1994 Oldsmobile Achieva S review from North America
"Nice affordable first car, not for the speedy type!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 weeks after I bought the car the head gaskets blew between every cylinder. I have replaced the alternator, starter battery, water pump, 2 out of 3 motor mounts.
General comments?
I actually like this car very well. It has pretty good pickup for a 4 banger. I wish I had power windows. I learned on lesson while having this car, don't put the midas brakes on it, they are terrible and don't last long. I do not like the body roll it has. It also sits very high for a car. Almost as high as my mom's van.
