1989 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham review from North America

My starter went out at 140000 miles.

Out of all the cars I have owned, this

was my favorite. This car had features

on it, that you don't even see in brand

new luxury cars of today.

The driver information center was my

favorite feature. It told you every

piece of engine data, fuel economy data

and trip computer data. It even said

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening when you

started the car.

The 3.8 liter V6 is one of the finest

engines ever built. It is extremely

reliable, easy to fix yourself, cheap

on repair costs, and it is a serious

accelerator. I don't remember exactly

what I clocked it at, but it did 0-60 in under 10 seconds. It was the best

feeling in the world beating people off

the line in this car, because by its "Grandpa" look no one ever expected it to be so fast.

This car easily seats six, and four people with plenty of room to spair.

It's features for passengers was great.

Every passenger had access to reading

lights, arm-rests and ashtrays complete

with lighters.

I would still be driving this car today

if it hadn't been totaled in an accident. I still look for one similar

to this day. I currently drive a 92

Lexus ES300, but I wish I still had my 98. If you find one in good condition, snatch it up quick.
