"I recently bought this vehicle and love it! The car is comfortable, runs great, rides great and has lots of nice features...such as automatic climate control and automatic headlights. The auto-leveling suspension is a nice touch too."

"Our 1996 Olds LSS is a dream. Only Olds for us since 1961 and not a lemon in the bunch! Don't understand why they discontinued it. We have almost 97,000 miles on it; was thinking about perhaps getting a new vehicle but after reading the outstanding reports and mileage on reviews above, we have a practically NEW CAR! Still have 144,000 miles to go before we reach one review so why trade?? Ours still looks sporty, pretty wheels, moonroof, all the bells and whistles we need for our age and a pretty unfaded Cherry red too! We can go 500 miles on a tank of gas which is pretty darned good we think. Get 29 mpg city; 33 mpg highway. Guess we'll just get detailed; prettied up a bit and 'keep on enjoying'... Many thanks to the good people who wrote the great reviews above.. you encouraged us a lot and probably saved us a bunch of money too !! We owe you one ~~~~~"
