1992 Oldsmobile Achieva S 2dr Coupe
The SC, with the 3.3 v6 is awesome, it
accelerates quickly and smoothly.
While its not as quick as the SCX, it
holds its own. It takes curves very
well and how many other cars at the
time had electronically adjustable
shocks. You can change the suspension
settings with the touch of a button.
Excellent

1992 Oldsmobile Achieva SCX 2dr Coupe
Not much to say. The car is about as
fun to drive as they get and handles
very well. It is also highly reliable
and I would recomend it to anyone that
is considering this class of car.
Spent a lot of money on this car

1992 Oldsmobile Achieva S 4dr Sedan
This car has needed a lot of new
parts. The most expensive being the
transmission at 25k miles. I've easily
put over $5,000.00 in mechanical work
into this car. The only reason I have
kept it is because the money I have put
into it. Now with Olds going out of
business, I'm better off donating it
then selling it. The car has just been
a putt putt around town car. Never … been
used to drive to work everyday.
