  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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)!

  A decent car if you buy a cheap used one - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By someone behind you - June 5 - 2:00 am

  Could have been a great car if Oldsmobile would have stayed around. Steering is sort of strange, I feel pulses when I turn, it is not very smooth. Dont know if this a problem with all of them. Power and fuel econ. are very good for its size. Seats on the GX are uncomfortable. Transmission is not the greatest, hesitates when you accelerate at higher speeds, like its hunting for gears.

  I bought mine brand new and have not had any problems. You just have to take care of your car.

  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.

  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.

  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.
