Brakes (fronts twice) rears (once)
Calipers (of course) common on this model.
Battery (once)

General Comments:
Love my Cutlass. It's been just as good to me as my old Celebrity was. Guess GM may have taken the Japanese seriously in this past decade.
I purchased this car used and other than the normal wear and tear items listed it has performed religiously.
I plan to keep mine at least another year...150k or bust!
Car was well worth my original $4500 I payed 6 years ago and other than the oil leak (which is common on the 3.1 and expensive to fix) I've been very pleased.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

S coupe model. Has 4 speed auto. Replaced fluid at 110K. Works like a champ.
Also forgot to tell about the $28 headlamps. Thought those were a bit expensive. Replaced 2.
