1997 Oldsmobile Achieva SL review from North America
"Durable spacious and peppy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Rear Passenger-side power window needs work.
-1 of 4 Ignition Celonoids replaced.
-Ignition computer sensor replaced.
General comments?
Very comfortable car, seating is very soft and pliable.
The car would perform better with the V6 option, however the 2.4 4-cyl is peppy.
Handles like a sedan, not too bad on corners.
Has proven very reliable in the short time I've owned it.
