It IS my father's Oldsmobile!!

by thadii23
Apr 11 '04 - Updated May 27 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Standard features, auto on headlights, lefty cupholder, V6 power, the looks.
Cons: Brakes, MPG, unreliability.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking at one, have it checked out by a trusted mechanic first. Otherwise, take your money and buy a used Toyota, Nissan, Mazda or Honda.

Back in November, my parents decided I needed to replace my 1993 Nissan Altima (see review)with 190,000 miles. Since they were to be my financial backers, I decided to oblige them. It came down to 2 choices (I didn't get much say in the choices as ...

Hey, it runs!

by isu1993
Oct 17 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Nice acceleration, quick and nimble. Price was right (can't expect perfection with 100K miles).
Cons: Head gasket blowing at 100K seems common. Some electrical problems.
The Bottom Line: Don't get taken to the cleaners when you buy one of these. Mine was good for the money..can't expect perfection on a car like this!

I bought my Olds with roughly 100K miles on it in March 2005 for under $3000. The day after taking it home, I discovered a head gasket leak. My neighbor had a '98 Chevrolet Malibu which is basically the same car. He had to have his head gasket ...

UPDATE TO REVIEW DONE IN 2001

by uidjs
Dec 09 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: I've usually been able to get from point A to point B.
Cons: It's cost me as much in repairs as it has in car payments.
The Bottom Line: This thing is garbage. I forgot to mention, this is a NOISY car. Lots of rattles and creaks for no reason.

This is an update to a review I previously wrote on this product way back in 2001. My username was dockhday and I wrote the review on November 29, 2001. Unfortunately, I don't use this site much and I ended up having to create a new ID because epinions ...

Cutlass: Good Car. Parts A Mystery

by DUNCAN01
Jan 01 '00 - Updated Jan 06 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Excellent Driveability
Cons: Aftermarket Parts?

My 1998 Cutlass GL
Let's go back to the year 1998. Oldsmobile had come out with a new style for their Cutlass, new options and a sleeker look. I had at the time a 1992 Olds Cutlass Sierra S and loved it. However, I needed...

Overall very good used-car buy

by dockhday
Nov 29 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Excellent handling, very smooth ride, roomy interior, lots of options, very affordable as pre-owned vehicle.
Cons: Has some issues with rattling sounds under dash, in rear, and elsewhere. Gas mileage marginal.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car if you can score a deal as sweet as the one I got. Look for lowest miles possible and it's a steal.

If you can find the 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass used and with fairly low miles for a reasonable price, you will be getting alot of car for your money. Mine has run beautifully in the months that I have owned it and it really handles like a car should. I...

'98 Was Not A Good Year

by cargurl
Jun 06 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Leather, 4 door
Cons: Leather smells, trunk shakes, car wobbles.

My Grandma has a 1998 Olds Cutlass GLS and the car is terrible! Sometimes she picks me up from somewhere, and were two blocks away from home, and it squeaks terribly! It is not a smooth ride either, and I do not recommend this car to young people. I...

Rides like a jet (smooth)

by t2lark21
Dec 18 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: large in space.
Cons: the color of the car might not be what you want.

It is a very spacious car and it is sold at a very low price. If you are a person that want a small car that is very affordable, this is the perfect car. When I went to the car lot, my first choice was to go with the malibu; but when I saw the cutlass...
