1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue review from North America
"Best car I've owned since my '67 Chevelle SS"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Service Engine light comes on often. Uses about a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Rain leaked under windshield.
General comments?
I think this is one of the best cars I have ever owned. It has more pickup than either of the 2 t-birds I had, I took it up to 120mph easily and it was wanting to go higher. It averages 24/25 mpg. It has the spring loaded front hood and a locking gas door that I wish my $36,000 chrysler had, but doesn't. Aside from the service engine light and the leaky windshield I haven't had anything to complain about. One of the best cars I have ever owned. I bought a new Bronco in '74m a new Cordova in '75, a new T-bird in '84, a new Subaru in '93, a new Mountaineer in '00, a new Pacifica in 2004, and a few used cars along the way, and I rate this Intrigue at the top. I love it, and I hope it lasts forever, I plan to keep it a long time.
