1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme S International review from North America

The alternator went due to a poor design by GM between 1987 and 1991.

Seats have started to wear a little.

The dashboard bowed at the de-fog outlet along the windshield. This happens frequently with the Cutlass line, but it was an easy fix.

Replaced the factory fog lights with OEM-style ones which fit perfectly into the brackets.

I was looking for a Chevy Cavalier Z24 when I ran into one of these. With all the performance and the creature comforts this wraps up into one tight package, I wouldn't look for a Z24 ever again.

This car has top-flight acceleration when equipped with a 2.8 liter V6 coupled with the 5-speed (manual) transmission.

The FE3 sports suspension handles the car flat-as-a-table around accelerated turns. Absolute Zero body roll. I've driven Chevy Camaros that handle much worse.

The International Series came equipped in 1989 with four bucket seats, two in front (with power lumbar adjustment) and two in back. Nice novelty, very comfortable.

I recently bought a new Maxima and found myself lost without my steering wheel controls, power seats, digital climate control, driver information system, rocket-powered power windows, low-end torque, and aggressive styling and sound. I miss my baby already, but I'll never sell her.
