"Great car, they should continue making them, but with a new design"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I bought the car, most of the parts had already gone bad; the alternator, and water pump, but had already been replaced.

I've had this car for over a year now, and put about 6-$700 into it.

All of the power windows went out at 130,000.

My ignition switch went out at 134,000.

Had the brakes replaced 129,000.

General comments?

This car is a great car. It has performance, fuel economy, and is very comfortable.

Maybe the body could have been designed for a sportier look.

The car has unbelievable pickup for a 4 cylinder. Keep up on your tuneups and such, and this car should last you a while.

I am still driving my olds achieva sl it has 150,000 miles on it and I have crossed the country from Georgia to Washington state. I purchased the car as a lease buy back so the car was already 2 years old. I have not had a major problem with the car and I plan on keeping the car restoring the paint and keeping it as a classic car. I love this car

Paul.
