Oldsmobile should have tried harder
The Aurora was built to save Olds. They should have done a better job because they had the right idea with this car, but the reliability just isn't there. I bought it in 2006 with only 27k miles. It looks spectacular, it drives smoothly and handles great. However, don't buy this car without a warranty. I love Olds, but I still can't get over the leaking radiator fluid, bad window motor, and faulty EBCM, which lights up your instrument panel like a Christmas tree with all the warnings. It will prevent you from passing a safety inspection. Oh and forget about getting any navigation CD updates. They stopped making them.
What a bargain
I bought mine as a used car and got a fantastic deal. I knew the car was underrated, but it is much better than expected. It has a real luxury car feel with solid performance. My wife considers it the equal of her Lexus ES. The understated but elegant styling, attractive and classy interior, comfort and multitude of features get many compliments. As a long distance all weather cruiser, it is hard to beat.

Aurora Doing Fine
Bought car new about 15 months ago. To eventually replace a 1997 Concorde for a fairly long freeway commute to work. The 3.5 engine fine for stop and go traffic, but does not have alot of passing power ( the Concorde with a 3.5 engine has a lot more punch, even after 90,000 miles ). The interior is nice and leather seats great. The car has a very stable ride and handles fine. The chrome wheels add alot to the exterior look. Have received alot of compliments on the car, which is surprising in Newport Beach which has the largest Mercedes Benz dealer in the US. Mileage not great but okay. Runs fine with regular gas.
Reliable Comfortable
Extremely comfortable front seats. Smooth highway car and handles better than most other cars this size.
