  • Olds - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    I bought my aurora in 2007 used with 138k miles on it, Im around 202k now. I could not be happier with my first car. Ive had little issues like changing a handful of sensors, and a fuel pump but spending a few hundred every once in a while is better than a car payment. It is pretty good on gas for being a V8 too, I live in the city and my average is 23 mpg. On the express way I get around 35 believe it or not! My Olds still has plenty of life left in it. I plan on keeping it until I run it into the ground and who knows I might look for another after.

  • Smooth ride, great value - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    I bought this care used with about 18,000 miles. Currently at 108,000. Smooth ride, luxurious for the price, good acceleration, good stereo, hugs the road. No engine trouble besides it started burning about a quart of oil every 1000 miles once I hit 50k. No biggie from my perspective. Very nice car, no complaints whatsoever. Love the pearl white paint. Nice aluminum wheels. Great trunk space. Leather has held up well. Nice look from the front at night with a cool headlight design.

    This car has been reliable but quirky at times--cannot keep center ac vent on dash in one piece! Has been replaced twice, still it breaks. Sometimes gives false ratings on message center- low tire pressure when very cold outside. Just replaced both crankshaft sensors--gave check engine light and caused car to die in traffic! Other than these problems the car has been great. Now has 52,000 on odometer.

  • Aurora 3.5 - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    This is the most reliable vehicle I have owned and I have owned or leased over 10 vehicles. The power and handling ability are exceptional and the lumbar support and power seats make this a most comfortable car to drive. Oldsmobile has truly created a fine luxury vehicle beating the former European luxury car I owned before with its comfort, handling, and power. Too bad GM is discontinuing Oldsmobile. They should place the Aurora into the Buick line as its luxury sport vehicle.

  • Lots of features for the price - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    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.

    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.

  • Outstanding Car - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    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 -

    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.

  • Eh...Its just OK - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    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.

  • Sharp looking, satisfying - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
    By -

    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.
