Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Classy look, comfortable interior, I could go on and on!
Cons: Acceleration lacks!
The Bottom Line: The best, most reliable, most stylish car I've ever owned. Loaded with standard options and priced reasonably.
As I saw my 1999 Intrigue being driven away last month by the car dealer where I traded it in, I was surprisingly sad.
This is a car that is packed with standard options that make your driving experience very nice. The first thing that...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Engine
Cons: Ergonomics, cheap feel to interior, overall tin-can feel
Sometimes I pity Detroit. They really have made improvements in the 20 years that the Japanese gave them their first quality lesson. The cars that are being produced today by the Big Three are far superior to their past efforts. Unfortunately by the time...

Pros: convenience of option packages, wonderful driving experience, reliable
Cons: steering isn't as tight as i'd like, dash looks too big
I never thought I'd say this but I actually wanted to buy an Oldsmobile and until this car came out I never thought that I would want to. I can remember seeing this car on the road since 1998 and wondering "who makes that car?" When I finally...

Pros: Economical, roomy, an all around good car.
Cons: One may own this car. I don't know.
The Bottom Line: If you can find one, buy one. It is money well spent.
My wife and I went used car shopping two years ago, and while we were at the dealer looking at what we thought we could afford, the sales man told us about this car they had just gotten in for trade. It was two years younger than the one we were ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: GREAT engine, very good gas mileage, a steal to buy!
Cons: None that I have found
The Bottom Line: Great buy for the money; a dependable car that is inexpensive to operate.
My wife and I live in the country, and drive about 15,000-18,000 miles to and from work each. Rather than spend $20,000 on a car that would be worth about $5,000 after a few years, I decided to buy a good GM car with the latest safety features. I ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Head-turning styling (especially when freshly washed); a driver's car, no doubt, with superb handling, nice steering feel, and comfortable interior appointments; definitely doesn't feel American.
Cons: Engine could use a touch more refinement, especially when accelerating; center console area could also be fancied-up a bit
Oldsmobile has been on an advertising blitz lately. Turn on the tube during primetime and you're bound to see one of their ads. The commercials for the Intrigue are probably the ones most often run. The commercials would have you believe the Intrigue...

Pros: very smooth ride, good gas mileage, responsive, comfortable, very safe.
Cons: needs brake job after 30,000 miles
I bought the car because of the amenities that were offered at a reasonable price - it was hard to beat! That legendary 3800 V6 engine gives performance and decent gas mileage (which is certainly important these days - 24/32 mpg, depending on how heavy...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Standard Equipment, drive-train, styling
Cons: interior appointments, fuel consumption
I recently purchased a used '99 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL. I had been seeking a mid-sized car and had narrowed my choices to primarily the Intrigue, Intrepid or Concorde. I have often driven each as rentals so I was pretty much aware of their characters....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Front half of car-inside and out, drive-train, fit & finish.
Cons: Rear half of car-inside and out, poor airflow to rear seat, ashtray/lighter design.
Hoping for an Aurora, but unwilling to pay the price, I leased an Intrigue by Oldsmobile, back in March of 1999. I picked out a dark green, fully loaded GLS, which now shows 25,000 miles. Here are some impressions of the ride so far.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very smooth ride. Roomy. No noise.
Cons: Can't think of any.
We have had our 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue for about 3 months now. We are leasing it for 3 years. When we set out to look for a new vehicle we were very unsure on what we wanted. What we did know is that I was about four months pregnant with our first...

Pros: Excellent Power & Handling; Spacious Room; Quiet Ride
Cons: No "Door Open" Warning Light; Audio System is Non-standard DIN Size
Had to give up my 2-door manual transmission Celica GTS since the stick shift was too bestial for my wife and the back seats didn't transport friends well. Determined that if I got an automatic 4-door sedan, it was going to be sporty, and I mean a car...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: power, fuel economy, handling, stability, looks, comfort, reliability
Cons: cheap interior, no fold-down rear seat
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend all Intrigues except for early 99's with the 3.5. There were some engine problems that were sorted out later.
I've always been an Oldsmobile guy, but judging by the direction they were headed in the early 90's, I got the feeling that I would never be buying another one until I was 70 years old. Maybe then I would be in the proper age bracket that GM was ...

I purchased my 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL brand new in June of 1999. For the price of 21,997. Since then i have put 21,046 miles on her. The power of the Intrigue's new 3.5 liter Northstar V-6 blew my mind. I am the owner of a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 with a...

Pros: Great Value, looks, performance, comfort
Cons: Bigger feel than compacts
Who would have though such a big car could be fun to drive? My mom purchased her 1999 GLS and has since put on 30k problem free miles.
The engine is very responsive in the GLS. The 3.5 +200 hp engine is based on the northstar two cylinders...

We recently purchased an Oldsmobile Intrigue. So far we've had it for about 7 months. Here's a little background of why we chose this car:
We originally purchased a brand new Toyota Camry. Although it lacked real power, we did love the...
