1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS review from North America
"Toss-up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Burns 1 quart of oil every 1500 miles. I thought it was leaking, but the head mechanic at dealership says that the 3.5L has lots of problems like this and burning oil. Fuel injectors gum-up every so often, causing a misfire, but running a cleaner every other fill-up helps.
General comments?
I wish I would have gotten the 3.8L, but the GLS doesn't offer it. I love the Olds, it looks much classier than a Chevy or Pontiac. Other than the engine consuming oil like a sponge, this car is awesome. But I'm just waiting for the engine to blow up.
