1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser 3.3L V6 from North America
Summary:
Great car that keeps on running, very few minor repairs
Faults:
At 80,000 miles, the spark plug wires and a coil needed to be replaced.
At 110,000 miles, the starter died and had to be replaced.
The headliner fell down because the glue was giving out, but I glued it back up.
Plastic seat belt buckles broke off, but the seat belts are still functional. Seems like the plastic gets brittle after a while, so plastic things start to break.
General Comments:
This thing had been super reliable, and I would highly recommend this car to anyone. It's a big boat, so it doesn't handle very well, but it's got lots of room and storage.
A lot of the little plastic pieces like the seat belt buckles are falling apart, but it doesn't bother me, as it's my work horse.
My grandfather had one go over 300,000 miles before it finally died.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I am surprised at how often I see these Cutlasses on the road and for sale (often with over 300k kms). They seem to last a long time. And don't seem to rust too bad, even in salty Ontario.
