1996 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"High Performance Luxury Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator went at 132 000km
Front brakes changed at 145 000km Electronic Leveling sensor changed at 146 000km.
General comments?
Very well appointed, well designed, unique car. Handles well, steering is responsive and easy to handle with Magnasteer.
V8 Northstar is good on gas on the highway, not so good in the city.
Leather is soft and has good life to it.
Definitely nothing similar to it on the road today.
Mechanical issues to be expected for a car of its age and mileage.
