i bought this car thinking it was a gem, some of my family members had the same vehicle and it lasted a long time. i found one with a little rust and only 75k and snatched it up for 2500. 2 months afterwards it started idling really rough, eventually sputtering and stalling. mechanics said it was a mass airflow sensor. i replaced it and it ran fine for 4 days, then the same issue came back. it sounds like the idle bounces, and it has a whine in it. usually i call it a "death rattle" but i know this car has a lot of life left in it. any suggestions on what to look for as a far as repairs?
Cutlass' are GREAT!!!

I live in central NY. This is a GREAT car for any one, Its quick with a V6 3100 engine, goes thrugh snow great with snow tires, and will start when its -20F degrees(It starts slow at -20 but it starts) it has some minor rocker nois from the valve train and thats it. Soon after i purchased the car the EGR valve went but it was under warenty. it has minor rust in usual spots, nothing major. The man that owned the car befor me was about 80 years old and i am 18 and i love the car as much as he did!

Was reluctant to buy from private party with 144,000 miles on it, however, this wagon was one owner, like new condition including upholstery, mats and exterior body and paint, garage kept, owner had all service records showing reg. oil changes every 3,000 miles and driven by a female shool teacher whose husband was an auto enthusiast. Asking price 8/2004 was $2,500, but I offered and paid $2,000. I drove it on a 3000 mile trip on mostly Interstate highways with only gasoline expense at an average of 25 mpg, with cruise control set around 75 mph. Oil and fluid levels were all full to start, and remained nearly full at the end of the trip, showed no leaks. Quick response accelerator & brakes.

This is an amazingly reliable car. I purchased mine about 3 1/2 years ago with 150,000 on it, it now has over 195,000 and the only problems I've ever had were basic wear and tear (brakes, alternator, blower motor, etc.) While it doesn't have as much power as a Lamborghini, it still provides more than enough. Mileage is good, starts up every time, even at almost 200,000 miles. Not the easiest car to work on for the do-it-yourself person but not hard either. Headliner needed replacing when I bought it but it's a cheap problem.
i hate to part with it

I got this car for my 16th birthday. It's great for Young drivers very easy to drive. But agreeing with other reviews it's age is catching up with it. Needs a little more attention than I can provide. It's been extremely reliable over the last 4 years though. I love this car but it's time for me to get something newer.
All around, good solid vehicle

I purchased this car because I wanted a good driving, good performing sedan. That's what I bought ten years ago and that's what I still have. I have driven this car countless times on long rode trips exceeding 600 miles, driven with six people in the car comfortably, and even loaded it up a few times to go to some good camp sites. It still blows out cold air from the AC, and can still pick up the speed when needed. The only problems I have had with the car have been minor electrical ones. The driver window will get stuck if rolled down all the way, headlight switch became loose once and could not operate the headlights, and the alternator has needed to be replaced twice.

I owned this beast of an automobile for 5 years. In these 5 years I had the time of my life driving this hunk of steel through mayhem. I have been in a few accidents in my lifetime. I have drifted in this car, i have ran over curbs sideways in this car and even plowed down a traffic sign in this car with not one scratch. Believe me when i tell you, this is not your ordinary car, it is definately a TANK. I was only in one car accident with this car in which a driver rear ended me tearing their entire bumper and headlights off. Not a scratch on my end. Not to mention the accidental time i took a detour through Baltimore Maryland and caught 2 bullets in the passenger side door. The police told me i was lucky, but i dont believe in luck. I believe in the ugly hunk of steel named the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. It is moderately comfortable with almost living room couch like seating, and a sway cieling fabric that is sure to droop as the glue wears off. But style isnt what the Ciera is about. If you want to drive a brick that will most certainly demolish any obsticles in its path then the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera is your best bet.

i bought this car for $500 with 189,000 miles on it. the wheel bearing was bad and it needed a tune up. normal wear and tear. the 3.1 v6 is impressive for the miles it has on it. i ran it with 1 quart of oil with that had some gas in it and it still got up and went without a problem! once i discovered what was wrong, i got it fixed and this car doesn't quit. it starts every morning without a problem. it rides so smooth like it glides across the road. it was even smooth at 100mph. this is an all around great car and it will pretty much run forever
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.

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

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.

Bought this car a year ago with 113k miles on it from a friend. Lots of new parts. Figured it would last awhile. After putting less than 3k on it, the frame rotted out by the passenger rear wheel. Went to several places that make auto welding repairs, and they all said that since it was a unibody, it was unrepairable and to junk it. Same thing happened to my brother's 1995 Ciera at 188k. Up until this point, it was a great car.

