Aurora 3.5
This is the most reliable vehicle I have owned and I have owned or leased over 10 vehicles. The power and handling ability are exceptional and the lumbar support and power seats make this a most comfortable car to drive. Oldsmobile has truly created a fine luxury vehicle beating the former European luxury car I owned before with its comfort, handling, and power. Too bad GM is discontinuing Oldsmobile. They should place the Aurora into the Buick line as its luxury sport vehicle.
GM strikes again!!
This is a comfortable and stylish car. Has poor fit and finish...many rattles,water leaks into floorboard,brakes warped,front end vibration,exterior trim loose,major electrical problems that have still not been fixed despite a total of 25 days in the shop on 4 occasions,steering wheel pops when turned,new alternator,and on it goes. Since they can't fix the major electrical problems, and for all the other trouble I have had, GM sent me a "good will certificate" good for $1500 dollars off my next purchase.BIG DEAL. Stay from these cars, unless you have an extended warranty, and lots of time to camp out at the dealer for repairs.
Gutsy V8 with Gadgets
The Aurora 4.0 is a distinctive automobile with creature comforts and plenty of power. It sports a number of techno-features including a low tire pressure alarm. The car is sure-footed and able to operatew with any grade of unleaded gasoline, although 93 octane provides the most punch. My most negative impression is from the stock Michellin tires: they're a strange size and the warranty proved to be worthless.
My Olds
Overall rating is "Very Good". The only problem was the Computer Control Center, and this was handled under the warrentee at 45,000 miles. City mileage is OK at 18.5 mpg and 24 on the highway. The car is very comfortable and handles well.
Shining Star from GM-Almost
Who needs a V8 when the 3.5L V6 delivers smooth powerful acceleration and good fuel economy? Plus you stand out from the crowd since there aren"t that many around.
