For 1994 the Oldsmobile Ciera went on an upgrading binge. For starters, there are two new engines and a new transmission. This means that buyers have a choice between two powerful engines and two transmissions also. The new base engine is a 20-horsepower, 2.2-liter 4-cylinder, coupled with a 3-speed standard automatic transmission.

 

The new 160-horsepower 3.1-liter V6 engine matched with a 4-speed automatic transmission is standard for the wagon and is optional for the sedan. While the Ciera is not a flashy, zippy car it does win point for comfort and reliability. It is equipped with a soft suspension that makes room for a softer ride that diminishes the bumps and jumps of uneven pavements.
