I bought this car new and it has been the best car I've ever owned. At 112,000 miles, this car has been in the shop TWICE. As far as bad reviews...These cars last a long time...if you see any bad reports on them, they've probably been abused. Every car has some bad reviews from people who just don't know how to take car of cars. I would recommend this car to anyone!!

Since last review (12 months ago) my Aurora has had no mechanical problems. I switched to synthetic oil, now at 136,000+ miles, and the engine is still tight and the transmission is still solid. Other that the damage done by hitting a cement block on the interstate (at 80 mph!) there have been no problems with this car. After 12 years of use, the black leather interior is still gorgeous and this car is a true power machine, very fast and still a great looking car. I normally keep my used vehicles for 4 years and dump them, but this is a keeper! This is the fifth Olds that I have had in my life and it is by far the best. Sorry, GM messed up when it killed the Olds division. Planned maintenance over the next year is replacement of struts and ball joint tie ends.
Great Car

This is the best car I have ever owned. I have not driven it much as I always have two to three other vehicles. the gas mileage is not bad at 20 mpg routine and 28 mpg on the road. The worst mechanical problem it has had was a master cylinder failure at around 50,000 miles. I am now at 80,000 and have replaced tires once and the battery once. I will probably replace tires and drive it until someone runs into me.
Frustrating and disappointing

This is a beautiful car with fine features, but the quality of the car is disappointing indeed. Power is abundant, but braking and handling are poor, while I rarely achieve better than 15 miles-per-gallon fuel economy! I've put almost $10,000 worth of repair and tune-up into this car since acquiring it two years ago, including a failed transmission; I am not at all optimistic that such costs will diminish in future. The total uselessness of the cup-holders serves as a metaphor for this car altogether -- a fairly impotent gesture by an American manufacturer to prove it can compete with German and Japanese luxury- sport models.
