1996 Oldsmobile Achieva SC review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rotors warped at 30000 miles.

Front strut on passenger side went at 40000 miles.

Catalytic converter went at 70000 miles.

Water pump went at 95000 miles.

General comments?

Car has a lot of power for a 4 cylinder.

The car can comfortably seat 5 adults, although the head room in the back is a little cramped.

I've had the car for over seven years and have only spent +- 2000 in repairs.

A very reliable, economical vehicle without all the extras.
