1994 Oldsmobile Achieva S review from North America
"FANTASTIC! A real winner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump had to be replaced at 245,000 miles.
Very little at all other than brake pads has gone wrong with this car.
General comments?
This is a well built and fun car! With over 250,000 miles on it with no major work ever done on it, it is highly reliable.
I get a kick watching the look on the folks at Sears (tires) when they see how clean and nice running it is with so many miles.
Handling is a dream since I added Monroe Sensa-Trac struts.
Power is fantastic for the size! It is too bad Oldsmobile stopped selling this one!
Miles Per Gallon: 35.8+