It's terrible that GM is discontinuing the Oldsmobile brand. If GM would give the brand back it's distinction from Chevy, Oldsmobile would be around for another hundred years. My Cutlass Cierra S is reliable, comfortable and cheap to own. Lots of interior room for my dog, Max, too.

I've owned this car since day one and it has always been a reliable drive. She has 167,000 miles on her now and it still drives smooth. Great 3.1L engine that doesn't want to stop. Although it may need work on the head gasket very soon. Has only required general maintenance for a car of this age..ie new drive belt, brakes, fuel pump, water pump,and oil changes.

I got this car with 58K miles on it & about 8 months ago, i started having problems w/ it. It started sputtering one day & stalled out, & since that day it has not been reliable. While i am driving, it will stall & sometimes it sputters too. I can throw it into neutral & start it back up with out even stopping. Sometimes it will do this the whole ride, & sometimes it will only do it once or twice. If i start it up & let it run for about 15 mins before i drive it, it won't stall at all. I've had up to date oil changes since i got it, it was in perfect condition when i got it. Since these problems, i had the spark plugs changed, had 2 mechanics look @ it and they don't see anything wrong.

I am approaching 92000 miles, and age is taking its toll more then miles. Besides basic maintenance, I have had to fix a leaky power steering hose, ac compressor, have fuel injectors cleaned, but that is about it. The car always starts. When you first start it in the morning the engine is sort of noisy. It sounds like the valve train. Who cares. The 3.1V6 has decent power. The car doesn't handle all that well. It feels like the car corners like a car twice its size. The turning radius is rather large for a car this size too. It is noticeable when parking in a lot.
Nostalgia for the days of Olds!!!

I loved Cutlasses since my first one in the early 90's. It was an '81 Supreme, and ending up owning two other Supremes also. Now, that was a BE-U-TIFUL car. I yearned for a '68/'69, but that was a little out of my price range back then. BUT we are not here to talk about those, we are here because I found myself 25 years later, owning a Cutlass again. Of course, this is the Ciera, meaning it is more of a family car than a sports car. The nice thing is that GM didn't forget that those parents grew up in a time of sports cars when they chose the engine for this car. It has power no doubt, and should be expected when you put a 6-cyl in a small car like that. I was the typical mom driving a bad-a** minivan, that was powerful, comfortable, and great for camping, but it lost all it's water on the way home one night, and cracked the head. I was in desperate need, and came across an ad for a '94 Cutlass Ciera with 200,000 miles for $500. A year later, my friends and I joke that I bought a stereo and got the car for free. Installed in the dash is a Kenwood color-changing, USB, Bluetooth, (w/microphone installed at the edge of the window for calls), Pandora, Sirius, etc. ready stereo. So, as you can imagine, the $500 I shelled out is probably close to the price tag on the car stereo. The car has been reliable, aside from the fuel pump suddenly going out, and a power steering hi-pressure hose leak. I had it on the Interstate doing the speed limit in our state, 85 mph on a 2 hour trip. No problems. The battery is weak so it needs a little help on cold mornings to wake up, but after that, it is fine. I am replacing it with a good used one, because last time I put a new battery in a vehicle, it took a s**t on me. Superstitious, maybe? but I need the old girl to keep running for awhile, because it becomes my son's when I replace the van this spring. I agree the gas mileage is not spectacular, but it is probably in need of good tune-up before I can judge it too harshly. I love that it came with all the amenities, power everything including driver's seat with three separate switches so you definitely are comfortable. One other problem, the front windows do not go down, and when I attempted to check it out, I suddenly realized just how much steel I am encased in. People keep describing it as a tank, but most of them have no idea how true that statement is. I feel very secure in the car, because someone hits me with a new vehicle, I probably won't even feel it, and the car sure won't show it. That is when they actually built a car for longevity, not to be replaced every couple years. As stated by many, the trunk can hold two or three "dead bodies", as that is how trunks were described when I was growing up in the Midwest. It is old but the interior is in excellent condition for being 25 years old, and my original remote still works to open the doors and trunk. My son and I are 6'0"+, so maneuvering in and out can be hectic, when we were used to my '06 Dodge Caravan. Not much more to say, except Dodge brought back all the classic sports car names and revamped them (and laughing all the way to the bank since GM and Ford just stick with one or two classic names), and I think GM needs to do the same with Oldsmobile. Come on Detroit! Have you forgotten what cars used to be about! It wasn't always about hauling the family around, and fuel economy, or autonomous electric. It was about pride, and status, and FUN more than anything! Nostalgia can have a funny effect on wallets, especially since most of the ones who remember are around middle age. I would love to see a "true sports" car from GM and the 2020 Oldsmobile Cutlass would be Supreme. ;-) Enough chatter, no matter your opinion, minus a couple hiccups for a car older than my children, and 200,000 miles, it has been a reliable, safe mode of transportation and, hopefully, will continue to be for my son next year. 2020 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme: Get on it GM!!!

