1996 Oldsmobile Ciera

Wonderful Car!!

By Uptrender (MO) on Wednesday, June 06, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 26,000

Pros: "Fun to drive, cruises smooth, handles great!"

Cons: "For the life of me, I can't think of anything!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This car is in pristine condition, has only 26,000 actual miles on it, and is a beautiful and wonderful car! I inherited this car 2 months ago, from my aunt when she passed away. She was 94 years old when she passed. She bought this car new in 1992 and always kept excellent maintenance on it spring and fall. She drove it in town mostly, but did take it on the highway several times a year (sometimes driving it up to 200 miles distance). I doesn't leak anything at all, has no scratches or dings, it looks brand new! I absolutely love driving it. It cruises so smooth and it gets great gas mileage!"

"These old Oldsmobiles are from a time when GM built good cars. The oly problem with them are the intake gaskets with the 3.1L V6 go out but its about 80 bucks in parts and its back on the road. Car will get 28mpg on the freeway all day long. Very nice riding car, I will buy another Ciera when this one dies."

"I love this car! My husbands mother gave it to us. She bought it in 97, brand new. Ours has very low miles and still runs like a champ. Though the Minnesota weather has rusted her up a bit, she still looks great and runs great!"
