  discouraging. - 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera
  By cole21 - September 1 - 5:50 am

  Ive had this car a little over a year now, and Im aching to be rid of it. you feel every bump in the road, and although the seats are very comfortable, its not a pleasant ride. theres rust and holes in the rear, its slow, its awful on gas, and Ive put so much money into it, its not even worth it. my door doesnt open when i unlock it, my battery died twice, Ive had my brakes done twice, new oil, and fluids, my windshield wiper fluid doesnt come out. Its nothing special, and shouldnt have this many problems considering I bought it from an eighty year old woman who used to to drive to church. Waste of my money and time.

  The free car - 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera
  By Dave Elsberry - March 15 - 2:00 am

  This car was a gift, new by my in- laws. Its never been an attractive car, and didnt ride very well. Massive oversteer, and a floating feeling never made the car comfortable for any length of time. Over the life of the car (110K miles as of now). Ive rebuilt the top end of the motor twice due to head gasket failures, which cracked one head, and warped the intake both times. The transmission lost a $20.00 sensor, cost $1500.00 in labor to replace (the engine has to come out). Its now blown its third head gasket. the AC died two times due to the placement of the AC hoses, and all four power window motors failed.

  Great First Car - 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera
  By Bamboo - July 16 - 12:20 pm

  This is simply an A to B car and nothing more. The cars quality is sub par compared to other vehicles of the era. It does offer a great first vehicle platform. Its large, cheap, handles the winter well, but gets mediocre gas mileage. There is also plenty of cargo space.
