1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera International Series 4-D 3.3 V6 from North America
Summary:
This is a really great car for anyone... any age...a man or woman... its great!
Faults:
My Cruise Control vacuum went out at 151000.
Paint on roof is terrible, just scratched in other places, looks nice at night...
Catalytic converter is loose and rattles when idle, must tighten, no biggie.
Just did a tune up, did the thermostat, hoses, plugs, and wires.
I put Double Platinum Plugs in.
When purchased, Air Conditioning was found to be non functional because the previous owner had half-converted the A/C from 12-134 and did not finish, had to remove the fuse because it was making a horrible metal clanking sound every 5 seconds.
Makes a cracking sound caused by bad bearings in the belt wheel on the Power Steering.
General Comments:
This car is so powerful!!! It is amazing, the car's specs say that it has 160 Horsepower, it really feels like it has significantly more than that.
The interior is PERFECT! The seats have not one rip, not faded, VERY comfortable.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Glad to hear. We just got one for our son to drive. It, too, has had some mechanical problems, but the body and interior look great. The previous owner had just put on some Goodyear Eagle tires, and had it service regularly. He gave me all the service papers with it so we know whats been done. My son loves the sound it makes when you rev it a little.
