1997 Oldsmobile AuroraVisitor, White Plains, KY, January 02, 2011 13:57Love my 1997 Aurora. It has luxury, comfort and suits a REAL lady but the motor and power fit the most macho, hardcore gearhead. It will fly without breaking a sweat; torque awesome. BUT if you are not a mechanic (or married to one), the simple things COST A LOT. Like most luxury cars with all the perks, eventually you are going to run into electrical issues. Frustrating at best, but I like the car enough to see it through the repair process.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

1997 Oldsmobile Auroragreen lemon, Roosevelt, NY, November 12, 2010 14:53when i brought this car it was a lemon. but, liked the handle of the drive so i did major repair work. because the system is electrical everything, finding the cause to the problem can be time tasking and costly. but, once that is clear it is smooth driving. the color is green but on an angle it looks like a beatiful sparkling blue. people always comment on my car. i love this vehicle.

2001 Oldsmobile Auroracreolebabyboi, Dallas, TX, November 12, 2010 14:53i bought this car used and i must say it turns heads everywhere.There are not a lot of them on the road,which makes this car truly unique.I have had many road trips and i use half the gas my taurus used which was a much newer model.I have luxury at my fingertips and the car is fun to drive,great sound and features.No major problems just usual maintenance,i love my car.I give the aurora five stars.

2001 Oldsmobile Aurorazeus2332, Detroit, MI, November 12, 2010 14:53just bought this car (2001 3.5L 215hp Shortstar) used. it runs great, feels great. my only issue is what most people on the different forums that i visited were saying about the car "fuel economy in the city". It's no that big of an issue since the girlfriend and I needed it mostly for long distance driving. other than that it's been a good ride so far.

2002 Oldsmobile AuroraCooldep, Revere, MA, November 12, 2010 14:53Great looking and performing car. Olds should have talked GM into keeping this model by another GM Dealership. A little pricey for repairs and all but whats cheap these days anyway. That darn Check Engine Light (CEL) can make you nuts for small, unimportant repairs, believe me!!!! Again, its a looker and I get more compliments and questions on this car....

1996 Oldsmobile AuroraJCbabee, Madison Heights, MI, November 12, 2010 14:53I've had my 96 Aurora since 2004, and its a very good car. Pricey and expensive for repairs, but what do you expect for a luxury car. I tell you what, its a better gas mileage car than a Cadillac, and i really like Cadillacs.

1996 Oldsmobile AuroraRabbit36, Dover, DE, November 12, 2010 14:53Bought my 96 Aurora in 2006 with 72,000. It's starting to nickel and dime me. Fuel Injector, heating/AC, now the radiator. First 2 years were wonderful and care free. Enjoy it while you can, once the repairs start it's very costly.
