1995 Oldsmobile Achieva S review from North America
"Great first reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine (3.1 V6 in this car) started to leak oil and I have to top it up with 4 quarts of oil each week, I think the seals are gone and I have to replace it.
The brakes are a little noisy (not when it's time to change it), but it works perfect.
General comments?
If you like to stick in the driver's seat, and feel the car pulling back, you're gonna love this because this engine is pretty quick on acceleration.
It also gets great gas mileage - mine gets about 31 on the highway. It also handles pretty good.
The air conditioning on it is mountain cold. If you have it fixed, it's like the one of a brand new car.
You won't be disappointed buying one of these.
Watch for wet conditions, this car may be stuck on the street spinning tires.
Great first car. I have had this car for one year and have never replaced any major parts on it.
