General comments?

Very impressed with early model of ABS.

Sitting in driver's seat is like sitting on a couch. Enjoy every power option or gadget. Although passenger's side power window in need of urgent repair very slow. Impressive fake woodgrain in addition to a personal cigarette lighter on each door. Lacks ooooomph for 3.8 liter while driving in town, but great highway cruiser at higher speeds, performance is better. Not so impressed by rough ride with airride suspension, too sporty for oldsmobile. Was expecting to be comparable to 1990 Buick Lesabre. I love the stitching in the seats, they must have taken some time in doing this and forgot about the suspension. Another plus is two fold-down armrests for my arms to rest on. Minimal dashboard, but impressive aqua blue instrumentation. Way ahead of its time, but I wish I had the voice computer that the other 98's had. Overall good car and I plan on putting another 750,000 on it to be one of the only old's to reach 1 million miles. I know it can happen if I put my mind to it.
