1989 Oldsmobile Ciera review from North America
"Right amount of power for the right size car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cruise control would not stay lock in.
Dealer could never locate problem.
After ten years, found a tech note to replace the servo. Works great!
Now trying to figure out why after initial cold start, engine won't run at higher rpm for few minutes. After that, engine runs fine.
Smoothest riding car I have ever driven. And for size, still is considered a 6 passenger car! Especially since it was once considered a Class C mid-size car by rental companies.
