  Great Car - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Michael Copper - February 17 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my olds since it was new. The only thing I would change design wise would be the windshield wipers. The passenger side does not hide. This is a great car and fun to drive. I get 29mpg on freeway and 25 around town. The only problems I have had, are some rear brake noise, not bad though and the passenger door sticks, making it hard to open. I havehad no mechanical problems. I love the handling, stereo, heated comfortable seats, and design. I would buy another if they made it.

  A definite risk - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Ursa Major - January 17 - 10:00 am

  The good: I love this car when it works. I love the styling, the low, aggressive stance and the powerful engine. The bad: I was lured by the strength of the engine. Hovever, this car has been more problematic I would ever have guessed. It hasnt gone a 6- month period without a major repair. It has been in the shop for 16 days and I have spent $3200 on maintenance alone in the last 20 months. Many parts are unique to the Intrigue and quite expensive when they break. Judging from what others review, you can have the best car in the world or a real lemon. Either way, your resale value will be rock bottom. I wont risk it ever again.

  Long lasting car and still looks good. - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Mark Glanemann - January 8 - 10:06 am

  I bought this car new. The first month I had it the transmission messed up but a new one was put in. Factory defect. 160,000 miles later the tranny went out. Just had a new one put in and shifts like when I first bought it. That is the only major problem I had but that is normal wear and tear. I bought the car when I was 21 so of course I drove like a fool and beat it up a little. But 9 years later I still have the car and it runs great. It does burn some oil if I go on long trips. I think I can make this car last 200k+ and from other reviews it looks like these cars can last that longer then that and then some. Have some rust forming on the bottom doors, but can live with that.

  Worst Car Ever - 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Annoyed Customer - January 1 - 10:10 pm

  This is the worst car ever made! This is my first vehicle, and everything that could go wrong with a car has gone wrong with this one. I bought it and then 3 months later had to replace the engine. 3 months after that had to replace the struts, which by the way cost almost 300 each! Now all the lights are on, on the dash. The signals do not work anymore. And the car started randomly shutting off while you are driving! Most of the time you try to start it and it acts like it has a dead battery. And I have never seen rust problems like this before! This is the worst car ever, will never never never buy a intrigue ever again! Stay away from these cars!

  Crack made car - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By GA - December 28 - 7:06 am

  This vehicle is a signature of GMs failure to create reliable and economical vehicles. Heres a list of repairs done through out my 10 yr ownership: all PWR windows, climate control, blower motor resistor, instrument panel, steering system, A/C compressor, cracked ac vents, wheel bearings, coil packs, crank sensor, cam sensor, oil seals, engine, transmission(2x), lower control arms, valve cover seals, EGR sensor, coolant reservoir, starter (x2)!

  Dont Be Fooled - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Fandor - December 7 - 8:20 am

  I have owned my iIntrigue since 2001. In 2003 had to have the motor replaced due to some annomoly that was known by GM about the balancer rod in the block. 2008 had to replace the engine again. 2 months after replacing engine, had to replace the transmission. Have had to replace every power window unit in the car and getting ready to replace another one. In cold weather the power fluctuates up and down causing the lights to dim. Heater fan does not work correctly. Power steering has failed, and that is no fun to replace. Two oxygen sensors. This car is the reason that foreign cars are selling so well in America.

  Olds Intrigue - 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Narby - November 23 - 9:43 am

  My 2001 Intrigue is the finest car Ive ever owned. It just turned 150,000 miles and is still going strong. The only repairs Ive had to pay for are an alternator and a brake job. I would have preferred that GM drop Buick rather than Oldsmobile.

  One of the Best Cars I Have Owned! - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By mother48433 - November 19 - 4:20 am

  This car gets good gas mileage and responds quickly when accelerating, which makes it fun to drive. It has never failed to start and is very dependable.

  Great car - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Richard - November 16 - 5:30 pm

  I am original owner and after 154000 miles I still love this car. It is the earlier model with the 3800 seriesII V6- a great engine and no transmission problems. In fact no major maintaince expense- just what one might expect. Starter, intake manifold, plug wires and hoses. I hope to get another 150000 miles. I recently slowed down to the speed limit on highway and got 32/33 mpg against the original advertized 30mpg.
