nightmare vehicle
I must be the only one to negatively comment on this car but it has not served us well. We had to repair the alternator, engine, ignition, transmission and replace the batterys 3 times turn signals 2 times and coolent compartment 1 time. It only had about 65k miles on it which is bad since this is a total figure. I could see the metal bars behind the seat cloth, the radio sounded bad even with good signal, and I could look down at the road through the rear passenger door. I even nicknamed it the Christmas car because when it did run the engine sounded like jingle bells.
Not bad, something seems fishy though
The only reason i actually got the car is cause of the low mileage, not to mention the $3800 price tag (about $400 under retail value). Access to the oil filter is not that great. At first the ride was near silent, but i can slightly hear the engine now, and on the highway i get the filling that the engine keeps losing power, but overall, the car is much better then my previous one, I hope it lasts at least until 100k. I also ditched the annoying and weak-powered GM radio for a nice powerful Jensen MP3/CD player.
Decent family car
Bought our Cutlass Cruiser wagon 4 years ago with 76K miles, and soon after the only thing it needed was a CD player that was direct fit for GM. It has been a decent used car for us. On a hwy. trip from our home to Nashville in summer, this car happily purred along at 70-75 and got about 29 MPG for the trip, and the AC worked great! Trans. went out at 84K. We rplced it at a local shop with one from a wrecked Ciera with 40K on it (at a cost of about $1,200).
Good riddance
This car is the worst I have ever owned. It left the factory and dealer with a defective oil pan and water pump. The brakes failed at 20,000 miles. Since the warrenty expired it has gone through TWO transmissions, one at 51,000 and again at 59,000, and neither was warrented. The starter went out at 61,000, and the car will be gone next.
Good Reliable Car
I've been very pleased with the reliability of my Olds Cutlass Ciera. I've had very few problems since I've owned it, despite the high mileage that it has.
