1989 Oldsmobile 98 regency brougham review from North America
"A great car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Our alternator needed replacement at 135,000 miles. The heat and the air -conditioning blew out two months ago. We think that is because of the alternator. The right hand power window does not work either. The right hand back door does not lock with the power locks. Also the armrest in the front is very unstable. The front right seats power stopped working too.
General comments?
The car is not the best looking car, compared to our last car (2001 chevrolet suburban LT).Even though it is ugly it gets the best gas miles. The seats are also very comfortable!This car is a good family car because it is roomy, comfortable, and dependable. This car also seems similar to the caddillac deville. It is also very powerful.
