Endless problems
Here it goes, front wheel bearings - $350 each, steering colum - $200, overdirive lock up - $1,300, power window module - $150, ignition coil pack - $400, cup holder won't stay closed, ash tray door won't stay closed, half of rear window defogger doesn't work, AC freon hose broke - $800, lights on steering wheel controls burned out - $52 each... This has been a truly problemmatic car. I gave up a sold, reliable Taurus to get this headache on wheels.
Best Olds yet
I can't wait to drive the car it is just that much of a great performer,smooth,nimble handling,powerful ly silky smooth v8 and just about every thing that makes a great car, is standard . AND it compares well with the cars from Japan. GM would do well to offer this car in one of their existing lines.
Constant Companion
This car is eautiful and very reliable. The only repairs that I have had to make so far are a battery and wiper blade replacement last week. I will probably buy new tires in November. The engine loves to rev but is relatively low on torque. Its ride is a little harsh, but its handling is above average. New tires will probably improve the ride. My only complaint is a rattling sunroof when the shade is partially open. I would probably buy another one if a 5- or 6-speed auto was offered.
Lots of features for the price
This is a great value given the features it provides. Many standard features make it very easy and fun to drive. The 4.0 has lots of power. Handling leans more towards comfort than performance but there is a good balance. Mechanically sound but has been in the shop more than expected for minor cosmetic stuff.
No Problems!
The 4.0 V8 is a dream for those of us who suffered throught the 'Rice Rockets' of the 70s. The engine runs on all grades of gasoline with appropriate performance. Not a sports car, but plenty of guts for passing and accelerating.
