1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme review from North America
"A major waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It had 3 transmissions in 20 months.
The air conditioning never worked right.
It used a quart of oil a week, but the dealer said this was normal for that engine.
It got about 12 mpg on the highway.
It had several rust spots in less than 2 years.
General comments?
This was the worst piece of junk I have ever owned. I traded my reliable Escort that got 45 mpg for this lemon. Our Pinto with 150,000 miles was more reliable than this GM junk.
