2002 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5 review from North America
"Outstanding value as a used luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Corrosion on the hood at the front edge - repaired under warranty.
Memory seats do not function properly.
General comments?
Very comfortable, stylish inside and out, easy to drive and a great value. I average about 24mph on regular gas, with a mix of city and highway driving. The car is stable and quiet with lots of luxury features. Performance is fully adequate for getting onto highways and passing. I see no need for the thirstier V-8.
Mine is extremely well equipped, with stability control, heated seats, rain sensing wipers and much more. It makes a very safe and stable car in winter weather.
As a used car, this is a fantastic value.
