1998 Olds Aurora
Averaging 22 mpg. Only two minor mechanical repairs; front brake calipers $400 and drivers door handle $200. Both right after 50,000 mile warranty expiration.
Best domestic car of its year
I love this car. It looks great, handles nicely, is eminently comfortable and some of the features are very thoughful (like a passenger mirror that rotates down to look at the curb when placed in reverse - for parallel parking). My AC compressor failed, but other than that, no mechanical issues. GM killed the wrong make. I have a Buick too - the Olds is dramatically better.
Very Reliable
Only problem so far been a broken drivers side door handle, and it can be a little difficult to fill at the gas pump. Other then that it was a very sweet ride. The New 2001+ Aurora's look like an Intrigue, a big mistake by olds.
Love the A-ROAR-A
Bought this car off of EBay after research many 4 door sedans. My wife said I had to get a 4 door, so I decided to get a fun one, and this car has been great. While not quite a BMW, it certainly is price MUCH less than other sports sedans. Too bad GM did have the good marketing to keep Olds around. On the highway I have not had a better car and it is effortless to drive while stuck in traffic.
Unbelievable value
Love this car, dynamite ride. the faster you take her the better ride she gives you. I picked it up used, with the manufactures warrantee, what an unbelievable value
