1995 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"Performance, comfort, looks, reliability in one package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had mostly routine things go wrong, with a few exceptions such as the idler motor and the fuel injection train (covered under a recall) Other than that the car has been the best car I have ever owned, bar none.
General comments?
I have had very few problems with the car that could not be attributed to normal wear and tear. I change the oil every 3,000 miles and the Transmission fluid every 25,000, and I believe those 2 simple preventative maintenance actions have contributed to the drive train being original with 266,000 miles. No oil burning, no transmission problems, ever. Still has great power, and I don't hesitate to take it on long trips. I have a Colorado pickup now also, so I don't drive it as much as I used to, but I still like to take it out a couple of times every week. I have owned a lot of cars from Jaguar, Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Nissan, and Oldsmobile, and I can honestly say this is my favorite car from an all-around aspect. The Jag was the most fun to drive, but it spent more time on a hoist than on the rubber. The Aurora has never left me stranded in 6 years and almost 200,000 miles, something I dare say not many cars can say.
