  • Oldsmobile Intrigue - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue

    I bought my Oldsmobile Intrigue new and have been delighted ever since. I have not had to make any repairs to it outside of normal wear and tear. It has outstanding handling and good braking. It gets good gas mileage. Unfortunately, the seats can get a little uncomfortable over long trips. Also, I have experienced some annoying trim problems. Still, I was sorry to see the Oldsmobile brand eliminated.

  • 113K and still going strong - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
    By -

    I bought the Intrigue used in Aug 1999 with 26,000 miles. It now has a few miles shy of 113,000 miles in March 2003. Aside from a freak occurrence, belt tensioner seizure at around 90k miles, it has been perfect. It is confident in rain and snow, and of course it handles superbly on a sunny day - much better than the Grand Prix GTP, which I have test driven prior to deciding on the Intrigue. Its such a pleasure to drive, I often take the long way home. Occasional passengers often mistake my Intrigue for a European or Japanese import and are surpised when I tell them its an Oldsmobile.

    This was my first car, it now has over 230,000 miles on it. I have no major problem with it. It runs like the day I got it. I recommend this car to everybody I know

  • Great car - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
    By -

    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.

    I bought it when car had 61k, and these are the problems that i had. air conditioning stoped working...dealer found leaks.so i dont have a/c now. Plastic coolant reservour cracked. Replaced for $12. Bass/treble knob broke , then balance/fade knob gave up too.Since i bought a car i can feel some noise and vibration when turning and braking at the same time. Not fixed yet. Power steering is very loud. Makes the car vibrate when turning wheels while standing. Right rear power window broke..Replaced with jankyard part for $75. Thats what i had so far...Not that bad or good. Dont think its a great car , and dont think its a bad car...Its just a car.

  • Great Little Car - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
    By -

    We bought my car with 67000 miles and weve only had a couple minor problems that would occurr with normal wear and tear like a new accesory belt ect. Its fun to drive and still really practical. Drives like a tank in the snow. 4 inches plus havnt stopped me a bit.

  • Dependable and great mileage - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
    By -

    I bought my Intrigue with 42,000 miles on it and its been great. It was a rental car at one point based on the Carfax report. I just hit 103,000 miles with no significant issues. All it has needed is new tires, new brakes and a serpentine belt. The car is bullet proof! I keep track of mileage and I got 28 MPG in my last fillup in mixed city/hwy driving. The cars handling is still top notch with over 100,000 miles on the odometer. I originally bought the car after renting various Intrigues for work. The handling was what impressed me at first.

  • Its a Great Old Man Car - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
    By -

    I purchased this car with 155,000 miles on it. It is a rather large car, but it gets excellent gas mileage. I averaged low 20s in the city and high 20s on the highway. I mainly used it for winter, cause its fwd and with snow tires I managed to go everywhere. I replaced the rotors at 164,000 miles. It needed new belt a little while after that at 189,000 miles. The intake manifold went and it cost $1,500 for new engine, but considering the miles, I sold it to my mechanic. I see that hes been driving it around, so it must be doing good.
