1998 Oldsmobile Achieva SL review from North America
"Good car for a first car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to have the brake pads changed with in the first 2 months of ownership.
The driver side door panel was loose.
Alternator went out in it within a year of ownership.
Transmission had to be replaced in 2003.
General comments?
This car drives nice.
The Achieva gets GREAT gas mileage.
Very sporty looking for a first time car owner.
