2002 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"Best GM car design ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car, in the year and a half I've owned it.
I can't comment on the quality of dealer service, since it hasn't had anything beyond the routine old changes, and the like. Those were done at a nearby garage. For anything that is not routine I'll go to a car dealer.
General comments?
This may very well be the best car GM has ever made (!) so I am extremely sad that Oldsmobile is gone as a make. The longest brand in the industry and GM dumps it, at considerable cost. Now they're desperate for money. Makes no sense.
Next I'll probably buy a Buick - the nearest car to my Aurora. But it seems like a step down from an Oldsmobile!
