1995 Oldsmobile Achieva S review from North America
"Typical GM car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Inside door panels falling apart on both passenger and driver side.
Both widow motors died, as did the sun roof motor.
Passanger side door lock difficult to lock/unlock.
Turn signal lever sticks when using the left turn signal.
General comments?
Car has taken a beating has kept on going.
The interior could use better materials and design.
The gas mileage in the car when in good for is great. I've gotten close to 40mpg.
Lowering the car a couple inches helped a ton with handeling.
Changing the oil is easy, anything else requires a lot of work.
