Great American Gem
My car has 92,000 miles on it and I have not had to make one repair, except for oil changes, one set of brakes and tires, this car has not cost me a dime. Gas milege is very reasonable. I drive 70 miles a day and average around 24 miles to the gallon. With my 70 mile round trip commute, I have found the seating very comfortable. I have found an American gem. This car provides all of the features, look, handling and functionality I could ask for in a car. With ample space for a family of 5, I doubt a Japanese car in its class could compare!!
113K and still going strong
I bought the Intrigue used in Aug 1999 with 26,000 miles. It now has a few miles shy of 113,000 miles in March 2003. Aside from a freak occurrence, belt tensioner seizure at around 90k miles, it has been perfect. It is confident in rain and snow, and of course it handles superbly on a sunny day - much better than the Grand Prix GTP, which I have test driven prior to deciding on the Intrigue. It's such a pleasure to drive, I often take the long way home. Occasional passengers often mistake my Intrigue for a European or Japanese import and are surpised when I tell them it's an Oldsmobile.
Nice car, sorry to see Olds stop product
My wife and I bought the car new in Oct 98 and have 61000 miles on it. I am sorry to see them no longer making Oldsmobile. I never wanted an Oldsmobile product because they were always so old looking (elderly peeps car). The intrigue has been great for us and we are a family of four. We have had the car 5 years with no problems but standard maintenance. The dash heats up if you drive a lot at night from the lighting but other than that no problems at all.
Good car, just short of great
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.
Very Pleased
The Intrique goes very smoothly down the road. Very quiet, Very reliable.I really like the sporty look the car has. I have had alot of compliments on it.
