1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme International review from North America
"Great car if you want looks, reliability and power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Changed battery.
Oil leaks at motor core.
Replaced transmission hoses to the radiator.
Struts changed all around.
Driver's side rear brake caliper leaked and had to be replaced.
Upper radiator hose leaked and was replaced.
Computer replaced after there was no throttle control of the motor.
Now the heater isn't working, but I still love the electronic climate control.
Passenger side rear spindle bolt broke causing my wheel to come off alignment.
General comments?
Love this car. A sexy and beautiful car especially in black with gray leather interior.
The 3.1 MFI V6 engine packs a whole lot of power even though it does chug a lot of gas for a V6... compromise I guess.
The inside cabin is really comfortable and the radio system was great until the tape deck didn't work anymore and I had it replaced with a Kenwood cassette system... The 6 factory speaker system still sounds great though.
