1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"A great, comfortable, classic boat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seam of fuel tank rusted and leaked gas
Upholstrey on the roof has bubbled in some areas
Parking brake warning light stays on occasionally
Wiper delay will not work correctly
Since I replaced radio, the gauge lights will not work (must be my fault)
General comments?
Amazingly comfortable and easy to drive! The Delta 88 I bought came with a Pontiac 301 engine, which would be unfair to talk about in this review. It was a horrible engine for this car.
Interior is very nice looking and very comfortable seating. Oldsmobile did not skimp when it came to details.
Body design looks very nice in pitch black paint!
The trunk is HUGE
My brakes are very touchy and work strong for a car this size
Cornering on a bumpy road (30+ mph) can be scary sometimes. Feels if the car is going to jump off pavement
Turning radius is big, but remember it is a big car.
