1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme review from North America
"The biggest pile of junk I have ever driven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I think just about everything has gone wrong with it. Including the digital dash so I don't know how many miles are on it. And sometimes I don't know how fast I am going because the digital dash doesn't work half the time.
The motor is something to be desired, when it wants to run it will, but when it doesn't it looks like I am walking home. Same with the heater and A/C and radio, they all have a mind of their own.
And a hint to all you 1988 Cutlass owners, if you want to print the recalls off the Internet, you better have at least twenty pieces of paper in your printer because there are a lot of them.
General comments?
This car is anything but quick and doesn't handle worth a darn. It wouldn't be a bad car, but the people at Oldsmobile decided to use this car as a test car, they put a bunch of junk on it just to see if it would work.
