1998 Aurora Review Summary & Specifications

Though some of the European cars offer the latest in styling and technology, the Aurora is a proven commodity.

Overall, it's an excellent package with a clean, attractive body design. Every Aurora we've seen reflects the pride

of the workers who assemble it.

Engineering features are clever and effective. The Aurora is comfortable and enjoyable to drive. The fact that the car has survived into a fourth year of production without major changes can be interpreted as an acknowledgement that Oldsmobile got the Aurora right the first time.

Style, a long list of standard equipment, quality materials and assembly, and fine road behavior make the Aurora as attractive as ever.
