1995 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America

"I would not buy another one!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Power steering fluid leaks.

Transmission fluid leaks.

The radiator has been replaced and still leaks.

The power antenna does not work.

The CD player eats CD's and does not work.

This car gets bad gas mileage.

Doesn't start well in cold weather.

Very expensive to fix, and very difficult to find mechanics to work on the car.

The air conditioning pump is shot and needs to be replaced. Costing over $1000 I think I will have to live without it!

General comments?

I bought this car in January and within the first week it wouldn't start. It turns out even though it has such a big battery it still isn't enough to turn the engine over in -20 degree weather, and with no block heater there was nothing I could do about it.

Half of the time it feels like the car is floating when I'm driving it, like I have no control over the car. I have absolutely no control in snow, it buries itself and will not move.

Now the car is spitting and sputtering and I can't find anyone to fix it, nor do I have the money to fix it. The engine is too big for the space that it is in making it difficult to get to anything that needs fixed.

The latest problem is after driving it for 5 miles the engine starts to steam and smoke. The radiator has a leak somewhere, but no one can seem to find exactly where it is coming from to fix it. I usually put in a gallon of antifreeze every two weeks.
