1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme review from North America
"The car is a bit grumpy, but will perform reliably if maintained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dashboard displays work at will.
Gas tank float may be stuck at full.
Electronic sensors are unreliable.
The coolant leaks.
The tape player won't eject my tape, and I can't listen to the radio until I get it out.
General comments?
I just bought this car a week ago for $1400.
So far, the bugs I'm experiencing are about the same as other reviews have mentioned.
The car looks great, no rust at all, and when the electronic displays work, the interior is mint.
The shifting is a bit harsh, especially at the first few lights.
The car is not happy to move before the coolant temperature reaches about 40 C. If it's too cold, it will just stall.
This cart has started first shot every cold winter morning, and once it gets going, it's a little tank.
