1994 Oldsmobile Achieva S review from North America
"Not a car for people with high expectations"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The coolant level light came on after 500 miles were put on the car. I bought the car used. We filled the coolant and after another 500 miles the light came on. Again, filled up the coolant tank and light wouldn't go off. The dealership accused me of tampering with a thermostat. Which caused a leak in the coolant. The dealership then learned it had to do with the previous owner. Everything was fixed and I was on my way.
General comments?
For my first car, it's stylish and just right for me.
Has pretty good pick up, but works a little harder when the air conditioning is on.
Very comfortable.
I'm very lucky this car was in good shape before I owned it.
