I am really enjoying my Aurora. I have only had it a few months but it is really fun to drive. Love the heated seats in the winter :) The only complaint that I have is the rattle in the dash and passenger doors.
Aurora is a winner

Purchased the 2001 Aurora to replace my 185K mile Intrigue that I gave my college grad son. This Aurora has the exact same reliable, well performing power train. This car is VERY comfortable, quiet and loaded with features that are now showing up on 2008 models. Great gas mileage for a luxury car (28 on highway). Trouble free. One small air pump valve failed, simple replacement done myself with genuine GM parts from on-line supplier. My ex-Toyota co-worker was very impressed with how quiet and tight the car was after 65K miles. This car feels like brand new at 7 yrs old. Best car I have owned.
Adios GM

Saying goodbye to GM after four Oldsmobiles and five years with the Aurora. A beauty. Loved it on the highway, stable, responsive, and extremely comfortable. Body and paint stayed in great condition, but way too much time in shop for repeated steering, water pump, transmission and other problems. Interior bulbs blew at regular intervals, spent half of ownership with 'check engine' light on. First name basis with all of dealer's service personnel. Greatly enjoyed the car despite the problems and will miss the design, but after thirty years of 'buying American,' have had enough of GM's hit or miss reliability.
No Luck

I traded my '98 Aurora for the '01 model. In the last 10 months, the following replacements (all under warranty) - Steering column, power steering pump, ignition switch, ABS control module, transmission overhaul, and as of this weekend, the alternator. Mind you, this car has under 31K miles... I think I got the car built on Monday morning!
Fun car, but many problems

This car is still fun to drive 3 years after I bought it. It gets looks quite often as it is almost one of a kind in my town. I actually seen another black one on the highway and the couple in that car waved in suprise. On the other hand, the reliability of this car has been awful. I bought it with 26,000 miles. I've had the water pump, secondary air pump, front end parts, stearing parts, and at 74,600 miles, right before the warranty expired, the transmission went out. The car has not been the same since. It shifts hard around 40 mph and the dealerships have tried to fix it, but have not succeded. I think it has to do with the O.D. Besides the expensive repairs, this is a great car.
I LOVE this car!

This must be the last best built American car made! Sorry they decided to stop making them! GM has not been on the mark with it lately. I take this big boy down to Florida from NY and have all the comfort and 27 mpg! We have had the car for 2 years with no problems and this was a rental car at one time. Sorry to hear that some have had issues but there`s always a lemon!
Perfect all around!

This car is great. Beautiful engine with an alluring purr. The exterior is clean and attractive and a little bit mysterious. The interior is as attractive as they come, especially for the price. Plenty of luxury features like 12-way seats, rain-sensing wipers, stability control, and a smooth, sonorous V8. The Indy Racing League heritage is something to be proud of too. 49 wins in 51 races over 5 years.

This car is great, but I guess all good things must eventually come to an end. Shame on you General Motors for discontinuing Oldsmobile and for failing to transfer the Aurora to another line, such as Buick. You have alienated this lifelong GM customer. Hellooooooo Lexus!
Best Olds Yet! Too Bad Its the Last!

This is the second Aurora for us. This one is the best Olds we have had. It is also the best car we have had in over 40 years of buying. Not a single warranty claim.
