1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham review from North America
"Awesome car, despite some glitches"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Like any 19 year old car, problems arise such as the timing chain, water pump, brakes all around, brake lines, gas line, sending unit, all of the electronical died (now rebuilt), tires, battery, alternator, tune up (couple times) plus I had it taken in for a factory recall issued Jan of 88.
General comments?
I love this car, for a car of its size it handles and performs well.
The interior is extremely comfortable and the ride is very nice as well.
