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.
Fun Car
In 60K miles of driving we've only had to replace the fuel pump, sender unit and tires. For a car of its size, the LSS has excellent ride, handling and comfortable seating. At over 35 miles per Imperial gallon, gas mileage is also excellent for a car with this power and size. A great car.
Will not die
We have a 97 LSS S/C just going on 160,000 miles now. Original motor, original transmission. The previous owner did not do a tuneup until 140,000 miles when we bought it. It was not maintained well but runs like new after we gave it a tuneup and replaced some parts like the thermostat and brakes.
Nice car
This car is a sleeper with lots of horsepower. The 3.8L V6 is a rock- solid engine. It gets great gas mileage, too.
Where do you get Parts?
Have a 1997 Olds LSS 32,000 miles. Need tail lenses for both sides. Some cosmetic stuff inside. Vacuum diagrams and stuff for heat/AC ventilation problems. Defrost, Lower, Floor. Not switching over to other levels. Steel hub covers not the plastic kind. Parts for this car are hard to find.
