1992 Oldsmobile Achieva SC 3.3L from North America
Summary:
For what I paid I expected just a little more
Faults:
The day I was test driving the car I was on my way home to get paper work when it over heated to like 280 plus. So I called the dealership and they came and towed it and supposedly fixed it. When I got it back the engine temp. bounced from like 160-220 all the time until one night I was on my way home when it started getting way up past 260 heading to 280. The following Monday I was on the phone with the dealership and they came and got it and replaced the radiator and haven't had a problem with it since. That all happened within 111,000. Now the front struts are bad and my warranty is gone so I'm on my own to get that fixed.
General Comments:
I love the car. It runs great handles like a sports car. But it doesn't accelerate all that great. I believe it to be caused by a semi-tired motor that needs to be replaced.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I have the same exact Achieva, year and engine, have you ever had any trouble with the car stalling, or dying? Right now that is my problem and we can't quite put our finger on it. I love my car, but have to get it fixed.
