1987 Oldsmobile Firenza review from North America
"It is a good/cheap running little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My seats have started to wear mildly bad so I had to put seat covers on them so they would hold together. My headliner is falling in and the previous owner tried to staple it up and that only worked for a little while. It has a head gasket out, but it still runs great. It smokes a lot though. I had to replace the fan, fan motor, and the thermostat because it kept over-heating. I just had to replace the stud bolts that hold the tire on the other day because I was going to a friends house and my tire fell off, all of the bolts broke. It has a lot of rust on it.
I have started putting other parts on it to cut back on the rust.
General comments?
It runs great. I have had it well over 100 mph. It handles very well in all weather conditions. If you take care of it, it will do you a lot of good. The interior of this car is alright. It has a big truck for stereo equipment. The driver and passenger seats are comfortable and have plenty of leg room, but the back seat is really small.
