  Perfect Family Car - 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Jsemanko - September 7 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car for a while put about 12000 miles on it so far. The oil life monitoring is a great money saver. The car gets good mileage for being as large as it is. My mother has an Aurora and it is tiny compared to my roomy Intrigue. I havent experienced any road noise that would be considered excesive. This car is way quieter than the honda I used to have. The PCS works great, especially in snow, its definetly worth gettin.

  Intrigue is a great car - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By dindak - September 2 - 4:16 am

  This is one of the biggest sleepers in mid-size sedan history. Unfortunately Oldsmobile did not promote this car properly and the Oldsmobile line will disappear in a few years. Intrigue is a wonderful sports sedan with handling, power and braking that top most cars in this class. This is the last year for Intrigue and the deals should be excellent for someone looking for something a little different.

  Nice - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By CTG - August 26 - 2:00 am

  I bought a 98 Intrigue for my wife and liked it so much, I bought a 99 Intrigue GL for myself. Both cars have been performing flawlessly. Smooth shifting, responsive steering, and fun to drive.

  Great Car But Problematic - 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By DHillery - August 10 - 10:00 am

  This car is a joy to drive and will get looks. Sad to see it go -the Grand Prix doesnt compare to the interior styling. GLS only (leather heated seats, On-star). Lots of electrical problems. In for repairs 9 times in 3 years - all electrical. Would only get again w/ extendend warranty.

  5+ years with a 98 Intrigue - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By dekindy - July 4 - 10:00 am

  Car had drive shaft clunking noise, was replaced but would still intermittently clunk for no reason and occasionally would get a dramatic pull when backing down the driveway. Engine gaskets leaked. 44k, 56k, and 70k. GM paid half the cost for first two repairs. Car also had electrical short and all the dash lights would flash and gauges would jump occasionally.

  Good Design but Poor Worksmanship - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By rpharasty - June 8 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle has an attractive design and smooth running engine. Reliability however has been poor. Steering and Alignment problems have never been properly fixed by dealership. It sqeaks and rattles over uneven pavement and does not feel very solid. A/C compressor has just failed. Poor trunk design causes water to pour into trunk when opened during or after rain. Oil filter cartridge very difficult to change yourself and hard to find. Depreciation is very STEEP!

  Overall a good car - 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By navyfire - May 15 - 9:33 pm

  I owned this car for 2 years and was very pleased with it. I bought it with 60k and it was mostly trouble free except for a few minor problems: The check engine light came on shortly after I bought it, a check indicated a problem with the "secondary air injection system." The front suspension developed a loose feeling and vibrated a lot during braking. The ignition developed an issue where it wouldnt read the security code for the key and disable the engine. This was the most irritating problem the car had and often left me stranded. Overall, after 98k was put on it, I would definitely buy another.

  My Second Intrigue - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Bill Knox - May 3 - 10:00 am

  I just took delivery of a 2002 Intrigue, my second GL and a replacement for my 1999, which I drove for about 33,000 miles. Simply put, I just could not turn down the incentives. GM is making a major mistake in not continuing this car, even in another guise (e.g., Buick or Pontiac). Improvements include more precise steering and an improved sound system, as well as a blessedly silent horn when using the remote locking system. Handling seems a tad softer, however,and the car seems to reach its side loading limits rather abruptly in sweeping turns. Gas mileage is about the same (mediocre), but the engine still provides plenty of grunt when asked, perhaps my favorite feature.

  Best Car for the money - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By carguy140 - May 2 - 6:25 pm

  Hello, I have sat here for a while and read all of the reviews on this site. I am at a crossroads with my intrigue. This car has by far been the best investment I have made in a vehicle. I purchased my intrigue as a lease turn in at 31,000 miles back in 2003. What really caught my eye about this car was the mix of styling and handling.Well I am happy to say I have had a very good experience. My intrigue today has 188k miles, other then 2 wheel bearings, 1 at 110k, 1 at 133k on other side, and 2 window motors this has been reliable and still runs great! MAINTAINANCE is key to any vehicle, change your fluids and these cars go a long time. My crossroads is what to buy now as great as this was?
