1995 Oldsmobile Ciera SL review from North America
"Fantastic car - unmatched in performance in it's class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has had almost no problems at all.
I had to replace the alternator at 88,000 miles.
The drivers side power window motor went at 118,000 miles and was almost impossible to change. It was pop riveted on which required drilling out the rivets and taking apart the entire door.
Absolutely no other problems.
General comments?
This car is the best car I have ever owned. I only hope that the next car I own has the same reliability that this one does.
I have done literally nothing to this car in terms of service except plugs and oil. The above problems can be expected with a car with over 100,000 miles on it.
This car has an extreme amount of power, also. You would not believe the kick that this engine gives.
The transmission is geared perfectly for the car. It holds the powerful gear that you want, especially when going up hills. None of this shifting up business like you get in Fords.
This car would easily beat any Civic or Accord off the line, or any other wanna be sports car out there, within reason.