Got this Ciera as a second car and have been but satisfied. I'm a little confused by a few of the negative reviews because for a mid 90's car this one is well built, drives nicely, the fuel economy is not up to 2009 levels but that is to be expected. It is comfortable. This one is a SL model so it has a/c, tilt wheel, power windows, power locks, cruise control, power mirrors, power drivers seat, and remote keyless entry. bought the car with 82,000 miles not has 93,000 other than oil changes have only done a few things cause i am picky. (new back shocks, replaced factory cassette stereo with a cd unit, new spark plugs and spark plug wires.) As said before is a really good car for the money.

I'm 17 yrs. old, got this as my first car. it was wrecked on the freeway during icy conditions and survived!!! I put a new front clip on and it's like new (well, for a 15 yr. old car!) Fully loaded with all features, fairly easy to service stupid things (like the antenna that I broke). Mine wasn't broken in properly and has to be warmed up before taking off, but i got a remote starter to take care of that. A/C still works, brakes don't seem to wear out that fast, and it starts everyday. Sure, im not driving the coolest car at school, but hey, it goes. I have had the car up to around 80-85 and not even know it(gotta be careful), VERY smooth riding

Bought the car for $1100.00 at 29K!!! Mint inside everything original. Power driver seat added a brand new CD Player. Needed a Rack & Pinion, oil pan, rear brakes & lines. My brother did the rack for $200.00 mechanics charge $1000.00+ parts! My brother also did the Brand new oil pan too for free. The car sat for a while before I got it. I found the original window sticker $14,995.00 and receits from 3 mo ago for belts wheel cylinders exaust and more over $2k in work+ new tires! Guess they diddnt want to finish the bigger jobs! my gain! I love the car and Im painting it soon! Has surface rust on doors and rear wells, also front wells but got brand new front fenders for $250 Love it!!!

Well This car was bought by my father in 1998 and was given to me in 2008. its still on the road running top notch, its had alot of rust problems and issues with the power steering and brake fluid lines. from reading these reviews thats typical. the seats are a joy to sit in, the handling isnt great and could be much better seeing as it isnt a cadillac. it is very peppy passing vehicles on highway and is fun to drive around the city. very loud but i love it sounds like muscle to me. wish that olds was stil around and making these beauty's.

I cant complain to much the car was free with only 25000 miles! it was a gift from my great aunt, knew since it sat there for 20 years it would need some work but anything and everything seems to be failing the longer i have it. (new oil/tranny gaskets, ac compressor, ac lines.) alternator is about to go out. it runs well very nice ride for the moments nothing is wrong but to much hassle for an ugly cheap gm product of the 90s

The only thing I just got replaced is the engine mount, which originally cost about $500 but my mechanic is doing it for $260! I would get this car again if I could but I'm going to keep it until the wheels fall off! The power is great!

I bought this car from a private seller and it had 80K miles on it. It now has 113K and it's still running great. Had to get a new battery, and a break line busted, and I have a ball bearing issue but all in all its been a great car. I only have to fill up my tank every 2 weeks which saves me tons of money. I plan on getting a new car soon, but will keep this one because it starts in very cold weather (-30 degrees!) and is very reliable!

My Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera rar runs and looks brand new. I have 4 kids and we all fit comfortablly. It runs and performs well above its years. If I was told a car 13 years old ran as good as new I would say they were lying but for this 1993 it cant be more true. It rides smoothly and quietly. It just goes and goes with very little maintance. This car will be in my family for many years to come.

