Exceeded my expectations

At 120,000 miles, this car has exceeded my expectations. It's comfortable, smooth, and versatile. I have had very few problems (brakes and alternators). I drive mainly the highway and the car has always been smooth and quiet. I am surprised at how pleased the 1998 owners are vs. the 2001 owners. Why? Seems like 1998 owners should be experiencing more problems, but they reviews do not reflect that.

I bought it when car had 61k, and these are the problems that i had. air conditioning stoped working...dealer found leaks.so i dont have a/c now. Plastic coolant reservour cracked. Replaced for $12. Bass/treble knob broke , then balance/fade knob gave up too.Since i bought a car i can feel some noise and vibration when turning and braking at the same time. Not fixed yet. Power steering is very loud. Makes the car vibrate when turning wheels while standing. Right rear power window broke..Replaced with jankyard part for $75. Thats what i had so far...Not that bad or good. Dont think its a great car , and dont think its a bad car...Its just a car.

I'm an 18 year-old teenager who drives alot. Olds are usually for older people and that is what I thought until I drove it. It has great sound, power, handling, and is a good car.

Bought car used, 36K in 2001, one owner, clearly had kids, excellent condition. Car has good pickup off the line and will move fairly well when gassed in the 60-75 mph range. When going about 25-30 mph, you step on the gas and either the car mildly accelerates or takes off, full throttle, no in between. Stock sound system is fair. Plenty of trunk room but a small opening to get anything in there. Air conditioner electrics broke after a couple of months, cost $2000 to fix at dealer, thank you to extended warranties... Cheap plastic parts on radio. Relatively rough ride. Roomy interior for 5 mid sized adults.

My Intrigue now has 132,000 miles on it and it is running perfectly. Dont have any problems with it and it handles well on the road. The drive is smooth and has plenty of low end power.
