One of GMs Best
Bought this car new for my wife. After 7 years it still looks better than most GM cars on the road and handles like a sports car. We chose it over a Grand Prix (better interior) or a Regal (better handling/ride). Only consistent problem has been clogged fuel injectors which required periodic cleaning. If Oldsmobile had made more like this one, they might still be in business. About to trade in on a Buick LaCrosse and we hope it's as reliable.
BYE - Intrique
This was my first and Unfortunately my last Olds. I can not say enough about this automobile... No troubles, great to drive, great engine:):)..
Best Car I've Ever Owned
Other than routine maintance, my Oldsmobile Intrigue has been a champ through long trips and city stop and go driving. I had back surgery and this is the most comfortable car that I have ever sat in. The power is incredible for this style car and with the airbag system I feel safe. The sound system is awesome, it has the OEM sound I've heard - and I'm a sound man and electrician. My son is comfortable and safe in this car and that makes the differnce. It also has trunk space for many long trips. It saddens me that GM decided to stop the Oldsmobile line because if they came out with a new Intrigue I would buy it. Mine now has nearly 130,000 miles on it, but I'm sure she has a lot of miles left.
5+ years with a 98 Intrigue
Car had drive shaft clunking noise, was replaced but would still intermittently clunk for no reason and occasionally would get a dramatic pull when backing down the driveway. Engine gaskets leaked. 44k, 56k, and 70k. GM paid half the cost for first two repairs. Car also had electrical short and all the dash lights would flash and gauges would jump occasionally.
Intrigue Evaluation
The engine has good power; quick acceleration. The supension system is not of good quality; rough ride. Like styling. Interested in later models for inprovement in more comfortable ride.
