1996 Oldsmobile Achieva SL review from North America
"Great bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator had to be replaced once. Because of driving through water.
The Brakes had to be replaced at 85K.
General comments?
This is a great car for the price.
There are no problems at all, just keep up with oil change and other regular inspections.
The car runs excellent, it gets a great gas mileage and is comfortable.
There is no vibration at all from the engine as fom the inside.
