1996 Oldsmobile Ciera SL review from North America
"Great value with awesome performance and ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I really haven't had any problems with this car. I replaced the battery at 90,000 miles. The brakes are just starting to "get soft" at 91,000 miles.
General comments?
This car has been one of the most dependable vehicles that I have owned. It is an extremely comfortable car to take on trips. It gets great gas mileage considering it's size and engine performance. It always has plenty of power and is quite responsive. The only drawback that this car has, is it's cornering abilities at high speeds.
