My 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera

I have had the car for 1 year and 8 months now. I bought it with 80,000 miles on it in January of 2002. It currently has more than 112,500 miles and is still running in great order. It is more reliable than any other car I have owned(a 1993 Ford Taurus and a 1993 Dodge Shadow). I'd also recommend it over the Camry and Accord(I have friends with both of those cars and they have not been as satisfied as they hoped they would be).

One radiator, one fuel line, one harmonic balancer, one front axle, and a radio that hated below 20* F weather. Front and rear shocks/struts once or twice. A couple of brake jobs. Drove car from when it had 106,000 miles until 332,000 miles. Wiring to vanity mirror lights was brittle and as well as wiring to driver door power window motor. Trusted every day commuting vehicle with a good amount (not great) of pulling power / torque. Overall 26 MPG on 33/33/33% city/rural/highway driving. Ended up getting several typical repair/maintenance issues converging upon inspection time so we retired the Ciera at that point.

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.

91 Olds Ciera

Purchased at 100,000 miles. Had been well used, but maintained. Service engine light on, local GM dealer unable to provide a reasonable cost estimate. Rear brakes binding to drum, no holes in backing plate to loosen the shoes, needed to rip drum off of car, added to cost of repair. Driver's seat springs broken, have had other vehicle in excess of 200,000 without this problem. Power window wires all broken at bellows on L/F door. Common problem with GM cars. Expensive repair ($200).
