1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme review from North America
"=)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, there the biggest problem was when one of the camshafts was blown at around 100,000 miles. I replaces the engine and it has been running beautifully since then.
There is was a coolant leak.
The low coolant sensor goes on although the coolant is no longer leaking or low.
The little arrow that points to whether you are in drive or reverse etc. has popped off and disappeared. How strange is that.
General comments?
This is pretty much the coolest car in the entire world. It has been my first and only car since I was 16.
My friends and I have named it the Oldsmobile F16 because it has always been quick. I've had it up to 114mph and the engine didn't even seem stressed out. During regular driving I don't even need to put my foot half way to the floor.
I have always taken care of this car, inside and out, so there is no rust and the interior looks new.
I drive mostly in Pittsburgh, however, during occasional road trips to Penn State, 3 hours away, I have not had any problems meaning this care is great in city or highway driving.
The is excellent room for passengers both front and rear to lay down and spread out. Just ask my girlfriend.
I seem to have had a bad battery at one point because I needed a jump a few times though nothing was running on it while the car was off. But, one the battery was replaced, I have had no trouble starting my car all winter long outside.
Its gonna be hard to give this car up, especially knowing I would get next to nothing for it, so I plan on my F16 and I living happily ever after together.
I would recommend this car to the pope.
