1996 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Aurora is the finest among the luxury cars that I have had a chance to drive, you need to get more public awareness and GM could have marketed this car well with some incentives to genuine buyers who show interest in the Olds range...
The dealership is the hardest to convince to get a good and reasonable service, they just cut you outright. Pearson Pontiac who is the dealer in the bay area, well I never seemed to have a single problem with the car, and the day when I got it serviced they just murdered the car in and out. Ever since I have had to visit the dealer every month, not because the car is not reliable, but because the dealer bills you anything between 200 - 500 every visit.
General comments?
Overall I would say if GM still has time to think twice before they stop this fine product that they make.....
