A pretty great car

This was my first car and I don't think I could have asked for a better one. Felt good to drive and was comfortable, it was a bit dated in styling but is from the mid nineties. While I did have to do some engine work it wasn't anything too bad and the parts were cheap and plentyfull. Honesty wish I never sold it, I would probably still be driving it if I hadn't.

Best, most reliable car I've ever had.

I really miss my Oldsmobile. I had it for 125,000 miles and it finally blew a gasket, but it was really reliable up to that point. Very comfortable too.

Reliable and tough as nails

Rough and tough, this car is more than just an A to B car. It's cheap to maintain and to insure, it's a comfortable ride and an excellent value that has me laughing all the way to the bank when I see so many other people shelling over 400.00 a month in car payment and insurance.

Best Car I've Ever Owned

I bought a used Cutlass Cierra in 2003 and sold it recently, Feb 2010. It had over 230,000 miles on it and was still running good. I loved that car and sure wish I still had it instead of a newer different Make and Model car I recently bought. All cars should be as well made at my Cutlas Ciera was! Wish I could find another one.

Most comfort car I've owned

Comfort, smooth handling, satisfaction on performance. 3.1 Liter engine has better horsepower than 2.2 Liter engine. Less trips to repair shop if vehicle is well maintained. I have 200,000 miles on my vehicle with same engine and transmission. The 'service engine' light came on around 190,000 miles.

A very dependable ride!

These Olds hold up forever and are inexpensive to maintain. I think this one is priced cheaply considering the mileage!
