Review
I bought my Olds in 2002, it has been a pretty dependable car except its air conditioning system seems strange, as well as the problems I have with the drivers side door handle. I have replaced it and it seems to have them same problem only after a year. The air conditioner also seems to go off when going up hills. Also my cd player steals my cd's. I put one in and I might get it back that day or maybe a week later. Who knows?
Favorite Features
It drives so smooth! When the cd player works it sounds good!

I have owned my Cutlass for over ten years. Mileage to date is just over 207,000. I have had to do the regular maintenance repairs--intake manifold gasket (which I discovered has been replaced by a higher quality gasket); various sensors; injectors cleaned. Head gasket began leaking around 140,000 miles; catalytic converter replaced at 180,000 just to be preventive; tranny was replaced right at 200,000 miles. All in all, this car has been very reliable--even predictable in its repairs. More than one mechanic has asked me to buy it. My response? "NO WAY!" She still looks and sounds like new!
Favorite Features
Design of the interior is perfect, everything just in reach without the dash being in your face. Good use of space on GM's part.
Suggested Improvements
More room for engine access, about 4 inches would be great! (That middle back spark plug is a bear!!)

...despite meticulous upkeep.
Acceleration, braking, and turning
similar to sinking garbage barge. Same
barge must have been the source for
parts, too - worst build quality I've
ever seen. Reliability, maintainability
were a joke: After two alternators, a
dozen brake rotors, an oil leak, a
vacuum leak, a hundred other problems,
and finally the fuel pump (on a four
year old car!), the maintenance costs
were killing me.
Favorite Features
The exterior was a jem. Too bad beauty
was only skin-deep.
Suggested Improvements
GM already made the only possible
improvement: killing off Oldsmobile.

I bought my 2-door cutlass supreme
with 72k miles on it. until recently I
was quite impressed. The car really
pulls double duty as a sports car and
as a smooth riding family type car.
But it has fallen apart under me.
There is a problem with the brake
lock, and I have a hard time shifting
it out of park, and the real problem
is that GM had a bad year with
gaskets. Unfortunatly for me I ended
up draining radiator fluid into the
engine and it is now dead. A dead car
at 92k miles is not what i expected.
I don't think most people will
get hit with an engine swap, but I
really just wanted people to know
about the problem.
Favorite Features
Sporty, smooth, comfortable. Killer
sound system. Fairly good gas milage.
Suggested Improvements
umm.... the engine is dead.....not
even 100k miles.

when i first got my car i had a lot of
things go wrong with it, but now
everything is working perfectly. i love
the way it handels, but i think that
2nd gear is set at to low of a ratio.
mine is a 96 with a 3.1. but i have
managed to get it up to around 200hp. i
also love the 5 spoke wheels that came
with it. im going to get some 17's or
18's in the near future. screw a system
this car already sounds awsome with out
it.
Favorite Features
i like the sound system, and the
wheels, but that's just the exterior. i
absoultely love the inside i just wish
i could have the leather in mine
Suggested Improvements
every car could use some pep to it, but
this car just needs a little more. i
put in a K and N filter in mine, along
with a supercharger.

This Car still gets glances for its
modern styling. Many people do not know
what kind of car it is and think it is
a foreign sporty car.
Often people can't get in because the
door knobs are not in the normal place.
Also, due to its styling it appears
smaller than it really is.
Favorite Features
Styling is my favority feature. It is
an ageless design and modern and sporty.
Very reliable and easy handling.
Suggested Improvements
Would like to have a more powerful
engine. I believe one was available as
an option, but my car has the 3.1 L V6

I love this car. I've had two and
wouldn't trade it for anything. Only
problems I've had are with the brakes,
they seem kinda hard to me. Oh well,
I'll make do with

I purchased my second Cutlass Supreme
last spring and wouldn't choose
anything else. I have had squeaky
brakes that the mechanic blames on GM
for having a bad break year, and I had
a leak in my back window that cost a
few bucks, but all in all the engine is
solid, handles great, and I already
have my dad asking to buy it when I'm
ready for something else. Dream on
dad.. it is mine!!
Favorite Features
Soft ride, good power, stylish dash,
sturdy cup holders

dual exhaust like the '96 Grand Prix
would have been nice

I purchased this vehicle with 42,000
miles and after almost 4 years, this
has been the best car I have ever
owned. I have owned 22 cars in the past
35 years and yes, this is the longest I
have kept one. I love the ride, the
handling is like a sport car, also
great on those long trips. The cup
holder is situated at the absolute
right place. I have driven this to
105,000 with no repairs other than
tires, brakes, and headlights. The car
burns no oil, is as tight as the day I
bought it. I just gave it to my 20
year old son who thinks this car is
cool. I would buy another in a minute
and I wish GM still made them.
Favorite Features
HANDLES LIKE A SPORT CAR YET SOFT RIDE,
GOOD POWER, GREAT STEREO SOUND, 2 CUP
HOLDER BETWEEN DRIVER AND
PASSENGER/GREAT LOCATION. GREAT GAS
MILEAGE.

I have owned MANY used cars, and by far this one is my favorite. Driven almost daily, used also for long road trips. I am amazed with the comfort, handling, response, and over all feel of this auto. Like I said, I have owned many cars, including Cutlasses, but this one is different. When I bought it used ( 48,000 mi), the first test spin I took, I told my wife, " this car feels good, real good, its right", and I bought it. I haven't had a single problem with it at 82,000 miles. I get @32 mpg on a road trip averaging 70mph. AWESOME! I recommend this car over my wife's Accord anyday. Way to go GM. I wish you weren't going to discontinue the Old's line.
Favorite Features
Interior design, feel, handling, response, gas mileage. This 3.1 has plenty of scoot and gets great gas mileage.
Suggested Improvements
Add a rear spoiler and ground effects for styling.
