1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supeme SL III review from North America
"It is a good bargain and buy one if you can find one at a reasonable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had the rear brake caliper not release the emergency brake all the way when I first bought the car. I had to purchase an new brake caliper.
I have had to replace the alternator and battery because the car has twice decded to act like it has a dead battery, but later on starts up just fine.
Some of the interior has worn out a little excessively such as the power window button, etc.
General comments?
The V6 is more powerful than in my last car and is responsive when you need it to be.
The car rides extremely smooth and handles like a dream.
The car is exceptionally quiet as well. After it has warmed up, you can hardly tell it is running.
