1994 Oldsmobile 98 review from North America
"I love my Oldsmobile."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the battery a few times. The starter and one of the cables also died. Lastly I had a corroded battery terminal. I suspect that either the bad starter or corroded battery terminal is the reason that I went through so many batteries.
My master cylinder also died at around 116000, causing damage to other parts of the brakes. All and all, the break damage cost me $430.
The paint is "flaking" off the front and rear bumpers, which is only aesthetic.
General comments?
This car handles well.
It accelerates quickly.
It handles mountainous roads with no problems.
It is very comfortable.
It seats six people.
It has a lot of trunk space.
Good sound system.
