1994 Oldsmobile Achieva S 3.1L OHV V6 from North America
Summary:
It's my quick and sporty
Faults:
I bought the car knowing full well that one of the cylinder heads was cracked (My uncle owned the car so I knew it had been well taken care of otherwise, but it had been remedied with a temporary fix. About a year after buying the car, the fix blew, and I had to have it replaced for about 100 dollars.
110,000 Miles: Tune Up ($250)
General Comments:
The 160HP 3.1L V6 provides plenty of Power.
Front seats are spacious and very comfortable, but rear seats are somewhat lacking in legroom.
Steers very well.
I once ran the car to 100MPh and I don't doubt it could achieve the 120MPh Mark on the speedometer.
The 15 inch alloy wheels and spoiler along with custom chrome exhaust tip give it a cool, sporty appearance.
The radio is very easy to use and set, and the speakers provide good sound.
Cruise control is easy to use, and works wonderfully.
Green is a good color for this car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I too have a 1994 Olds Achieva with rain water leaking in somewhere from behind the firewall. I haven't had a chance to remove the air intake cowling below the windshield to see where the leak is. A windshield installer told me that it is common for the 'heater box' to leak and often needs only to be caulked to seal it. I hope this works. I will try to update when I have a chance to get into it.
