The Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera served as the main offering in Oldsmobile's mid-size market segment between 1982 and 1996 when it became a source of consistent consumer choice and financial success for the brand. The GM A-body front-wheel-drive platform supported the Cutlass Ciera that incorporated MacPherson strut suspension combined with an excellent road handling system. The initial engine for early Cutlass Ciera models was a 2.5L Tech IV inline-four but customers could add Buick's 3.0L V6 and Oldsmobile's 4.3L diesel V6 as optional choices. Throughout its production the Cutlass Ciera used both a manual 4-speed transmission and automatic shifting units which advanced from 3-speed to 4-speed automatic technology. Regular Ciera upgradings during 1985 introduced new styling for the front section together with upgraded interior elements. The original factory standards of specifications enable GENUINE OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS CIERA PARTS to ensure ideal fitting performance.
