1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue

Pros: powerful V-6, smooth ride, great handling

Cons: bland outer appearance, climate control frustrating to use and in bad place

Review: My wife and I own a 1998 Intrigue purchased in April of 1998. It now has about 20,000 miles on it. At the time we bought it my wife was pregnant and her Cavalier coupe wasn't going to be big enough anymore. While my wife was more concerned with the...

Pros: stylish good looks, loaded with extras, very easy riding

Cons: nighttime visibility problem with windshield, cruise control 'sticks'

The Bottom Line: Excellent stylish and dependable car, I recommend it totally.

Review: We bought a used 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue in January 2003; paid $9,000.00+ for it. It has many extr ...

Pros: aggressive V-6 motor, sporty look with lots of family room!

Cons: Haven't found any yet!

Review: The Oldsmobile Intrigue is definitely a best bet when it comes to comfort, agility, and style. I bought the Intrigue 8 months ago and immediately fell in love with it's peppy v-6 motor and it's traction control. For a mid-size sedan, this car will keep...

Pros: Styling, ride, handling, comfort, fuel economy

Cons: heater controls, front cup holder

Review: The Intrigue by Oldsmobile is by far the best new vehicle that I have ever owned. This is my third Oldsmobile. I have progressed from a Cutlass Ciera Wagon, to a Cutlass Supreme sedan and now the Intrigue.

I find the styling exceptional....

Pros: Strong engine, lots of room

Cons: Could be sportier

Review: I bought my 1998 Intrigue GL in the beginning of 1999 with 12,000 miles on it a lot lower price than a new one. I first saw the Intrigue in an episode of the X-Files and I thought that it was a sharp looking 4 door. I had no plans on running right out...

Pros: Power seats, Power windows, Good on gas

Cons: None

Review: The Oldsmobile Intrique, has got to be one of the best cars I have driven!
It handles well on icy roads. It is great on gas, on the highway it gets up to 30 miles to the gallon. For a middle priced car you get alot of options. Powered windows,...

Pros: styling, performance, comfort

Cons: lacks sporty feel, some creaks over some surfaces

The Bottom Line: An attractive, good performing sedan that proved very reliable.

Review: Update: after having the steering shaft replaced and the rotors turned under warranty, my Intrigue is much more satisfying to drive. Though I still have some issues with the interior, for the money I now feel this is a five point car (I previously rated ...

Pros: Roomy and comfortable

Cons: Suspension not quite stiff enough to be a sports sedan

Review: This is a counterpoint to a review that did not recommend the Intrigue. I own a 1998 Intrigue and have been very pleased with my 1 1/2 year experience. With the exception of a problem with the steering rack that has been a common problem for many...

Pros: Value, asthetics, smooth acceleration, decent power

Cons: Certain components low quality, defects needed repair under warranty

The Bottom Line: A decent buy if you are looking for a 4door, somewhat sporty, sedan, for around $15K.

Review: This is somewhat a belated review. However, it could be usefull for some of you that are considering a purchase of a used Intrigue.

Background:

Purchased my 1998 intrigue, slightly used (1 yr. w/ 14k) from CarMax - for $16K....

Pros: Spacious interior, good powerful feel when driving, great alternative to the Camry

Cons: Has a few minor glitches

Review: I recently purchased a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue from a good friend of mine. I'm usually very skeptical about buying cars directly from other (private) owners, but I know she took good care of the car. When I took possession, the car had 37,000 miles on...
