  Runs grea - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By dgrif - January 27 - 10:00 am

  Have had car for over 2 yrs, and it runs just great. Had a battery go bad but that has been it for problems. Have driven the imports and I can say this is as good or better than them. Engine has alot of power, its smoothe and comfortable.

  I love this car! - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By definingme - January 16 - 8:35 pm

  I bought this car in July of 2012 with 123K miles on her. Its a huge upgrade from my previous cars. Shes an old V6, so naturally there are repairs, but she runs beautifully! I love the sound of the engine, and the feel! She is so easy to drive in the Midwestern snow/ice because shes much heavier than my previous cars. Since buying her, Ive put on another 10K miles, and I have no regrets! Shes reliable, sporty, comfortable, and by far the favorite car Ive owned thus far!

  Intrigue 3.8 6 cylinder - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Blondie - January 7 - 1:46 pm

  Still driving her after 7 yrs, I bought her with 33,000 miles and she is still running after 137,000. I give her regular oil changes, & normal wear & tear, brakes, rotors, & struts. When she reached 120,000 after her tune up she started to need a little more work done. In the past year Ive replaced the fuel filter, oil pan, battery, both (R)and(L) cv joints. Which I didnt need to replace. I had a clicking noise when I would turned (R) only, so after the 5 mechanic it ended up being my starter, the spring in the starter wasnt sitting right so every time I turned (R) it would hit the fly wheel. I just did my own brakes & rotors this time. So shes ready to go for another 100,000.

  good car, very good deal - 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By gc - January 3 - 10:00 am

  Represents my part in helping the economy (...) after the Sept 2001 attack. Bought used, as a program car, base GX + pref. option pkg (alloys, traction, pwr drv seat, AM/FM/cass/CD, 6 spkrs, leather wheel & shifter, a few other perks) for about 50% of MSRP (less than a Focus!), at 26K mi. I could have gotten an extra $400 off if not for particular circumstances when I purchased it. Nice and "easy" to drive, performance tires are a bit noisy at speed, reviews say 7.7s 0-60mph vs. 7.5s or so for Passat. Handling is good but not equal to performance sedans in its class

  Dont buy an Intrigue - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By blu_by_u - November 30 - 10:00 am

  This is our first new car. At around 40k miles it developed an oil consumption problem. Now it consumes 1qt in about 1200 miles. There is no oil on the garage floor and it doesnt somke. I personally change the oil and perform most maintenance. I have never seen a car burn out so many dash bulbs like this does. I hate the rock hard arm rests, my FORD F350 had FAR superior arm rests. Im 63" (not terribly tall) and my head rubs the ceiling of the car, I would hate to be any taller! The throttle valve has a problem of getting coated with gunk and making the pedal stick closed and the car leaps forward when you finally break the throttle loose.

  1999 Intrigue - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By robert kramer - November 25 - 5:53 pm

  The Oldsmobile Intrigue is a great driving car. I still like driving it. It looks like a bigger version of the Acura TL. It makes the TL look chincy to me. I am averaging 21-22 mpg. It does not burn oil. Why didnt GM promote this car? I have friends (Toyota owners) that are impressed when they are passengers and cant believe that an American (GM) car drives this well. If the new Impala SS is this good, I might buy one.

  A well made and trouble free car - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Lynn Rogers - November 10 - 10:00 am

  I purchased the car new in October of 2000. It has been a trouble free car since we bought it. Inside and outside I would not change anything regarding design and function of equipment. I compare it to my sons BMW 500 series station wagon in handling and quiet interior. The sound system is superb. It is sad to know they are discountinuing the Oldsmobile from the GM autos.

  My experience with the Olds Intrigue - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By redly1 - November 2 - 10:00 am

  THE GOOD: This car has excellent bang for the buck. Esp. the GX model, which can be had for pennies. Even as the base model, you get a plenty of options. Mine has a moonroof, keyless entry, power seat, and that beautiful 3.5L DOHC. This car was made for the interstate. Passing is not only acceptable, but enjoyable. The instrument panel is attractive and gives a good amount of vitals about the car. Seats are comfortable yet supportive. Handling is great THE BAD Fit and finish could have been better (crooked panels, interior and exterior) Brakes need to be replaced prematurely (damn GM accountants) minor annoying glitches like headlight flicker and intermittent power windows.

  Dont Walk, Run Away! - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Dissatisfied Owner - October 31 - 11:46 pm

  This car is a bad idea. We should have known better when it needed new power window motors before we drove off the used car lot. Flasher problems (turn signals work when they want)this is a problem for most year Intrigues; power window failure all around recently and got me robbed at Walmart due to a falling rear window; problems with cracks in original coolant tanks; a/c controls - cools when it wants and my blower on any setting below high went out; suspension probs; harmonic balancer flew off engine; general electrical garbage (ie: shorted out a few phone chargers along with fuses); cheap quality parts on interior such as moulding around floor. I could go on. Im lucky Dad is a mechanic.
