1989 Oldsmobile 98 Touring Sedan review from North America
"Superb comfort, sufficient power, cheap luxury!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The thermostat was stuck open so the engine would not heat up properly.
The alternator died about two months after I bought it.
General comments?
This is a fine example of what Oldsmobile should have done with their automobiles.
The seats are the most comfortable I have ever been in.
My wife was in a car accident and this is the only car that she can ride in and drive comfortably. And it doesn't make us look like we're terribly old, as a typical Oldsmobile does.
