1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 4 door Pillarless 5.7 V8 Rocket from North America
Summary:
OMG You gotta drive my car
Faults:
The transmission went out when I first purchased the car, but only after driving about 200 miles home, but it was my own fault. I should have changed the filter and fluid before the long drive, but let it go and paid the $1100 for the tranny rebuild, which isn't bad at all as far as transmissions go.
Everything still works, including the power seats and the damn radio!
General Comments:
I love this car. It was my first American car and I don't plan on selling it anytime soon. It always starts, whether it's 95 degrees or -30 in the winter, just a touch of the key and it fires right up.
Power is fabulous, highway and from the line. MPG is painfully terrible, would probably be better if I kept my foot out of it.
The interior is near perfect after 35 years and 120000 miles. Does surprisingly well in snow and seats nine.
The handling is a little sloppy, but this is a 4 door, and the springs and shocks are near needing replacing.
All in all, the best car the USA ever produced.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
