This is my first car owned, however I've driven Chryslers and Fords. I love it, for me it is the overall comfort of the car. I'm often trapped in it for longer periods of time, and love the leather seats, mine are power and that comes highly recommended as well as a record for highly reliable.

For those who don't know this is the last year of the Series I 3.1L V6, the next year GM advanced to the Series III which provided better fuel economy, quicker at higher speeds with some reliability issues. This engine is loaded with low end torque!

225's on the wheels are nice, biggest complaint is the steering. I grew up with newer cars equipped with ABS and I find the steering on the Cutlass Supreme extremely vague. On ice you don't get that feedback that tells you that there's problems, just a tug etc. I have very limited confidence in this car during wintry weather.

Climate control and steering wheel controls are a god-sent. No air-bag, and I don't want one either.

If you're going to buy a GM car, be prepared to pay for GM brakes. Have Calipers cleaned regularly to avoid big costs. I keep on hearing about the positives of using your parking brake to avoid problem, I'd advise doing it.

For me a very predictable car, I tell everyone that if I won the lottery that I'd still own the thing, it would just get all "souped up." I'd love to drive this car forever, but to be honest it's probably only got another two years left on it.

Battery has been tested as dead for 18 months now. I'm not sure what's going on with that. I hope this doesn't cause the alternator to go. But, the charge rate stays constant.

I've replaced most parts with parts from wreckers, things for these cars are available everywhere!

Hello and thank you for all your comments on the Cutlass Supreme SL. I just purchased mine, Cutlass Supreme SL '93 at an auction with the help of a friend. A few dents, dings and a chipped tail lens (major surfing seeking a replacement) This is my first car and I am doing all the research that I can on it. Overall it's a sharp car, sleek with the curved rear windows and also with a spoiler. There does seem to be an oil leak problem in the engine, a burning smell as well after the car is parked. This is trial by fire because I know next to nothing about the mechanics of the engine parts. This site was informative and the comments that I read give me a good sense that the Cutlass is a good preforming used car. Mine has 145,000 and fingers crossed that it will take me a fraction of that distance. Thanks All.

These cars are VERY good in the snow & ice, they are front wheel drive and very heavy with limited acceleration power making them handle excellent on snow and ice. The tug you speak of means you should slow down.
