An Oxymoron in Car Form
The "Intrigue" is the most inconspicuous car ever made, especially in dark green like mine. The car is decent and I like it quite a lot, the resale value is horrible, but I bought it used (no option for a new now, is there?) so that's okay.
1999 Olds Intrigue GLS
This car has a supberb powertrain and good looks, but the cheap interior limits my overall satisfaction. After 3 years I'm still very pleased with the power and handling. This car handles like a small car with all the comforts of a big car. Overall reliability has been solid - no mechanical problems yet. The interior feels cheap - even compared to my Sable (which is hardly top of the line). The windows aren't tinted enough. I often get uncomfortably hot sun on the back of my neck. The sun visor isn't long enough to completely block the sun (I noticed GM has now fixed this problem.) Typical of every American car I've owned, this one became very noisy (wind noise) after 6 months.

best car wish oldsmobile wouldnt go
My Intrigue is the best car ever. My car before this was a 1990 Honda Civic which had 188,956 miles on it.its amazing how they run alike to say their under two different companies. My inrigue has 132,000 miles on it and still rides new like it was just bought. The only problem I've had was the passenger side rear window got stuck. This was easy to get fixed. I really love my car oh yeah and don't even get me started on the Bose CD and cassette stereo system sounds better than my house stereo which is also a Bose system.
Great Mechanically - Fair Build Quality
Car has been decent. Always starts. Runs smooth. Great engine and transmission. No major fixes out of warranty (almost 20,000 miles ago). Leather is a little below par, and dashboard is a little separated from one vent. I am satisified with purchase. Dealer was terrible, terrible, terrible. Stay away from Rohrman dealerships is Chicago.
GM is Intriguing
I bought the car used, it was a rental. It seemed fine at the time (still some warranty left - thank goodness!). A week after purchase a rear power window quit. After a couple months of driving we noticed that on rainy cool nights the inside of the winshield would fog up horribly and the defogger would not clear it very quickly. Fearing a leaking heater core, I took it in but was told it was the control head. Still has the problem to some extent. Other than that it drives nicely and we've had no other problems.
