Olds 88 Royale
This car runs great, heats up fast in the Minnesota winters and it is overall a very reliable car. It has never left me stranded and it always starts. But its suspension is WAY too soft, the nose dives at stop signs. Also, my gas mileage is getting worse. It probably needs a tune up and regular maintenance. The power steering leaked. The source of the problem was a power steering fluid radiator. I have never seen anything like it!
Oldsmobile 88
Excellent car. Bought it from my uncle for $1500. Unfortunately it developed an electrical problem affecting the engine, not to mention an engine coolant leak only 2 months after I bought it. Was told it was due to the car's age but, the previous owner took excellent care of the car. Everything still factory.

Overall disappointing car.
This car has the Cab forward design so interior comfort was great,leg and headroom were outstanding.Large trunk.Nice looking car.But started having mechanical problems at around 43k.Fair gas mileage but leaked oil.Good acceleration.Awful suspension,super soft shocks which affected handling. Traded in on a two year old car.

very pleased
I bought this car with 115000 miles on it. It now has 141600 on it and has been fairly trouble free. Its fuel efficiancy for a large car is remarkable. The 3800 series II moves this big car very well. I have been very happy with it since the day I bought it and I'm afraid to get rid of it someday. Other than the upper intake plenum blowing apert one time and sucking all the coolant into the engine, I have'nt had any other big problems with my 88.
