1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLX review from North America
"Great highway car with exceptional mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only issues we have had with this car is battery related. We are still using the original spark plugs. The plug wires have been replaced (65k).
We did have problems with the factory brakes as they warped about every 20,000 to 25,000 miles. Warranty covered
3 of the pad changes. Since I went to a different brake pad, no problems @ 95k.
General comments?
Great performance. Easy highway get-on.
0 to 60 in no time. Last trip we ran between 60 and 85 mph and averaged 30 mpg. I was not surprised. You can drive this car 55 or 85 and still get 30 mpg.
Must use cruise control or you will be going 90 in no time. The front end does
get "loose" at just over 115 mph. Never
been able to peg the speedometer due to
my concern about the front end lifting
up. My wife loves this car.
