1988 Oldsmobile Ciera X C Special Edition review from North America
"Reliable quick Oldsmobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heater core became undone at 70,000 miles.
The brakes, brake and fuel lines along with master cylinder and engine sensor all had to be replaced at 106,000 miles probably because I let it sit for 3 years.
General comments?
The car is quick and was the most reliable vehicle I have owned up to this point.
I have only good things to say about the Ciera and certainly would recommend it to all.
