1999 Oldsmobile Aurora Review

The flagship is as enticing as ever.
Interior
Though officially rated a five-passenger sedan, the Aurora provides superb accommodations for four. The front seats are especially comfortable, well-padded, clad in soft leather, and electrically adjustable to suit just about anyone. Headroom is abundant, and the four doors are sufficiently wide to provide easy access to the interior.

The driving position is very good as well. Audio and climate-control buttons are mounted on the wheel and are backlit for easy use in the dark.

Dashboard and door panel shapes echo the Aurora's curvaceous exterior styling. The instruments and climate controls are large and clearly marked. A comprehensive information display allows the driver to monitor vital items not covered by the four analog gauges, and warns of malfunctions, low fluid levels and service needs. A chime accompanies icons indicating problems that might affect the car's drivability.

Trunk space is generous, shaped well and neatly trimmed. Heaving a heavy bag over the high sill is a bit difficult, however. The upside of this arrangement is that the solid rear panel below the trunk lid is a major contributor to the Aurora's exceptionally stiff body shell, which is one of the major reasons the Aurora is so quiet and rattle-free.

Aurora's interior is luxurious. Visual, tactile and olfactory sensations are carefully calculated to coddle. Next Page
