1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Sedan review from North America
"A very good choice for someone looking for a low budget CLASSY car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain - GM used to use nylon teeth on the chains, so they wear out - car would start but would die when put in gear... replaced it two years ago.
Carburator - Very very hard to adjust, partly the fault of regulations for adjusting performance, requires special tools and servicable by a "professional" only!
Motor mounts - driver's side breaks all the time.
General comments?
This is my first car- I still own it. I have driven hundreds of different cars at work (Valet) - and can say that I love this car more than anything else I usually drive.
Classic styling, comfortable ride, very solid.
