  Better Equipped Than More Expensive Cars - 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Linda Ann - April 16 - 11:16 pm

  Nobody can beat the heated 6-way power front seats, chrome wheels. This car was smart looking & very reliable.

  Oldsmobile Intrigue 2002 - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Ken Corey - April 11 - 10:00 am

  I previously owned a Cadillac Seville and wanted a car equal in comfort and size. This is just as comfortable, more peppy, and more economical. I only have my cars dealer serviced because they know the cars.

  Great Used Car - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By 1st Olds - April 2 - 10:00 am

  Bought this car with 98000 miles on it needed a car badly at the time price was great but was worried because of mileage now at 108k and car runs great. cant believe the deal I got. compared to my used Honda Civic that only had 28k miles and has cost me $700 on repairs and still needs the ac fixed and has check engine light on again. This car is a dream. Also has great power. My next new car will be a GM product.

  Great car - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By jroberts - March 5 - 3:16 am

  This car has over 120,000 miles. I bought it new and other than routine maintenance the only repair has been a new compressor for air conditioning. The leather seats have held up really well. My favorite thing about this car is the fast acceleration. It is like no other car I have driven and makes merging onto a highway a safer experience.

  Still going - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By BB - March 5 - 2:00 am

  This is BB who posted on 3/9/10. My Intrigue is at 266K. Kept asking my mechanic when he thought it would go and he said the motor was still strong. Ive had restless nights trying to decide between buying another used 2000 Intrigue or above (noticed below 2000 clist ads had issues) again or a used foreign car. Toyota was the only other my mech rec. My car had 2 repairs costing $200/$400 since last post and then the a/c compressor went out. I did not fix bc IDK when the car will call it quits. Called around and found a 2000 w/115k miles and am getting it this wknd. Knock on wood I have luck w/this one! Im going to drive the old one til spring since the ac is out and switch to the other car.

  BURNS OIL - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By jamied - February 28 - 10:00 am

  I currently have a 1999 Olds Intrigue GL with the 3.5L motor (56,000 miles).I drive a combination of city and highway.Its a really good car for the most part; but, I have one HUGE complaint. It burns oil like you wouldnt believe. For those of you out there who wait for the "Change Oil" light to come on before simply heading to the lube shop, I have a very rude awakening for you. The first time I checked my oil after 4000 miles(before light came on) there was only a trace of oil on the stick. Now,I check my oil every 1000 miles and this car burns a quart of oil every 2500 miles.The dealer checked this and said it was normal? Anyone else have this issue?

  Do not buy! - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By George - February 19 - 9:43 am

  The plastic trim under the doors holds water and the frame rusts. I probably knocked off ten pounds of rust this past week. I get about 15 mpg in the city and 19 maybe 20 mpg on highway. The crankshaft sensor went out after a month or two after I bought it. Friends who have the same car tell me they have to replace theirs about once a year. They cost around $60 so its not an expensive fix but it adds up year after year. The car just wasnt designed very well. Especially for rust. I cant even jack my car up to change a tire because the frame will bend and crack from all the rust. Do not buy. Spend a little more on a better car. Like a Honda. This car is a waste of money

  Best Ever - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Bill215 - February 18 - 2:00 am

  Bought this former rental with 29,000 on it and have never regretted a minute of ownership. Repairs have been replacement of turn signal bulbs and drivers side window motor (80,000 mi.) It is a pleasure to drive on highways or twisty back roads. The 3.8 engine is smooth and has never given any trouble. Its only 195 hp, but always feels stronger. When it had 80,000 mi. on it, I took it to LA and back (1100+ mi.) and it averaged 31.5 mpg. at Interstate speeds. Did another 1100 mi. jaunt to AZ five months ago and did almost as well on gas. Ive owned them all, foreign and domestic, and this is the best. GM was nuts to stop production.

  GMs Big Mistake - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By ab348 - February 10 - 10:33 am

  GMs big mistake was killing Oldsmobile and hence cancelling cars like the Intrigue. It was the best of GMs W-body platform cars (Grand Prix, Regal, Impala) with clean styling, the fine 3.5L twincam engine, crisp handling and steering, and all-around road manners. I bought my Intrigue after it had a years service in a fleet and I couldnt be happier. It drives very nicely, is comfortable, quiet, and fast, and if you want to have a little fun that engine just loves to rev. What a shame that the geniuses that run GM couldnt make a car like this a success.

  Great Mechanically - Fair Build Quality - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By intrigued in chicago - January 18 - 2:00 am

  Car has been decent. Always starts. Runs smooth. Great engine and transmission. No major fixes out of warranty (almost 20,000 miles ago). Leather is a little below par, and dashboard is a little separated from one vent. I am satisified with purchase. Dealer was terrible, terrible, terrible. Stay away from Rohrman dealerships is Chicago.
