At least it has character.
I got this car from my older sister when she bought a new car. Positive features include good low end torque which makes for surprising acceleration from a stop. Not as good at high speeds however. Lots of trunk room and front seat legroom. Good AC and heating. Negatives include engine head repairs and bad brakes at 120K, malfunctioning locks and a fried window motor, leaky wheel cylinders, and a battery that you can't replace without reprogramming the computer (?!). Also handling is poor and it corners like a vehicle twice its size.
My Old Olds
I bought this car when I was forced to travel between NY and New Hampshire, having little or no money. Many people bash these cars. Mine is very reliable, is not a jewel, but I did more than nine trips between NY and New Hampshire during a four month period. After that I put more miles driving from NY to CT several times. My girlfriend has been driving it from Maine to NY twice during this winter, plus more trips to CT. Many people think that the Olds Cutlass is a piece of junk. This one for me is an ugly jewel, a true blessing for me, because it never let me down while driving from NH to NY during a period in which I had no money to pay mechanics or towing services. It is a shame GM decided to kill Oldsmobile

Workhorse Car
This car is really reliable, there are some trim problems on the doors, but the engine is great, air blows cold, everything seems to be good for a 9 year old car.
Starts to fall apart at 100,000
The car was ok, but around 100,000, everyhing starts to go out at once. This can be a problem for the owner because at this car's age it's not worth putting a lot into, and it can be frustrating to have to shell out a lot of money at once to fix a variety of things. And worse since you will probably spend more to keep it in shape than the car is worth.

My car can be fun to drive, but it now has 240,000 kms on it and it has an oil leak and it is getting oil all over the ignision sensor. That makes it keep Stalling. I bought off my mom at 170,000 kms and it has been a great car. if the oil leak wasn't happening, i would give it a "10" on relibility! there is hardly any rust on it and it runs like a dream.