With the exception of a bad ground on the fuel float and common power steering cooler line rotting out (easily Bypassed), this is an excellent and reliable vehicle. I bought this car with around 80K in late 2007 and currently driving strong at around 109K miles. Only minor mechanical maintenance repairs, the body is relatively clean for NY state salty winters and the engine never skips a beat. Starts easy every time and purrs like a kitten. with the 3.3v6, I get about 25mi/gal Highway. I am very pleased with this solid trooper and would suggest it to anyone. Like another poster said, great starter car or a very reliable and safe commuting vehicle.

Had the car for 4 years now and very happy with it. well worth the money, while rotating the tires i tore a lug bolt in half. also needed to replace the serpentine belt. the motors in the tape deck are shot, but other than that haven't had any problems. always starts up. I took it in for an oil change and the mechanics wowed over how clean the car was. I found a bird's nest under the hood after leaving it sit for a semester. Love this car.

This full size front wheel drive car that seats six is perfect for my large family and driving in snow. Handling is very sluggish and sloppy, but the engine is tremendous. Great power with remarkable economy. Nothing ever goes wrong with this car. I am dying for something more fun or more interesting, but this car just keeps running so well I can't get rid of it!

I bought this car at 85,000, and have driven it to over 100,000 in just over four months. I really love the reliability, design and versatility of this wagon. I have to sell it now, though, as I travel too many miles annually to sell it later. I sure am going to look for another one.

Awesome car, my dad got it for me as my first car and it's been running strong ever since. Only had 2 problems and that was one break line had to be replaced and one coil pack had to be replaced also. I've drove it from Ohio to Alabama straight through, 2 round trips, its never given me any problems whatsoever and it only cost me around $95 in gas money, 1 way. But overall its a very reliable little car, cranks up every time and runs great. The brakes feel a little soggy and it has normal wear and tear of a 17 year old car, but I couldn't have asked for a better first car.

Purchased at 99K, have over 160k now. Previous owner had factory remanufactured tranny put in at some point. Whoever did the work misadjusted the TV cable and it now shows in how the tranny shifts. Might need a new trans because of it, but it hasn't died yet. A bit of a grandma car, but it has been reliable. Alternator at ~120K easy to replace, and the rotors will slowly warp, contributing to the rattly dash. Accessories all function well no issues. Typical 24 mpg Seattle commuting, 28-30 highway.
Has been a great car...

Other than (1) a right front brake early wear-out at 12,000 miles and (2) an AC leak (which my son fixed after the dealer failed to find it on three tries) my 1993 Olds Cutlass Ciera SL has been a great car for 12 years and 60,000 miles...and still is. A run through the car wash makes it look like new again as there is no signs of rust out so I fully expect to put at least another 60,000 miles on it.
My Favorite So Far

I got this car when it had 121,000 miles on it and the only thing that has gone wrong with it is the electrical system. Overall it's been a great car to start out in. I love the 3300 V6 engine. If anyone is looking for a first car, or if parents are looking for a first car for their kids I would highly recommend this one.
Wonderful Car

My Olds now has 240000 miles and is still running like a champ. This car is absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to anyone - great starter car. It is reliable and safe.
Great Car

This car is very reliable. It has 317,000 miles on the engine and it is still going strong. The only downside is that you have to warm it up before it will drive good. The air still blows cold, and the stereo sounds better that my newer cars.
Solid

Bought this car new in 1993 and its still running with over 136,000 miles on it. The reliability has not been spectacular, but if it is well taken care of, it will serve you well. The V6 is just awesome. People don't expect it to be a fast car, but the engine is strong and the body is light, making it surprisingly quick. It will blow the doors off most of the 4 bangers on the road today. Various trim bits have fallen off and the dashboard rattles like crazy, but the car grows on you.
Rust and TPS problems

Doors and fenders have rust problem (frequent touchup needed) and it needed a TPS (throttle position sensor), which was hard to diagnose. Mechanics thought it was fuel system problem for a long time. Otherwise, it's been a good car. Repairs so far: TPS, alternator, exhaust system, brakes. Not bad for 136,000 miles.
Transmission is best

Transmission is amazingly smooth. I do not feel any shift change when accelarating from 0-60. Bought it in 2003 when it was 60000 miles. Now it is 130000. I used as spare car.
reliable car

I bought my Oldsmobile Cutlass with 110,000 miles on the odometer, had a few major items replaced (alternator, harmonic balancer) but for the most part has been a good car for my needs.
the worst car ever

this car has been nothing but trouble since the day i got it. everything in the engine needed to either be repplaced or fixed. the car itself is ugly and can barely start and stay that way. howeevr, i will say that it has some pick-up-and-go for such a sad car.
