1990 Oldsmobile Calais International review from North America
"Luxury vehicle with smooth ride, even at high speeds."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced starter third day of ownership.
Brake lines went a week later.
Cable connected to the alternator broke off while troubleshooting battery problems. Reconnection solved the problem.
Water gets into the vehicle somehow when it rains, leaving carpet on driver's side quite wet and musty smelling.
General comments?
This car handles extremely well and I appreciate the tach, oil, and battery gauges.
Leather interior comfortable and in excellent condition.
Pull down back seats quite convenient for transporting skis, etc. but not much leg room for passengers in the back seats.
Computer driver package invaluable.
Poor radio reception at times. It has a power antenna.
Remote start and power options all work well.
