    Love your ciera and it'll last another 30 year

    To start, I've picked this car up for cheap because it sat for 8 years prior to purchase. New fuel pump and it was up and running. Easy to work on, not simple, but easy. As of 2024 finding parts for this is starting to get hard as rockauto stops stocking certain odds and ends. Common problems with the 3.1 v6 are the lower intake gaskets from the factory are crap and will fail and cause overheating issues. Another common issue with the l82 is the idle will probably be rough eventually on you. The car will run fine, but idle weird. Little simple headaches that come with the cars age but after you change the lower intake gaskets the 3.1 v6 will last well into 200k miles. I know people with 315k+ on theirs and they're original engines with the gaskets changed thats it. Give it iridium plugs and change your oil regularly and this engine will last forever. The 4T60-E transmission will hold up with the engine with regular pan drop and filter change. DO NOT FLUSH THE TRANNY COMPLETELY. Just pan drop, new filter, replace missing fluid with fresh but NEVER flush it completely. As for entertainment purposes, the car comes with 2 6x8's in the rear which can easily be switched to 6x9's. No tools needed. The front speakers are some 3.5" (if I remember correctly) that if you play to high, will blowout like a birthday candle. There no cup holders so get ready for that. Unless you count the useless bumps in the glove box door. Performance wise, the 3.1L v6 L82 has a snail blazing 160 hp. However the car (despite previous reviews claims) being incredibly light (3,086 lbs) it can get out of its own way to pass on the highway if need be, but this ain't no speed demon. 0-60 takes around 12 seconds. Gas mileage is pretty good if you drive correctly and have the engine running right. Overall I love my ciera and have oddly enough even gotten compliments on it. They're good cars but expect them to have issues as these cars approach and surpass 30 years old. Take care of the car and it'll be around for quite sometime.

    Simple, durable car

    It ran well. It was easy to find parts when they needed repair, whether in a junkyard, through stores, or for the mechanic doing the work.

    AWESOME, in every way.

    I absolutely love the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S. It's heavy, so it handles well in snow. The seats are SO comfortable. It handles wonderfully, and has great pick up! I would most definitely recommend this vehicle to someone who lives in the midwest, or anywhere that typically gets a good amount of snow every winter. You definitely get what you pay for, and it's incredibly safe!
