1998 Oldsmobile Achieva SL review from North America
"Very reliable car for the most part"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So Far The Brakes Needed to be replaced twice. 50.00.
Some sort of oil got into the antifreeze. 45.00.
Back right window sometime dose not go up and all the windows in general are slow.
General comments?
This car being my second car after my chevy (had for 2 months) is more responsive and faster than my old 2.8 V6. Car likes to studder a lot getting on the highway, when you push it, it just start to slowly glide into oncoming traffic then the engine pulls with all its might and you on you way!lol.
