Good runner dependable. Lacks power, but acceptable for a four cylinder. Fairly comfortable interior. Car needs to be plugged in during very cold weather. Tires seemed to last a long time. Car was nice to drive on longer trips. Heater worked very well in extreme cold.

My only non-Ford vehicle and I really like the Cutlass car and mine was a good car and was great to drive around town. It had the V6 engine and wished it had the V8..O WELL!!! I did put on Olds wheels on it with some great tires. The only other thing I did was put in a new stereo in it!!

I just bought this car in feb. 2009 and since then i have been fixing it up. This car is already a classic by its age of 26 years old. Its a great car to toy around with and restore.
