1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon review from North America
"A powerful yet gentle beast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Small things are going - radio, clock, wind sieild washer tube. We had the front steering system rebuilt last year as well as the brakes redone. This is not a major issue though as it is the first time it has been done to my knowledge.
General comments?
This car is wonderful! It guzzles a lot of gas, but has a wonderful heater in the winter and starts quite reliably. I floats down the road and has LOTS of power and amazing pick up which makes it fun to speed past teenagers in sports cars that can't keep up with this V8. I would feel safe if I was ever in an accident in this car because it is solidly built.
