1995 Oldsmobile Achieva S review from North America

"Got my moneys worth!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

EGR soleniod #3 replaced after failure.

Cleaning of some kind of valves to get the Olds to pass Ohio emissions tests.

1 power window motor (rear 2 still don't work, but who cares)

Power locks don't lock/unlock front doors, rears work fine.

When shifting the transmission (ex. from park to reverse or drive) the car hops.

Shifts hard going into 2nd gear.

Begins to overheat when outside temp is above 90 and car is idling (not complaining though.)

Also when temp is 90+ outside, the Olds sometimes idols sort of rough (still not complaining)

General comments?

I can't complain about any faults of the vehicle, because it has been 100% reliable for 6 months now.

Seats are worn, but at 145k they should be, and they're still comfortable enough.

Runs like a dream about 99.9% of the time.

Still cleans up to a fantastic showroom shine after a good wash/wax.

This car is pretty damn fast!

Handling could be a little bit better, but I'm sure it was 10 years ago.
