1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera GT (4 door) from North America - Comments

AC hose.

Timing chain.

Tranny slipped a little.

Cruise failed after a while.

Engine and transmission problems could be attributed to my own rough driving.

Limited production (3200 4-Dr GTs made).

The 3.8 motor was full of low end power and it often begged for quick starts off the line and I obliged with a terrific whoosh. Of course I mostly stayed at the speed limit, just enjoyed getting to it quickly in that car. I surprised many V8 muscle cars in my old 87 Ciera GT. Plus it had a heavy duty suspension, brakes and cooling.

With a gauge package, center console, sun roof and full power options it was a world class machine, a real sleeper. The GT's only came in Black, Grey or Burgundy with silver rocker panel flares that were GT only and alloy wire like wheels and the Ciera model with composite headlights and fog lights.

I am always looking for another one, my first one was traded in at my wife's request!

PS. If you get a Ciera GT - don't do what I did: I replaced the stock steering wheel with a Grant Custom GT wheel in black that resembled a GT wheel of a factory type but the grip was thicker and the diameter a little smaller- I just started driving even faster!!

I live in Newfoundland Canada, and I own a 87 Cutlass Ciera with 296,000 kms. In my opion it is the best car ever made, it has a 2.8 V6 engine, 4 doors and there is no rust to be found anywhere on the car despite all the road salt that is used in Newfoundland.

It runs like a new car and rides even better, it has lots of power and is very fun to drive. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a second hand car, if they're looked after properly they will last forever.

I have never had any major problems except for the rack steering went last month and that's the biggest problem to date I have ever had with this car.

Oldsmobile in my opinion made the best cars ever put on the road, and I am very sad to see their name being removed from General motors list of fine automobiles, but who knows maybe 20 years down the road they'll suprise us all and return to making quality automobiles.

I paid $500 for an '87 Cutlass Ciera last year. That was the best $500 I ever spent. She's midnight black with no rust. This has to be the best damn car GM made. EVER! A much better car than that garbage Corolla I used to own. The only problem I've had was the ignition coil needing replacement. No biggie, wear and tear at 14 years old. Even though she only has the 2.5 Tech 4, she's a smooth ride. I've actually won a fair share of races. How about that?

I have to agree with the other comments. I have a 1987 Olds Cutlass Ciera GT. I purchased it seven years ago & in spite of poor maintenance by the original owner, the car still looks good & performs well.

HI I just bought an 1986 Cutless Ciera GT, from these people my dad knew from work it is in real nice shapeit only has 62,000 miles on it it is smoky grey with light grey rocker panels it has a real nice clean engin I only spent $1,000 Dollars on it, but I think my dad did well in picking this car for me.

I am the proud owner of an '89 Oldsmobile Cutless Ciera. I am so in love with this car!! This car is such a trooper!! I find it handles especially well in the snow, unlike other cars. I would definately recommned this car to anyone else. God forbid anything happens to this car, but if it does I will be looking for another Cutless.

I have bought an 1987 oldsmobile cutless,and I am only 16 years old. I got the car off a man in Cambridge Ont. The man offerd me a deal, he sold me an 1985 regel 350 as well with the oldsmobile cutless 350 for only $500 for both. I would have to agree with the man that said it was the best $500 he had ever spent. Not only do I have two cars, but I have two awsome cars.

I have a question in regards to the production numbers for the Ciera GT's for 1987. I saw a stat that said 3200 4-drs were made. Does anybody have a number on the 2-drs? We had one and should have never sold it!!! Email me at Cnvrtbl442@aol.com THANKS!!!

My dad bought a 1986 Cutlass Ciera GT back in '86 and now its my car to drive. Even though she's 21 years old, she can run against most other cars on the road! if anyone is ever able to acquire one of these magnificent cars I recommend it. it might be the best purchase of your life.
