Take a look at the door gaskets on the Oldsmobile Intrigue and then look at the gaskets on this vehicle and you will understand why the Aurora creates an excessive amount of wind noise when driving at speeds over 55mph. Not only are they thin, but there is only one, instead of being doubled, like they are on the Intrigue. Poor quality of workmanship was evident thourghout the exterior and intrerior of this vechile.

Olds Aurora

This car is no more than an average Detroit Midsize. It does not have the legroom for a 6'3" man nor the peerformance of a 3 Liter Import yet it touts a 4.0 liter V-8 engine that just sits there and makes a lot of noise. It does not make a lot of gas mileage either 25MPG is the best I have been able to get.

An Excellent Value!

The Aurora rides very quietly, is well appointed with all of the controls thoughtfully located within easy reach of the driver. Our V-6 engine is not as powerful as the larger V8 but is more than adequate for highway driving. We found the standard sound system to be the best we have ever experienced- perhaps better than a home stereo system! With Oldsmobile incentives and rebates this car was a steal compared to the Cadillac/Lexus/Lincolns in its sticker price class and market. With Caddy rumored to pick up the Aurora line when Oldsmobile folds, this car should more than hold its own in value, performance, and longevity. We love it!

Going to Miss Olds

At age 37, this is my fourth Oldsmobile. There is nothing like the 4.0. It provides with power all the time, at any speed. The looks of the car are deceiving. I am always asked if is a Mercedes or Infiniti. It's a shame Olds is going away. This is a great car. Seats are big and roomy. Luxury features like real wood dash are hard to find in a car at this price. No car in this price range makes the noise it does when you step on it. I'd say, go get one, you an get a great deal on one. I do wish the fit was a little tighter. Squaks come out at the darndest times. I had that trouble with my Intrigue as well. So long OLDS, you will not be forgotten.
