1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL review from North America
"I love this this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got the car with 195,000 miles on her, and she ran very good. The only thing I had to do is put new rotors and pads on the front, no big deal. I haven't had to do anything else in the 10,000 miles that I have owned it.
The only thing I would complain about is the seats are not very comfortable for trips.
General comments?
I love this car. Other than the seats being uncomfortable, this is a perfect road trip car. I have the Bose stereo and its amazing.
The car now has over 205,000 miles on her and she still runs like a dream and shifts through all gears really smooth. I can easily get 30mpg out of this car, and that's with 4 people in it on the interstate, this car loves open road. I have put 10,000 miles on this car in 5 months. I love the ride it gives too, its very smooth and it handles really good.
This car also does not leak ANY fluids either, or use any.
I would definitely buy another one of these, but it would have to have the 3.8 in it. Of course this is an example of a very well maintained vehicle, I am an ASE certified mechanic.
