I am Marc from Southeast New York State and I own a 2001 Aurora 4.0 which I bought in December of 2000. I am so pleased with this car that I cannot find the words to express that fact. Just for starters, the Aurora turned out to be a much more powerful runner than I had expected. It feels as good in acceleration as my former car...a 1972 Cutlass 442 with a W-25 455! And the Aurora gets well over twice the gas mileage of the old muscle- car. |

Last week, Edmunds rolled out new pricing pages. Along with this is a new "consumer ratings & reviews". This functionality lives in the "consumer opinions" area of the new vehicle detail page, and allows users to rate a vehicle on a number of different criteria (1 to 10 scale), as well as add his/her own free-form comments. If you have some time, we would really appreciate Town Hall members writing a review of their current auto, or a favorite make/model. It takes approximately a week for your review to appear on that make/model. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks! KarenS Host Owners Clubs |

I bought a 2001 V6, 18,000 miles, three weeks ago. Sage green, I didn’t want the V8, what was I thinking? The V6 is really enough power though, and I'll be less likely to pile up speeding tickets in it (I hope). I can't believe the difference from my 89 Buick Century that I thought was luxury when I bought it. The car is so quiet and smooth at speed that I have to fight the urge to keep going faster, and I can't wait to get some time on a twisty road. On the downside, a couple of glitches I didn't notice on the test drive; Water gets into the spare tire well when it rains, and worse the buttons for the memory seat (another cool feature) change the radio band from AM to FM to CD, and sometimes changes A/C settings also. Pretty weird, I hope the Dealer doesn't make it worse. Good to read all the notes on the main board, Thanks for all the good info, I'll post on the main board when I get the seat thing solved. THANKS again Carl C. Alameda |

| The memory buttons hold separate radio settings in addition to separate seat and mirror positions. If you have the radio on one way as driver 1, and another way as driver 2, it will switch back and forth as you press the 1 and 2 memory buttons. If that is what you are experiencing, then it isn't a glitch. If that isn't what you are experiencing, then it's time to see the dealer. | |
| Hello to all, new here since I bought a 1999 Olds Aurora in Jet Black, Totalled my 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue in an accident, which it was not my fault, I wasn't even inside of the car, oh-well. I'm loving my Aurora, all ready made some changes on it, and still looking to modify it some more. I got some questions about stock and aftermarket radios, so I'll keep checking other boards. Peace. | |

| I am a new owner of a '99 Diamond White Aurora with chrome wheels. It's always been my policy to purchase slightly used cars, as I love to take advantage of the depreciation factor. On my first day out looking, I stumbled upon this beauty at my local Caddy dealer. The only way I could describe the test drive was like being on a "fast cloud". The price was more than I had planned to spend, so I bid the dealer good-bye and went on my way. The next day, I drove a '99 300M (another beauty, in my opinion). My husband and the salesman thought I was crazy when I announced that the ride was "bumpy" and "I'm hearing a lot or road noise". It then occurred to me that I had set the bar high by driving the Aurora first. Needless to say, we bought the Aurora the next day. The best part of the story? It only had 7,090 miles on the odometer! How could I not buy it? I know I made the right decision and I look forward to being a member of the club. | |
| Welcome! Congrats on your new purchase. That's some low mileage for a '99. My '02 has almost that many... | |
| Hello Auroralaura, That Aurora with 7,000 miles that's not bad at all for a 1999. I also was looking at the 300M's but the Auroras had my vote since first introduced in 1995, I now own a 1999 Jet Black Aurora. Great choice you made, you can go wrong with your pearl white Aurora. | |

Hello, This is Jim from CT. I have a Stone Beige Metallic (silverish gold) 97 Aurora with Autobahn. I bought it in Dec of 2000 with 47,000 miles on it, and today (April 5th) it just hit 74,000.. I only work 7 miles away from work, I just love to drive. I have had some issues with he car, like Leaky rack and pinion, noisy belt tensioner, struts, bla bl bla... Lots of money in the past year, but I love the car. Its great that more and more "tinkerers" are getting the Aurora and trying new things |
