1998 Oldsmobile Achieva SL review from North America

Trunk light wouldn't go out when purchased. Fixed under warranty, but was replaced with cheap junk so I will have to replace it again at my own expense.

Power steering pump replaced after excessive noise and interesting sound when turning the wheel.

Replaced high and low note horn.

Both rear window motors replaced, front driver side seems to be on the way out.

Front driver side lower bushing replaced at 69,000 miles, had to get new tires since the car was out of alignment due to this problem. Tires I replaced were practically new, but had cupped.

Muffler bracket rusted and broke off.

Gasket leak at 74,000 that has yet to be checked out (it will be happening soon).

The car is a good car overall, it has never left me stranded.

The computer and sensors leave something to be desired. Low traction light comes on spontaneously and ABS and ETS lights have also caused me problems.

Interior is very nice, it's what made me fall in love with the car in the first place.

The car is very quirky with its little noises, but that gives it personality.

Handles well and is a peppy little thing.

The body has some style and character that you don't see in a lot of cars in that generation.

The gas cap not fitting right and getting the "service engine" light can get to you sometimes.

The car still drives like the day I brought it home and I hope to keep it for a long time.
