  GREAT car, but bad in a fender-bender - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Ian G. - May 12 - 5:56 pm

  This is an excellent car. Ive owned it for less than 4 months and have put 3,000 miles on top of the original 45,000. Its my first car and I can already tell that it was a good choice. The car has enough power and acceleration to keep me entertained without getting me into trouble. In the twisties this car is a blast. It seems to have the perfect balance of handling and ride quality. The car performs on long trips, although the seats can get a little uncomfortable after hours on the road. The brakes are strong and responsive but the stock tires arent great. The tread life is too short. I already need new tires and they arent as thick as I would like. Other than that, the car is great!

  Still "Intrigued" after all these years! - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By sammy(alias mario) - March 27 - 10:00 am

  Bought this car new in 98 , fell in love with it and still love it ! We had a few problems but all were taken care of by the dealer, under warrenty ( rough shifing, shift lever broke button, front roters warped) This is a very nice car. It handles well , good gas millage( on regular), has plenty of pick up and rides wel. Made in the USA with UAW labor and 85% US/ Canadian parts content. Buy American! A very pleasing car to drive.

  I put on a lot of miles each year and the Intrigue is smooth driving, comfortable and a GREAT sedan. Wonderful for the price.

  Loved it, despite problems late in life - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By BNSF616 - September 24 - 7:56 am

  Bought new 2/98. Great car for the first 8 yrs or so. Fun to drive, good fuel economy, good ergonomics, comfortable. It always (from around age 2+) had a minor, but irritating, oil leak that no one ever seemed able to find or fix. Otherwise, experienced only the usual and expected wear-related maintenance issues until about age 9, when several major problems cropped up (cracked intake manifold, mainly), and along with expected maintenance items consistent with that age/mileage just became too much to justify on a car with 121K miles. Finally traded it off 8/2008, but with a lot of sadness. It really was a good car overall, and I was very sorry to see it go.

  Oldsmobile in the USA - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By michael R. - September 8 - 10:00 am

  never a problem with over 120k just general fluid changes and light maintenance. Who says general motors cantt build. The ride and quality of the oldsmobile intrigue rivals the japan and european sedans. The oldsmobile intrigue one really good car.I have owned the rivals too.

  I love my Intrigue - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Abner - August 31 - 10:00 am

  I absolutely love my Intrigue!!! It runs great, looks great, and is even more fun to drive. The gas mileage could be better, but the pros of this car far outway the cons.

  Great Choice - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Happy Driver - November 1 - 2:00 am

  Bought the car new in 99 - mechanics leftover type deal so it had 3400 miles, big deal! I love this car. Has been great! I drive one of the twistiest highways in NY to and from work and never had a problem. Smooth power on the hills, holds the road great. Cup holder holds anything. Live on top of a Mtn and never even put snows on this baby!

  One of my favorite cars ever - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By james O - June 25 - 10:00 am

  I love this car. Being 62" I do not fit comfortably in many cars. This car is perfect for me. My 411" wife finds it a bit too large for her taste but still drives it often. I wanted a mid- size domestic car that was as good or better than an import. This is definately the right car. Engine is excellent, I prefer a little tighter cornering but I am also a motorcyclist who is spoiled. The only drawbacks are a lack of adjustable lumber support and although great, I prefer the A/C controls on the import vehicles. I get almost daily compliments and questions about my Intrigue. I would highly recommend this car and am sad that the Olds name will not continue.

  Loved this car - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Intrigue fan - May 19 - 1:20 am

  I bought this car used in 2004, w/45,000 miles. I was used to buying foreign, and remember test driving this when it was new. It was designed to compete with foreign cars, handling and design. Also the 3800 Series II was a temp till the engine they planned for the car was finished. I must say I LOVED THIS CAR from the day I bought it, till I sold it, and wish hadnt. The handling was great, and very similar to foreign. Gas mileage was remarkably good for a 3.8 engine. This engine blows the replacement 3.5 engine (later yrs) away. Much smoother and quieter shifting and ride. Great room, great design. I only wish they still made them. My A/C went too. Otherwise reliable, except normal wear.
