1997 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"Performance with luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic leveling suspension failed at 70,000 kilometres and was covered under extended warranty, total cost $650.00.
Recently repaired alternator bearings that caused a whining noise for almost close to a year and became worse with knocking and louder whining noise, total cost: Labor - 400.00 and new alternator 600.00 all covered under extended warranty. The car is EXTREMELY quiet after this repair.
General comments?
The Aurora is a sleek and powerful automobile that as they say is a wolf with sheep's clothing, too bad many other people do not recognize what this car is.
