1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS review from North America
"Dependability-wise and price-wise, this car is better than any Japanese competitor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Except normal wear, nothing had to be replaced or repaired. Exemplary reliability.
General comments?
This car is great on the gas (rarely above 7.5 litres / 100km on the freeway), and is very dependable and reliable. Suspension is perfectly tuned with a good balance of comfort and agility.
The quality of the interior material is far superior to key competitors that I had the chance to drive, and the interior volume is more than spacious. The list of equipment is formidable.
Nothing bad to say about this car. Had GM built all their cars like that in the first place, they would never had gone bankrupt.
