Oldsmobile Omega Reviews from North America

Wheel bearings at about 70000, and I've replaced the shoes a couple of times.

I have never had any major problems, and I've had this since I was a Jr. in high school.

Traveled to NC because of being stationed in Camp Lejeune for the Marines, and I had no trouble, and I'll say it makes the heads turn!

I have a cold air intake that I built custom, directly to the scoops I put on, and dual performance exhaust, and some nice HP/4000 Hercules tires on with Cragar rims.

I love this car to death!

Brakes seem over powered - seized when braking a bit harder/suddenly.

Paint fade / bubbling on plastic grill.

Noise from ashtray/cassette/tool box.

2.8L engine is good for its weight. Good handling and smooth cruise, and very quiet when downhill.

Like the power windows of my model and vinyl top.

Seats are not as comfortable as they look like.

All the little things... water pump, alternator, master cylinder. Nothing big.

This was not my car. It was my parents, and I inherited it after they died.

I very rarely drove it, and I have it in storage now. I start it every few days & change the oil every few months.

Even though it hasn't been tuned in 13 years, it still starts. The A/C is gone, but that's a simple thing to fix.

I needed to replace the $4 fuel filter twice.

The car sat for some time before I bought it. Since I've had the car it has run excellently!

She runs strong, handles well (for thirty-year old engineering/suspension) and is just as fuel-efficient as the newer cars getting 17 MPG.

The only thing that could make it better is if it had the Chevy Moniker.

I've replaced an alternator, front wheel hub assembly, water pump, shifter A/T select cable, and electric radiator fan. It's to be expected with a high mileage older car.

It rides comfortable, but is in need for new shocks.

Transmission lines were leaking in June of last year due to 30 years of Pennsylvanian weather; they were replaced for $30. The car had 41000 miles on it then.

Also in last June the sub-frame mount was replaced because it was dry rotted due to the car sitting for the winter months. I also had to have catalytic converters installed on the car in order for it to pass inspection, which cost me $140.00.

Radio doesn't work due to disconnected speakers in the rear of the car.

I love my Oldsmobile Omega and I wouldn't trade it for any other car in the world, not even a Rolls Royce.

The car is very very fuel efficient for being a bigger and older car. I would say it gets at least 30 mpg on the highway and 22mpg in the city.

Seats are comfortable for the most part, however they could have had better lumbar support built into them.

The car handles well when driving it, no matter what the speed. It does pull a little to the left due to it being out of alignment, which I need to have done on it.

Brakes failed early on.

Radiator replaced twice before 30000 miles.

Alternator belt replaced every 5000 miles.

Doors rusted off hinges within 3 years.

Sunroof leaked.

Transmission failed shortly beyond warranty.

Paint flaking off upper trunk and hood.

Car would sometimes just stop and become difficult or impossible to start resulting in towing.

Air conditioner failed to work in third year.

This was the car that finally turned me off GM after purchasing 4 new GM products previously.
