1992 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Elite review from North America

There has been an intermittent problem with the Air Conditioner - I believe the ambient sensor may have a loose connection. The unit blows colder than the Arctic - when it works!

General Motors really did a nice job when they conceived the Ninety-Eight Regency Elite.

The vehicle is luxuriously appointed, and quick enough to keep up with the average Highway traffic.

The smooth V6 motor and transmission are quiet even under hard acceleration. When you do have to give this car the boot, it responds effortlessly, and impressively.

There's ample room inside the cabin to swing a cat, and passengers will be cosseted by the nicely set up suspension, which will soak up the bumps like they didn't even exist.

This car is made for the highway. Fuel consumption is pretty good for such a large car, especially with judicious use of the loud pedal.

The ride is soft, and almost floaty. Having stated that, the car corners with confidence, and with only a small amount of body roll.

Driving impressions: Feels like you should drive this car in a somewhat stately manner. You can cruise all day between fuel stops and emerge still smiling. Love the relaxed American cruiser, and this car is pretty close to the epitome.

Wish they'd made the front passengers window just a few inches wider. The pillar is just a little awkward, but then I am probably just trying to pick a fault.

The paint has lasted very well, and the car looks just like it came out of the showroom. I like the color scheme, and the panel fit. There's a solid, very dependable feel about the car.
