Used 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
2001 3.5 Not So Lucky
Acquired the 2001 3.5 in Feb 2003 w/ 19K mi. The car now has 30K mi. on it. Since purchase, replaced the steering column, the pwr steering pump, the ignition switch (the car would literally just stop running on the highway while doing 70 mph), and as of 09/29/03, the transmission is gone!. Also - the driver door squeak were one's left leg rests against the speaker (in case you think the noise is coming from your seat). Needless to say, kind of a bum experience. I owned a '98 Aurora w/ 100K on it and traded it in on this - the '98 never had an issue - guess I made a bad call...
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.

Sporty
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.
Luxury at its best
I Love this car but it has some problems. I just bought it a few months ago and already have the check engine light come on. I have had to replace the drivers door module ($88) and had to replace two bulbs. If the comfort features weren't so great I would be very upset with my purchase. I hope this car lasts until I can pay it off.
Aurora 3.5
I just purchased a 2001 Aurora 3.5. It's a gorgeous full-size sedan that has the styling of a mid-size car. It's a fully loaded luxury-sport sedan in silver metallic. The previous owner had the windows tinted, so it looks even sportier. I get compliments on it constantly. It's very well equipped, comfortable for long trips, and very satisfying. Being a front-driver tuned for comfort, it's not a "canyon carver", but has good acceleration and decent handling.
