#21 of 178 Hi from Michigan by tipsicobob Sep 08, 2001 (8:43 am)
Have had my 2001 4.0 for exactly one year know (white diamond) and it is one of the few cars which I like better over time. I only have 10k miles on it since it is not my main transportation car. I have had numerous small warrany issues which have all been fixed promptly.It has all options except for engine block heater an I purchased it through the gm employee plan. I use the onstar system routinely and am usually impressed. I also use the hands free phone option a lot. I added the rear spoiler from sportswing.com and it totally changes the appearance of the car. It is a high quality unit which is easy to install. My fuel mileage is somewhat disappointing (about 20mpg overall) and much less than my ParkAvenue at 27mpg overall.True, the performance is greater, but on the highway at a steady cruise, efficiency is efficiency no matter what the horsepower. It has burned a quart of oil between the first change and I now use Mobile 1. This appears normal for this engine, but these days it is not expected.

What are the most important factors in your car-buying decisions? The Chicago Tribune is looking for a ranking of concerns such as safety, price, monthly payment, styling, quality, etc. Please send your response to jfallonedmunds.com, or post in Talk to the Press. Thanks! KarenS Host Owner's Clubs

#25 of 178 Hello from Dave by dishwish Dec 23, 2001 (12:58 am)
Hello from Dave in North Dakota. Purchased 98 Aurora (Arctic White), with sunroof, autobahn, heated seats. I fell in love with the Aurora, back in 95 when it was introduced. Knew I would have to wait until they started to hit the used car lots. My wife and I spotted this one on the lot, and bought it the next day. This is the best looking car I have owned. Better yet, it is American made.
#26 of 178 2001 4.0 by roc88ket88 Dec 31, 2001 (6:58 pm)
Just jumped in to say hello from NJ. I've owned this car since early April and absolutely love it. I have every option but the pearl paint and paid $100 under dealer cost (tissue). I also own a '53 Olds 88.   It's a shame Olds is going down but even that couldn't stop me from buying the car. When compared to similar cars, it was impossible to match the financing, warranty and value.   I plan on stealing the car away from the wife and kids before they destroy it and on keeping it forever. Based upon some of the posts herein, I hope this comes true.   I had one minor problem with the engine surging at idle that was fixed easily. Dealer had to perform a relearn on the crank sensor and reprogram the pcm. Runs like a top with much more power since then.   Hope others buy this great car.
#27 of 178 2001 Aurora from Louisiana by dwbeach Feb 10, 2002 (6:15 am)
Ordered my 2001 Aurora in August 2001, and picked it up in January 2002. Has been an excellent vehicle. Really impressed with the highway mpg. The 4.0 is a much improved motor over my previous Oldsmobile. Although, I still miss my Toranado. This is my 15th Oldsmobile.
#28 of 178 Why so long? by rjs200240 Feb 11, 2002 (6:20 am)
I ordered my 2002 Aurora in September 2001 and it was ready by October 2001. Why would your 2001 take until January 2002? I believe they stopped production of 2001's in April 2001.
#29 of 178 2001-2002 changeover by hardesty Feb 11, 2002 (7:17 am)
The actual changeover from 2001 to 2002 production for the Aurora occurred in early July 2001. I think that dwbeach may be dealing with a speacial program that provided deserving shoppers a way to order (through a dealer search) used or previous model year new cars at a special price.
#30 of 178 Why so long by dwbeach Feb 11, 2002 (11:06 am)
Ordered the Aurora while I was overseas. Did not get back to the USA until January 2002. Not sure when it was actually built. I should have specified that I took delivery in 2002. Hopefully, my Aurora was somewhere safe being stored.
