1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL review from North America
"Nice and reliable, but costly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The molding around the doors make them stick to the frame.
The power window motors (both sides) break easily and the repair is remarkably costly.
There are weird noises in the steering system when you make sharp turns.
Some lights (low-track and service-engine-soon) tend to go off and on and the dealer usually does not have the slightest idea of the reason.
Swallows engine-oil like an elephant.
General comments?
Nice looking car, comfortable inside and relatively spacious.
Pretty reliable, only once let my on the side of the road waiting for assistance (during these 6 years)
