1978 Oldsmobile Omega review from North America
"Best car I've owned other than a Nova!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I needed to replace the $4 fuel filter twice.
General comments?
The car sat for some time before I bought it. Since I've had the car it has run excellently!
She runs strong, handles well (for thirty-year old engineering/suspension) and is just as fuel-efficient as the newer cars getting 17 MPG.
The only thing that could make it better is if it had the Chevy Moniker.
