"Great comfortable reliable car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had to replace the front and rear struts, but this is something you have to do for all cars.

I had to replace the alternator at about 125,000 miles.

General comments?

Overall this is the best car I have owned.

The car has lots of power and runs very well.

The seats are very comfortable.

The cockpit is like a fighter plane cockpit. Especially at night all lit up.

Most trouble free. Very reliable.

I've had no major repairs and have never been stranded with this car.

It gets great gas mileage for the size. Consistently 20-25 in the city and 25-40 on the highway depending on the terrain.

I have recently purchased an 89 Cutlass International. It has 316,000 k's and it still sounds and performs amazing. Like others I have had to replace the alternator and front struts.

My 1990 International Series is my first car. The mechanical workings are well designed; however, I have had a terrible time with the electronics. Smoke will sometimes come curling out of the steering column, wiring for the turn signals has gone out, the moon roof became stuck opened (of course it rained and I had no tarp), the electric locks lock and unlock at random times, I had to disconnect the trunk release because it would suddenly open while driving, the electronic dash no longer dims, and the electric adjustments on the passenger side seat malfunctions. I highly suggest never buying a car with all the bells and whistles.

I just recently purchased a 1990 cutlas international and it has 360,000 kms and it runs like it was just bought of a showroom floor. I owned a VW passatt with 334,00 kms and so far the olds has out performed the VW. The only concern I have with my olds is the fuel mileage. The international is a great car and I suggest that it be your first choice..

Re Cutlass International.

I have a 1989 Cutlass International, 5 speed manual. Purchased car in 1990, has 375,000 kilometers, engine runs great, 1 alternator, 3rd clutch, original SS exhaust, new rear composite spring. I am currently replacing rear struts, and repairing rust (new metal) on running boards. The car still looks great and am giving to son who picked the car out in 1990 because it had the most number of buttons. (they all still work).

Great Car.
