I compared models online and then went to 5 dealers for test drives.I hated the Honda and Toyota, so I decided to settle for a Buick Century, and pulled into the Olds dealer on the way. I had not even considered an Olds for fear they would go out of business and I would be stuck with a car that would be difficult to repair. I needed a car big enough for four adults and an engine that would get me on the freeway fast. The incredible handling sold me. I have now discovered a serious design problem.The dash and HEADLIGHTS dim so low they nearly go out! HQ says it is "NORMAL"! Now I am stuck with a car that blinks like a Christmas Tree!!
OUTSTANDING

I just took delivery of a 2002 Intrigue, my second GL and a replacement for my 1999, which I drove for about 33,000 miles. Simply put, I just could not turn down the incentives. GM is making a major mistake in not continuing this car, even in another guise (e.g., Buick or Pontiac). Improvements include more precise steering and an improved sound system, as well as a blessedly silent horn when using the remote locking system. Handling seems a tad softer, however,and the car seems to reach its side loading limits rather abruptly in sweeping turns. Gas mileage is about the same (mediocre), but the engine still provides plenty of grunt when asked, perhaps my favorite feature.
Good Car to have

I have been driving Nissans, and Toyota's for last 12 years, after having poor experience with North American Cars. However, after reading some great reviews and with the incentives given by GM in 2002, I decided to take the plunge. I donot regret it at all, it handles and rides extremely well, very quiet, and very thrifty on gas. The car also has adequate power for any traffic conditions. The only problem I had with this vehicle,was that there was slight water leak into the trunk when the car went through a car wash. The problem was corrected by tightening the mounting screws for the License Plate light fixture.

Bought the car used with 19,000 miles in Oct 03. It has over 100,000 miles on it now and runs like a top. Haver never had to get anything replaced. I change the oil frequently, myself. On my second set of tires; actually, will be changing them this week to my third set. I changed the trans fluid and plugs at just over 90k. Doesn't burn oil, 24 mpg city (here in Atlanta - traffic nightmare) 28 highway. Good power, fun to drive. Can't say enough about it. Wish they were still making them! Oh, my AC (not as cold as it used to be) is starting to act up though.

I purchased a slightly damaged 2002 Intrigue GLS from the Copart auction in St. Louis in November 2016. It has the new for 2002 Tropic Teal color and has been a fantastic performer, and for only $625! It had only 54,622 miles and was "living" close to where it was built at the Fairfax, Kansas City GM plant. All GLS models had the sunroof, dual power seats and two-tone leather interior. I bought both a replacement right front fender and a front right door for $24 apiece. My dealership body shop repaired and repainted everything for $700. Every year I drive a different car to the Highway Earth car show in Beverly Hills and I drove this Intrigue there in 2018. The only problem occurred two months ago when the "Service Engine Soon" light came on. I ran the codes and got the one for the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Easy fix! $96 for the exact AC Delco part from Rock Auto and installed the same day the part arrived. Easily one of the best cars ever built and I sold Oldsmobiles for fifteen years, 1990 to 2004. Today the Intrigue has just over 88,000 miles and still runs like new! Update: I recently sold this Intrigue, a 2003 Alero GLS coupe and a 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora to a family in the Oldsmobile Club of America. I also bought another Intrigue; this one is a 2002 Final 500, and it is production number 16!

What a shame this marque had to die. My '02 Intrigue GL is fun to drive and trouble free. The only complaint from the driver's seat is inconvenient radio/cruise control steering wheel buttons and a bit too much road noise from the original equipment Goodyear tires on concrete pavement. GM should have killed the stodgy Buick Regal rather than this stylish Olds!
I found the right car at the wrong time

Finally I was behind the wheel of a car that felt right in all conditions. The comfort of the seat was great, and the leather heated seat that gave my aching back a real relief after a hard day at work, a real welcome. The handling of this car was great, ABS, Tracion control,and precision control system, is this what made this car handle so nice? The looks, it looked like a dream come true to me. A car that I wish I would have driven for years. Now that I have found MY CAR, General Motors won't make this Oldsmobile name anymore. Darn.
