2001 Oldsmobile Aurora Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I have owned my 2001 Olds Aurora 4.0 for almost 8 years. I have been driving since 1960 and all that time I have driven more than 100 cars ranging from the 1941 to the 2008 model years. When all the factors that make a good car are considered, this Aurora is easily the best of that bunch. There simply is not enough room here for me to say how great this car is. And when I buy a new car again, what I buy will be determined by how much that car is like the 2001 Aurora 4.0.

great car, beautiful, loaded, interior catered to driver

The Aurora was redesigned in 2001, and the new design left the car with a sportier, and more modern look. This car was Oldsmobile's last attempt at an entry luxury sedan - it was available with two engines a 3.5L V6 and 4.0L V8. Standard features include leather upholstery, 6 way memory power seats, burlwood dash, projector headlamps, power everything. This car is a driver's car. The center stack is sharply angles toward the driver with radio and temperature controls within close reach. On the top of these controls is the Driver info center which has a variety of features, including, date, time elapsed, fuel used, fuel range, fuel economy, oil pressure, voltage, etc. This info center also communicates messages to the driver, like "Headlamps Suggested" or "Change oil soon". This car offers quick performance and is a joy to drive - its agile and nimble around town as well as being quiet and comfortable on long road trips.

Its a fine line between performance and luxary when it comes to Oldsmobiles, specifically the Aurora. Not only is it a full size, fully loaded, sedan but it also comes with some of the best handling for a car its size. Always a smooth comfortable ride. The design of the interrior of the car is very driver friendly. Olds didnt skip anything when making auroras, from the leather to the bose sound systems, from the heated seats to the rims, overall one of the best cars GM has ever made.

I totally enjoy driving this car....whether just around town or long trips. Great sound system ,,performance,,quiet running.. This car looks like new after 75K and 8 years..The body is perfect. Even the leather still looks new ....No signs of any wear.

This is one of the best looking cars ever produced. Even almost 9 years after purchasing the car, it still looks better than most mercedes, acura, infiniti, lexus, and caddilac models. It has great aerodynamics which help the mileage greatly on the highway. the only major issue was that it needed a transmission rebuild due to the control module going berzerk. I wish we had the 4.0L version as it would be even more fun to drive but it handles well, accelerates nicely, and is a great cruiser as is.

Love it. Performance: Goes as fast as you want without going over 2500 rpm Build Quality: No problems. A big bigger than I'm used to, but excellent handling Appearance: Leather, sunroof, and the works Cost of Ownership:gas is a pain in the ass. Fun Factor:hell yeah, it's fun.

awsome car, Really good driving in the winter with the abs braking system along with a stablizer, car is only good if you have the v8, perfect for beating people in a race. tinted window, leather, awsome sound system, 17inch rims, all around.. very fun car.

Beautiful car in my opinion. i love it, it is well built, well balanced, and a tremendous value for all the options it has. not the cheapest on parts, but i still love it. a dream to drive, every time i get behind the wheel, it's relaxing, yet powerful when provoked. a true blend of stunning looks and practical performance. want more power? get the 4.0, but kiss gas milage goodbye.

This car has had very few maintenance issues. It has 160,000 miles on it currently and is driven on a daily basis, in the harshest of conditions...the "start & stop" traffic of New Jersey. Great car to drive anywhere! Very comfortable and roomy back seat, good performance and power for long trips.
