  2002 Olds Intrigue GL - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Tony M - May 28 - 5:26 am

  This is the wifes car,but I drive it occasionally. We negotiated a very good price and GM gave a $3500 rebate. I occasionally drive the car, and it is always a pleasure. It is very comfortable,handles well,plenty of power and loaded with features. This car has been rock solid reliable through 67k miles (knock on wood). The OHC engine took a little getting used to. Im used to the classic push rod grunt off the line and then power fade at 4000 or so rpm. Exactly the opposite happens with the 3.5 OHC. Overall we are VERY pleased with the Intrigue. I am and always have been a "GM guy." It is a shame that the Olds division had to die-they were building GMs best cars.

  Kinda Noisy - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By n8 - May 9 - 6:26 am

  Ive driven this car for about 2½ years. Over all the car has some good features: peppy engine, roomy, and a smooth ride. On the flip side, the engine is very noisy at times I cant even here the music. Ive had it in the shop a couple of times (fuel sensor, and something to do with the injectors), but all covered under warrenty. For some reason the clock on the CD player keeps resetting itself...

  Love my car - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By lovemycar - May 4 - 10:20 pm

  I love my car and have no plans to sell it. The only problem I have is an issue with the blinkers. Theres a short somewhere. Other than the blinkers and routine maintenance, Ive had no problems at all. It drives great, has plenty of power, and still gets good gas mileage. Its plenty comfortable for our family of 4. Weve made quite a few road trips in it.

  Ultra Reliable - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Gord.D - March 31 - 9:03 pm

  Ive owned this car now since March 2009 (with only 60,000 miles on it) and have put about 30,000 miles on it in one year. Its my daily driver and its been very comfortable and super reliable (Ive changed the tires and the oil and thats about it). While GM may not have figured out Interior Issues by 2002, they sure figured out the mechanical stuff with this car. An excellent buy Used if you can find a well looked after example.

  Intrigue, Love It - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By radko - March 20 - 3:40 pm

  When Olds first advertised the Intrigue in 97 it was on my list for my wife. I waited for the 3.5 and found a rebuildable GLS with 3,000 miles and the $26,000 window sticker still in place. I fixed the 1/4 panel and replaced the transmission and painted the whole car for under $6,000 with the car. the brakes and tires were replaced at 47,000 miles. 70,000 miles later and its still going strong. This car has everything, leather, dual zone climate, electric shocks, but no moonroof. It has the best seat support you can find. I wish they were heated and vibrated for my back. I get a solid 28+mpg and a this car is a stealthy blast to drive. It gobs up asphalt and curvy mountain roads with the best from Leipzig. I get the question often what is that?" This is one of Ed Welburn best designs. My wife has the truck.

  A Comfortable Reliable Sedan - 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Chris - March 4 - 2:06 am

  I bought this car with 125k miles, now at 140k. Overall it is comfortable, handles well for a car its size and has good power. The interior materials have held up well (especially the cloth and carpet) and the paint still looks great. When I first got the car,I upgraded the wheels and put on new tires. So far, they have hardly worn at all. I had a stalling problem in the first couple of months that turned out to be the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Right now the "abs" and "trac off" lights are on b/c I broke a brittle wire while trying to secure a speed sensor. I will be putting in new pads and rotors soon, as the brakes have begun to pulsate, but this is just regular maintenance.

  Still love it - 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By miranda - March 1 - 3:53 am

  I bought my Olds brand new in 2001 and have put over 107,000 miles on it. I absolutely love my car. It handles great in all weather, with relatively low maintenance. Ive put new tires and brakes on it but thats normal wear-and-tear for 107,000 miles. The duo heated-leather seats, moonroof and stability control are my "must-haves." I was doing a bit of looking around for a potential new car after I hit the 100,000 miles mark and cannot find anything close to my Olds for under $35,000. Last weekend I put 8 bags of mulch in the trunk with the door CLOSED. GM had a winner with the Intrigue but now is no more.

  Oldsmobile Intrigue - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By acheese2002 - February 28 - 7:03 pm

  I love the car but Im having a problem with the chrome plated rims leaking causing a headache. I got this from a Chrysler dealer with a warranty and am glad that I have it. It covered the oil pan leak and faulty the control arm. I never had it stall though. Its steering is very smooth. Once I find a solution to my leaking rims that doesnt cost $1,000 to fix I will be able to relax. Other than that, the gas mileage is poor. I dont know if its my car, but I use almost a 1/4 tank a day, driving less than 100 miles. I would go with a newer car but this is a great car for the price.

  Love this car and Oldsmobile - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By oldsmobile93 - February 23 - 8:17 pm

  This was my first car, it now has over 230,000 miles on it. I have no major problem with it. It runs like the day I got it. I recommend this car to everybody I know
