Had this car for 12 years -- getting a new one because now have children and I had the bare bones version of this with no LATCH, auto windows, etc. I kept up with maintenance, and over the years did replace intake manifold (per GM service note), a couple of batteries, and an alternator (it had been left undriven for three months), water pump, and AC controls. Most of these have been in the last couple of years, which makes sense once the car hits ten years old. Car was very good about warning lights -- most times warning came early enough to get it to a shop and I was never stranded.
Expensive Repairs

My 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass is quite a nice car and has been reliable, but now that it has 52,000 miles, it is getting expensive to repair. A couple of years ago the heater fan worked only on high. The cost to repair was $126. A couple of months ago it had to have a leaking intake manifold gasket repaired at a cost of over $600. A couple of weeks ago everything went dead at a red light. The alternator had stopped working, killing the battery. The cost of repair was $644. I did the front brakes myself last year and am doing the rear brakes in a couple of days myself. In short, this car is OK if your a good mechanic.
a ford pinto was a better car

the suspension in the rear is really bad the paint is flaking off the car their is a invisible leak during the winter that coolant leaks out. It is just a cheap non quality car that general motors should have never built and the climate control has a short in it.
also had brake issues

My 1999 Cutlass has only 23,000 miles on it. I also had to have the brakes replaced (at 21,00 miles!). I have just been told I need new tires - even though I have been vigilant about rotating and alignments. There is no way a car with this low mileage should have to have brakes/tires replaced at under 25,000 miles! Other than those issues I have thoroughly enjoyed my Cutlass.
maintain it

I got my car in December 1999, it now has 178,ooo miles on it. If you want this car to last do what I did. KEEP UP THE MAINTAINCE. I do the maintaince regularly when scheduled and I fix the minor problems before they become major. This car is still going strong. I will keep it. To bad they don't make this car anymore or I would by another.
