This car handles well on the road.
This car leaks some type of oil or combination of oil/fluid, however I am told I have no oil leaks.
I like driving this car. It is comfortable, gets okay gas mileage on the road, and is an easy 4 passenger car.
I need the name (s) of dealerships or mechanic shops that have been used in the Alpharetta/Roswell, Georgia area who have proven to be qualified (proven by your experience) to work on this car. My e-mail address is lbflem@bellsouth.net. Thank you.

Update from the review author:
Since writing the review, I have replaced 2 pulleys, need an air conditioner compressor, heat takes 40 minutes to be luke warm; there are popping sounds when making turns, low oil pressure warning dinging sound comes on at every complete stop-when it drops below 6psi. I was getting ready to sell this nightmare when on Oct.1,2006 someone went through a red light and hit my car at 50 mph in my drivers side fender, went around me and ripped the front end off. My car is totalled, however I am not!!! I only had a contusion of my thumb from the air bag. I believe the weight and size of the car kept me from being injured. Love the larger cars!!! Thanks Aurora for serving some purpose!!
