Pros: good mpg, good acceleration, roomy
Cons: front bumper plastic
The Bottom Line: This is a good family car for long distance or around town for 4. Get the 3.3L v6 or 3.8L avoid the others
Buy the V6! any one that knows anything about cars knows to stay away from gm tech 4's. I havn't worked on one yet that doesn't leak like crazy. The V6 sport Achiva on the other way is a blast. I have kicked many a Firebird and 5.0 stag with this ... read more

About a year ago I went shopping for a car. I was specifically looking for an Oldsmobile, as I'm a previous owner of an Olds. I wasn't to familiar with the Achieva, I am now. I found a 1993 Achieva S with a Quad 4 and 82,000 miles on the odometer for ... read more
