1994 Oldsmobile Achieva S review from North America
"Overall it is a fairly good car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head cracked at around 63000 miles and the used car dealership I bought it from fixed it under there warranty.
Unfortunately at 71000 miles I found out that they used stop leak to seal the cracked head so I had it replaced with a used one for $750.
The door panels are coming loose.
The air conditioner compressor went out at around 70000 miles.
The coils went out as a result of the stop leak not working and soaked them with oil.
The clutch is starting to feel pretty bad.
It pulls to the right.
General comments?
The main problem with the car is the motor I have heard many people talk bad about the quad 4.
It has taken quite a bit of abuse and held up decently.
