got the governor removed west Texas speeds are very comfortable(a Mustang and I did 130-140 for almost an hour); 100k engine tune-up expensive but still runs like new; been using Mobil One and reset the computer when the oil life gets to 25%. Too bad the car was down sized for 2001, new ones just arent the same. I would have liked to try the car out in Germany I think it would hold its own running the Autobahns,slow lane only though.

  Why Is This Car Discontinued? - 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By JP May - December 27 - 2:00 am

  The Aurora is the best car Ive owned and unfortunately with the discontinuation of Oldsmobile, it will be my last Aurora. Too bad the phase- out of the Olds division was announced soon after the new Auroras introduction. The styling is distinctive, and with few models on the road, several people wanted to know what kind of car I was driving. The car has been completely trouble-free, solidly built, has plenty of power, and is attractively styled insode and out.
