Sophisticated power plant, sumptuous interior, comfortable ride.
Cons
Poor resale value, build quality not quite up to that of the competition.
What’s new
The V6 has been dropped in the final year of production making the Aurora one of the few V8-only sedans on the market. Two new exterior colors -- Bordeaux Red and Steel Blue -- have also been added for the Aurora's going-away party.
Edmunds says
The best soon-to-be-discontinued sedan on the market.

2003 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 4A)
Why shoud GM sell Auroas when people will by the same car for $15,000 more just to have a Cadillac wreath on it. I love my Aurora. It get's great milage and has a smooth and powerful V8 engine. It's quiet, fun to drive, and completly trouble free. It is GM's best kept secret.

2003 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 4A)
Had this baby since 2007--still going strong with 79,000 miles! Tune-ups and oil changes have been regular--no major repairs to speak of. Great car-great styling and great performance! I only wish they still made the Aurora :( I can only imagine what a 2018 would look like!!!
I'm very happy with my Aurora!

2002 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I've owned my Olds for 3 years and I have to say it's the best car I've ever had! It's very comfortable to drive, especially on 3 day road trips. I get 33mpg (highway driving). Amazing what high octane fuel and K&N air filters can do for mileage and passing power! It's very safe/stable driving on highways or in the city in all whether conditions be it be rain, ice or blizzard. I can't … even tell the roads are bad it handles so well! Here in Canada we have extreme road conditions and I have no problem passing other cars/trucks (good or poor road conditions). There has been no work done to the car except regular maintenance. No breakdowns or problems. Car has 77,400 miles on it so far.
Why buy an import

2003 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 4A)
This car has been absolutely reliable.
Not one penny in two years/30,000
miles. The styling is unique and
attractive. The fact that there are
few of them on the road makes it a much
more distinctive look and a head
turner. The leather interior and the
seating make it extraordinarily
comfortable to drive. The Bose sound
system is as good or better than any
other … factory-installed system that
I've heard.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora, so we've included reviews for other years of the Aurora since its last redesign.
