1997 Oldsmobile Aurora Gold review from North America
"Beautiful car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator leaked and had to be replaced. Am still wondering why at times it won't start and says "clean key and wait 3 minutes". Tried cleaning key etc and it still happens. Am not to thrilled about taking it in and paying someone $1000 to fix this problem. It has not stranded me yet, but gets cold waiting 3 minutes 3 times in a row in WI winters.
General comments?
The Aurora is the most comfortable, luxurious car I have ever driven or rode in. I love all the options, and think it beats the most expensive Cadillacs's. I am thinking of getting an Olds SUV now. I am spoiled with all the options.
Its quick and handles wonderful.
