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.

I've had this 1995 red car for 6 years in Michigana mini-limo with a formal rear quarter post, and a cool car for attempted seduction. It's roomy enough for our garage band & some stuff. Its body shows rust spots around the wheel wells & where trim pieces attach. I replaced the engine when the crankcase lost all its oil (my fault). It won't always turn left from a stop (it used to), and the tranny has problems. One window motor no longer works. The console lid is split 'cause I use it to lever me out of a very low- slung seat. My biggest complaint is there's no place to put toll coins, which end up all over the floor & scares people when I dive for 'em.

This car came with the standard 3.1 Liter V6 Engine,AC,ABS brakes,and automatic transmission. It is the perfect car for driving around town. I bought the car new and have over 135,000 miles on it. It still drives like a new car with excellent gas mileage.The only thing not working is cruise control, and I don't care because most of my driving is in stop and go city traffic. I've had to replace the battery several times and the "service engine soon" light stays on all the time. A mechanic told me the light is a problem in the car's computer system-nothing is wrong with the car. I really enjoy this car and intend to keep it for many years to come!
This vehicle served me well

I purchased this vehicle as a buy-back rental. The transmission lasted 128,000 miles; the only engine problem is a short tube costing $5 to replace. I've been able to move belongings for 4 major moves, including state-to-state. It looks like there's lots more life in this car!

Very high performance up until this year. Now I am trading my Olds only because mechanically unsound. But I have gotten good performance up till now.
