This car is truely the swiss army knife of cars. It has 8 seat belts, and the back seats fold forward to make a nice flat surface. you can slide a sheet of 4x8 plywood no problem, once I carried 13 sheets of sheet rock by removing some trim. I just drove back from cape cod to NJ and got 27.8 mpg. This car has 275,000 miles with the original transmission "tmh440". One problem, it's 20 years old. This review is for all the yuppies driving a $50,000 car that gets 12mpg. maybe these type of cars will come back in style?

Very dependable, low maintanence. Very good handling on the road and comfortable. Only problem is I had to replace three alternators over a 14 years of ownership. I am currently replacing with 156,000 miles + and if I could purchase the same vehicle today (new), I would not think twice about it.

I bought this car from my uncle, and it is the best thing ever. It's my frst car, but I give it a perfect 10 in every respect. For some reason, I was attracted to this from a Pontiac Firebird. I guess its because of the economy.
excellent choice

this is my 2nd cutlas and love it. i put an average of 40,000 miles on my car each year, and this one is still goin strong at almost 250,000. only problems i have had with this car are a small oil leak (no burning), the seam on the gas tank leaks, and problems with the struts (due to all the potholes and bad roads i drive on)and i'm looking forward to getting my gas milage back once i get the tank fixed (before the leak i was getting about 500 miles per tank on the highway)
14 years of Power. 14 more to go.

I have had this car for almost 14 years. It still runs great. Maybe you people should learn to take car of cars so they last longer. I never had one major problem with it.
2.8L is a Contradiction

The Cutlass Ciera that I owned was a 4 door with the 2.8L and auto trans. The A/C was great, and the car was peppy and fun to drive. Great gas mileage and room for my family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children under 10yrs). The major problem I had was a head gasket that popped out the side of the engine that would leak antifreeze. The seats were of poor quality and had to have pillows to support the back. The front bench seat was uncomfortable on long trips, and the dashboard was very loose and rattled on interstate trips.
Reliable ride

After searching for an affordable used car, oldsmobile's cutlass ciera jumped out at me. It's not flashy, but it isn't hideous either. It has about 125,000 miles and is still running strong.
Great Car!

It has been a very well built, reliable vehicle, that we drove for 145,000 miles of its 194,000. Only problems have been with occasional need to replace radiator, replaced cruise control, and some brake concerns, that were never a safety issue. At less than $7000, it was a fantastic buy for us. It wasn't washed enough so it has some rust issues.
Good car for its age

A great car, comfortable and well equipped. Pretty reliable and cheap parts (very cheap) available. Good stability and again, very comfortable. Great value for money.

My Grandfather bought the car brand new in 1990. After his death he handed the car down to my parents. Few years later I recieved the car. It has lasted 13 years in my family and there has been no major problems. the biggest repair that was done to it was merely new brakes, and that was just a few months ago. This car is always dependable, it hasn't failed 3 generations yet.
worth it

I bought this car for $600. Bought it because my girlfriend didnt want to buy a car so i bought a cheap one to replace the car i had sold her for the same price, which was also an olds cutlass ciera. Best investment i ever made, twice. Both were used and abused before i bought them and both just loved me because I have had only a few problems. always started. the biggest plus. used it while in my band and hauled equipment all the time with no signs of fatigue. even helped a buddy move, packed the car, 4 people and 1 baby, and most their belongings. able to drive 80,(tops off at 85) for 4 hours and 80 4 hrs back home straight with no signs of fade or pain.
Still runs like a champ after 13 years!

I got this car at 42,000 miles from my Grandpa Angelo in '96, and the car has been running great since then(118K now). Very few problems with this car- had some fuel injector minor issues at 60K, and the thing has never really had great brakes. Motor mounts are starting to fade and just last week my driver's side front power window relay switch panel stopped working. Other than that, it has been a joy- couldn't ask for a more reliable car!
good car

I got the car from my parents and now 13 years later it has 209000 miles on the old girl. The car still does not burn any oil. the only thing i have done beside the routine stuff is change the alternator,starter, and a couple fuel infectors, but what do you expect its got 209000 miles on it.

I bought this car with 70000 k and it has never let me down. Other than brakes and exhaust (which is standard) I haven't had to do anything in the past 6 years. It now has about 200000 k and still runs fine. I would buy another oldsmobile anytime.
this is the most un-reliable car ever

This was a great car. With the 3.3 v6, this car had very nice acceleration. It was comfy inside, looked very nice. The outside looked nice, with only a little rust in a couple spots. It lasted a long time, until i got my 16 year old hands on it a year ago. I drove it until the transmission started having problems a couple weeks ago, then died completely, and i think that smashing the gas pedal to the floor all of the time took its toll. Other than that, it ran great, no engine problems, everything worked, except the inside drivers door handle, which for no apparent reason broke as soon as i pulled on it. With my driving, you'd imagine that my mpg wouldn't be great.

I have the V6 version, and I think if it didn't have its quick, get-up-and-go, I'd get rid of it right away! I don't like this car at all!
STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!!

i wouldnt buy another oldsmobile if the fate of the know universe was in the balance! not only are they ugly, they are very unreliable ( i've had 3 separate car fires!). and if your a do it your-self type like me you will end up with nothing but a migrane. whoever designed the engine layout should be shot in the nuts!
