2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL review from North America
"Overall, a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electric lock switch has started to give me problems. It has not completely gone out, just started to be difficult.
The wheels have a plastic cap in the center that rattles while driving. The local tire shop said that I just needed to replace the wheels because they would always rattle... poor design.
I too have noticed the dimming of the head lights, but I don't think my problem is as bad as others. It is not very noticeable and only happens for a couple seconds.
General comments?
Otherwise, I love this car and wish they still made them. I drive a lot and for long distances and this car has been a real dream. I have never been stranded or felt worried that I would not make it to my destination. The car has given me zero problems.
The seats are very comfortable and the car rides like a Benz.
The interior was well made and is comfortable for even my 6'5 brother... in the back.
