  Great Ride but the Brakes are Awful - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Jim Keith - July 17 - 6:43 pm

  I have had this car for three years now and I can honestly say that I really like to drive it. I have a bad back, and even with that, I can make 600 miles in a day. This is one comfortable car and its fuel mileage is 29 to 31 mpg on the road, and that makes me smile a lot. What I dont like is the two break jobs that I have needed in the past year. Also, the cheap turn signal light sockets that should be about $0.69 to replace and cost $30.00 at the dealer. And before I forget, the rattling steering column.

  237,500 miles and its a great ride. I bought it as program car with 22K on it and have driven it all over the USA. Trading it in on a new program car! Great ride, pickup and handling, STILL!

  Money well spent! - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By MJJ - June 11 - 2:20 am

  Originally was going to order my car but found the exact car, feature for feature, at one of the local dealerships. This has been an exceptional car. Well made, great performance and handling, quiet and best of all, plenty of room for someone 62", like myself. Bose 8 speaker stereo is fantastic and theres nothing like turning on the heated seats on a cold morning. Interstate driving will give you 27-28 MPG. Local driving will give you around 20 MPG. As of 5/2009, only major repair has been the sway bar. Minor repairs have been the plastic clips that support the power windows.

  This car saved my life. Involved in major, head-on collision with Toyota Tercel @ 55 mph - front intrusion mostly on drivers side. Both front airbags deployed properly. Two kids in back in carseats-3yo with seat belt bruises, 18mo with minor seat belt marks. Driver-minor injuries.

  Good Car, Bad Quality - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By unreliable2000 - February 6 - 8:43 pm

  Would have been an excellent car if reliability and build quality were better. I had it for 3 years and only put 24,000 miles on it. Here is what had to be replaced: rack and pinion steering, cv-joints, thermostat, horn, cd player, and alternator. Not normal for a 24,000 mile car. I also had probems with an erratic check engine light. The car was comfortable and rode well, and the performance was good. Performance would have been excellent if it had a 5 speed auto or 6 speed manual. Traction was also very poor in the snow. Interior was of modern Japanese design, but the plastics quality was 1970s American. I was going to keep the car after the lease was turned it in after all the trouble.

  Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By gudnason100 - September 9 - 4:34 am

  I bought my Intrigue in 2003 off lease with 60000Km (36000 mi) it now has 306,000 km and still running great. Everything still works power windows, sun roof, heated seats, power seat and leather seats still good. Rebuilt transmission last year which only cost me $2200, fuel sensor problem is caused by additive in certain gas. Use Shell and you will never have an issue. Replaced flywheel about 5 years ago with a used one. Lots of available used parts from wrecking yards which keep the cost of repair down because GM does not product a lot of parts for the Olds anymore. Northstar engine is still very strong, no rust although I do undercoat it annually.

  By joeinseattle - September 8 - 10:00 am

  Bought car at 15000: now have 41000. car is much better than Olds dealers. Had dealer network been more customer oriented GM might still be making Olds.

  Fantastic Car - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By MBarthol - July 7 - 9:40 am

  I cant begin to tell you how great this car is. My father bought it new back in 2000 and gave it to me in 2007 with 172,000 miles on it when he bought a new car. Since then, Ive put 25,000 miles on it and enjoyed each and every one. Its a great car that has lasted to 197,000 miles so far, and our mechanic says it could go another 100,000 with the shape the engine is in. The engine has never had any work done to it either! Unfortunately, he only expects the transmission to last another 20,000, but I think its pretty great to get 220,000 miles out of a transmission.
