1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS review from North America
"Fun to drive / own, but too many mechanical failures"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had the usual repairs listed on this site as well as other Intrigue web sites. Crank position sensor, front turn signal sockets, intermediate steering shaft, oil consumption, etc.
My question is this. I hear of others getting good gas mileage, but I do not. On a highway trip I believe I only got about 24 MPG. In town it's considerably less. That's not consistent with how it was originally rated nor with what I hear from other owners.
Will changing the oxygen sensors do any good? Thanks to all who reply.
General comments?
I love the styling, handling and overall performance of the car.
