1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ceira review from North America
"Great, reliable car for anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed to replace fuel and brake lines when I first bought the car (44500 miles) because of rust damage.
My catalytic convert blew at about 46000 miles because of rust damage.
A/C is started to go at 50000 miles.
Needs new suspension because of rust (50000 miles).
General comments?
The 2.4 Liter 4 cylinder is a great engine; everyone asks me if it has a 6 and is dumbfounded when I tell them it is the 4.
Never any issues with the engine.
Very comfortable seats.
Most issues on this particular car have been because of rust.
Some parts tend to be a little costly because not many are still made.
Love the stock color matched wheels.
GM's baby Cadillac that was made for everyone.
