1994 Oldsmobile 88 Royal review from North America

Okay, this car is a dream to drive. Basically the work that's been done on the car is rotors and calipers around 70,000 miles.

Standard oil changes.

I do have an oil leak that I cannot find; it's probably from a pipe somewhere or hose or something - every 2-3 months I use about a quart of oil.

1 time the check engine light came on during a trip @ 105,000 miles, but then I pulled over and checked it out, everything looked okay, and started back up and it was gone.

That's about as bad is the maintenance ever got on this car... just do basic stuff and it runs like a dream. Reliability is key for me and this car is perfect for that. Sadly for image purposes and the higher mileage, I am getting rid of it now.

I love this car because it is the most reliable thing I've ever had. I think in the last 6 years it's been worked on 2-3 times besides the standard oil changes.

The only thing is it isn't the most appealing looking or slick car, but I know that if I take it across multiple states it will get me there in comfort without getting me stuck.

It been more reliable than a Honda or Toyota for me. (granted doesn't accelerate or handle as well as them).

I also get great gas mileage for a V6 (around 31 mpg), because I don't press the pedal hard and drive like an old lady, and the cruise control is on in the city even, because it's so easy to engage and disengage.
