• Sensitive suspension and wheels go wild on even the tiniest bumps on the road.
• Steering is over-assisted, so it’s terribly light and touchy at higher speeds and so the driver doesn’t have a clue as to the feel of the road and besides, it’s awfully inaccurate at the center.
• Brakes only offer average grip and those stretching stops and cantankerous linings are the proof. The primitive ABS doesn’t help much when it comes to smooth stops, far from it, there are a lot of jerks and jolts. The brake pedal is hard to apply properly and seems to have a mind of its own: it’s generally Jello-like, but it gets stiff as a frozen drumstick on emergency stops.
• Seats on the base 88 model aren’t as well designed as those on the LS, especially in regard to the rear seat-bench that’s much flatter.
• The outward view is only fair due to low-slung seats, high body frame, thick roof supports and rearview mirrors that are in the way, even if they’re small as postage stamps.
• The optional suspension on the LS can sure be unkind to passengers, it’s firmer and doesn’t let a single bump go by unnoticed…
• Some trim materials aren’t too nice, like the imitation wood appliques and the God-awful plastic on the dashboard. And to top things off, it isn’t as tight and clean for some items, which isn’t the case on some of the more recent model cars.
• To be improved upon: inconvenient storage compartments that are scarce as hens’ teeth and poorly located, a floor shifter that’s hard to adjust just right and some controls that aren’t ergonomic.

VERDICT:

• The 88 may not have the Bonneville or the Le Sabre’s charisma, but it’s nonetheless a respectable, American luxury car. It’s reliable and reasonably priced, considering its size and rich equipment, which makes of it a nice and big, comfortable vehicle that gets you around in style at quite an affordable price.

NEW FOR 1998:

• More refined ABS sensors that improve performances.
• Two new exterior shades and a new cabin interior shade.
