1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Coupe review from North America
"Great car until 100K miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 113,000 miles.
Transmission needs replaced at 115,000 miles.
General comments?
This car is notorious for blowing its head gasket and the transmission slipping at 100-118K miles.
Nearly headache-free otherwise.
Very smooth and responsive ride, practically floats down the road.
Very comfortable and spacious interior for 4 adults.
Would absolutely buy again.
