The vehicle has been trouble free although the dealer had to replace the A/C o2 sensor before I picked it up.
This car handles well at all speeds, and as another ... read more

Pros: comfort, handling
Cons: judging the sloped front and rear while driving/parking
This is not my father's Oldsmobile. Actually, it's my Mom's. Whenever I get back home to the east coast, I use this car to jet around town, head into Manhattan, or drive up into New England on a longer trip. I certainly have no complaints.

Author's Product Rating: 50
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent. Has timeless styling, luxy, comfortable ride, and hopefully the V8 will run forever.

Pros: This car is like a Caddy or a Lexus. I love it...
