Nice full size sedan
This is nice car and very similar to the Bonneville SSEs I have driven. The only mechanical problem I have had with this car was a plenum chamber failure at 60,000 miles. This is common with the 3800 v-6. so much so that the dealer maintains 10 in stock at all times. About an $800 repair by the time the mechanic washes his hands. All-in-all, a very comfortable highway cruiser and great for long trips.
My overall 1997 oldsmobile lss rating
i love this car, i heard there were only 10,000 made w/the supercharger, i wish olds was still in buisness!
New LSS owner
After using information from Edmunds to compare available full size sedans I settled on the Olds LSS. I have only had it a month but my 1978 LSS is a great car. It is so quiet, smooth and comfortable it is hard to beleive how well it performs and handles. It is a great value among the full size sedans,
solid choice
we bought this as a nine year old car with only 75,000 km on it (42,000 miles). it has been a very good car with only routine maintenance and very few minor repairs ie brakes/wheel bearing etc. very good gas mileage for size of car and is comfortable to drive as well. not the most "exciting" car to look at but does look sharp when it is shined up.
1997 Olds LSS
Good solid ride with load leveing rear supension. Very nice interior equal to the Cadillac STS. The 240 Hp supercharged engine will out perform the 300 Hp Cadillac Northstar. Highway milage at 75MPH is 30 to 32 MPG which is better than shown on the stickerwhich shows 29MPG. The only negative comment is the head lights are not good as my Chev. Tahoe. It's too bad GM decided to eliminate this model as I would have bought another one. If interested Pontiac.Buick and the Chevy Impala have the same 3.8 litre supercharged engine but I feel the interiors are not equal to the Olds LSS.
