Review of the 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue

  • Oldsmobile's Intrigue was one of GM's most promising products when it was released in 1998, but quality stumbling blocks and a muddled brand identity helped to quash sales hopes. This is a decent midsize sedan, and as this once proud marque's days fade into twilight, good deals on Intrigues ought to be readily available.

  • Safety

  • Pros

    Cleanly styled inside and out, available stability control, good-sized trunk.

  • Cons

    Poorly constructed and creaky, rear seat room tight for adults, unproven reliability record.

  • What's New for 2001

    The Intrigue receives only minor changes for 2001, including two new exterior colors and a standard air filtration system. The OnStar driver assistance system is now standard on GLS models while Precision Control System equipped models receive exterior "PCS" badging.

2001 olds intrigue gls.. weathered

by on
Vehicle: 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

With all the features I got for a decent price from the previous owner, I would say that value-wise, this car is great, but it's definitely starting to lose its steam. It's only got 144K miles on it, but it acts like it's got many more, even though it's got the original hardy engine that performs well. Maybe it's just because it's over ten years old and I never saw it in its heydey, or maybe I picked the wrong one, but I just can't seem to fall in love with this car. It is decent for the most part.

A comfortable reliable sedan

by on
Vehicle: 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue GX 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I bought this car with 125k miles, now at 140k. Overall it is comfortable, handles well for a car its size and has good power. The interior materials have held up well (especially the cloth and carpet) and the paint still looks great. When I first got the car,I upgraded the wheels and put on new tires. So far, they have hardly worn at all. I had a stalling problem in the first couple of months that turned out to be the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Right now the "abs" and "trac off" lights are on b/c I broke a brittle wire while trying to secure a speed sensor. I will be putting in new pads and rotors soon, as the brakes have begun to pulsate, but this is just regular maintenance.

Worst car ever

by on
Vehicle: 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

This is the worst car ever made! This is my first vehicle, and everything that could go wrong with a car has gone wrong with this one. I bought it and then 3 months later had to replace the engine. 3 months after that had to replace the struts, which by the way cost almost 300 each! Now all the lights are on, on the dash. The signals do not work anymore. And the car started randomly shutting off while you are driving! Most of the time you try to start it and it acts like it has a dead battery. And I have never seen rust problems like this before! This is the worst car ever, will never never never buy a intrigue ever again! Stay away from these cars!



Better equipped than more expensive

Vehicle: 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Nobody can beat the heated 6-way power front seats, chrome wheels. This car was smart looking & very reliable.



Great car! no problems

by on
Vehicle: 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue GX 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

This has been a great car. I purchased it when it was about a year and a half old with 28,000 miles on it. It now has 178,800 miles and has given me zero problems. Great gas mileage and smooth ride. I have only replaced the brakes once and that was about a month ago.
