  1998 Olds Cutlass (same as the Malibu) - 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By shuge - February 8 - 2:00 am

  I bought this in May 2000 with 28k it now has 62k.The problems: Lots of rattles and noise from the interior parts. Alternator went out at 52k miles. Began leaking anti-freeze from around one of the heads at 50k miles. The ABS system went haywire at 60k miles. Handles horribly. Especially in the snow. This car has kind of soured me on GM. It seems like its held together with bubble-gum and scotch tape. I never drove it very hard, although it is a 8 mile stop and go commute to work. Overall I am very disappointed with the car. Dont know if I got a bad one or if other people have the same problems.

  Like this car - have had no problems with it. Like all the little luxuries included. Very comparable to a Camry.

  This car has been very dependable, it has decent gas mileage (approximately 25 mpg) It is cute, and sporty, but also comfortable and practical.

  Pretty good, not great - 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By First Owner - April 25 - 4:43 am

  I must be lucky, I havent had the problems others have had listed here. Yes the rotors were fixed both at 7,500 miles and again at 12,000, but after much complaining, the Olds finally got it right. Havent touched them since. Drives pretty good, I get 27 mpg all around, not much highway driving. Rattles are starting to develop and the front wheel drive makes a growling sound, but Ive heard worse from other GM products. No major defects, just a faulty coolant sensor thats not worth replacing.

  Its in the shop again - 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By disheartened - November 1 - 12:03 am

  I bought this car from a dealers home in the fall with cooler weather. I can see why it wouldnt sell in hot weather,as the transmission clunks real bad when its hot out. I bought the car with 44,000 and have 84,000. My mechanic said my transmission was perfect inside but bulged on the outside. He put in another one last week with 5,000 less miles on it and it was clunking within 10 miles of the shop. He fixed the wheel bearing. The air conditioner hasnt worked since last summer. Ive had to replace the water pump and fix the front end when the steering stopped working. He replaced something to control the pressure in the transmission but that didnt help. The tape player was bad also.

  Pretty Good for the money - 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By BLee - July 1 - 10:00 am

  I bought the car in 1999 with about 18,000 miles on it. The V6 engine has plenty of power to move the car. I have had the same problems listed by others; two intake gaskets, alternator, brakes galore. Then at 178,000 miles the camshaft broke, destroying the engine. I bought a junk yard engine and tranny with 26,000 miles on them and had the car back on the road for $1500. Its now pushing 190,000 miles and I plan to drive it until it can no longer be repaired. Im 67" tall and theres plenty of legroom for me in the drivers seat. Ive been very pleased with the car. Ive definitely gotten my moneys worth out of it.

  Amazing First Car - 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass
  By Donny - February 15 - 2:00 am

  I recently bought this car from my friends grandmother, who hardly ever drove it. It only had 52,980 miles on it. I have had it for a month and it now has almost 54,000 miles on it. It is amazingly fun to drive. Even though it is kind of a grandma car, it still can get up and go. The leather interior is amazing. This is an overall great car. I have had no problems with it, but the wiper fluid container has a leak.
