1994 Oldsmobile LSS 3.8 V6 from North America
Summary:
Comfortable, economical, fun to drive
Faults:
Alternator went out in 2000 and again in 2002.
ABS system quit working in 2001 (brakes still work, just not anti-lock)
Main computer failed in 2002.
PassKey anti-theft system failed in 2003, leaving the car disabled until the chip reader module and ignition switch were replaced to the tune of $327.
The power door lock actuators have failed on three of the four doors.
General Comments:
'LSS' stands for 'Luxury Sports Sedan' and they put the 'L' first for good reason. It's more of a luxury car than a sports car, but it's still fun to drive.
Good performance, plenty of room and 28mpg on the highway--a winning combination.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

This reviewer seems to be unsure of what kind of car he/she has, keeps calling it a Chevy (?)
And somebody must have been doing some serious driving to have racked up 141,000 miles in just a year after the car was built (actually less than that because the LSS did not appear until mid-1992)
