1995 Oldsmobile Achieva S 4dr Sedan
I have the Achieva 3.1L 6cyl. It's a
fine car--always starts, always runs,
strong engine. Handles quite well, no
squeaks or rattles at 123,000 miles. No
rust at all and paint quality is
fantastic. Exhaust has lasted over 60k
miles too! Easily equal to an Accord of
the same vintage. My car drinks coolant
faster than a Green Bay Packer guzzles
gatorade--I can't find the … leak,
probably the water pump, no big deal.
Its no Porche but its sure close.

1995 Oldsmobile Achieva S 2dr Coupe
I really like to drive this car. its fun with the five speed manual. I can beat some imports on the "strip". Pretty reliable but can have some problems. Its lasted for 190,000 miles of joy riding and highway trips. All around good car.
Decent Car

1995 Oldsmobile Achieva S 2dr Coupe
This is a decent car. Not as bad as
some people say, not as good as other
Japanese cars. Quad 4 engine working
well for me but supposedly not very
good engine.
Not fun, but it's a fighter

1995 Oldsmobile Achieva S 4dr Sedan
I have had this car now about 2 1/2
years now, and I have not had a
problem yet. It has over 130 000 miles
on it and it just keeps on going. It's
not pretty and the interior is not fun
either. Handling is OK and braking the
same. I just hope that my next car
will just as reliable as this one.
