1992 Oldsmobile Ciera S review from North America
"A good car that you don't have to worry about"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As I have only owned this vehicle for about 2 months, nothing major has come up. I did have to replace the alternator as a dry battery caused it to fail trying to charge it. I am the 4th owner and know two of the previous owners, so it has been maintained well. It has a lot of miles, but it is still a solid car. I drive about 500 miles a week to and from work, and has done well.
General comments?
This is my 4th Oldsmobile I have owned over the years. My Grandmas 77 Cutlass, was the 1st. I wish I still had that one! Then an 87 Ciera with 225,000 miles and still going. I had to take my 1990 98 to the junkyard with "only" 186,000 plus on it.
Very reliable and fairly inexpensive to drive and maintain. Huge trunk for size of vehicle. 3.3L motor is well suited to this style of car.
