1994 Oldsmobile Achieva SC review from North America
"Very good and affordable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
OK here we go, at 200000 km the radiator broke, replaced that, after that every year I replaced the radiator
every year, the check guages light is on sice I bought the car, the power locks do not work/have never worked, replaced alternator once, battery once, lights, intake cooler, and many many more problems with this car.
General comments?
This car died on January 2004 at 345000 km, it mixed water and oil which cranked the engine heads, I love this car I wish that it never died, it had a killer engine very fast fast car. Even though I had lots of problems with it I still love it, it was an amazing car that went to a far mileage.
