1998 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"A true sports luxury sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clear coat is peeling, around the trunk and antenna.
The brakes wear too fast, due to weight of the vehicle.
Tune-up is a must at 75000km, or performance decimates.
General comments?
The car is fast, and handles well.
The ride is smooth, and sturdy on the road.
Noise in the cab is minimal, and the motor idles very smoothly.
The Aurora is very roomy inside, and there is more than enough headroom.
The trunk is large, as long as your items fit through the narrow opening.
