Problems, reliability
This catalogue file does not include failure rates, recall lists, or reliability scores. Problems and reliability for Oldsmobile Toronado are not measured here. Chassis items that are measured: 4 generation 3.8 AT front suspension Dependent, spring (other generations Independent, spring at the front). Rear: 1 generation Dependent, spring; 2 generation Dependent, leaf spring; 3 and 4 generation Independent, spring. Rear brakes are Drum where measured (3 and 4 generation) and not measured on 7.0 AT and 7.5 AT.
Which version to choose
Use the numbers in the file; there are no prices in this dataset.
If the goal is maximum listed power and the only measured 0–100, 1 generation 7.0 AT is the peak: 385 hp, 644 Nm, 6970 cm³, 8 s to 100 km/h, 209 km/h, FWD, Coupe, kerb 2118 kg. Torque is 136 Nm above 2 generation 7.5 AT (644 − 508) and 278 hp above 4 generation 3.8 AT (385 − 165).
If the goal is the largest displacement, 2 generation 7.5 AT is 7447 cm³, 265 hp, 508 Nm, Coupe Hardtop, RWD, 209 km/h, kerb 2078 kg. It is the only RWD version in the file. Versus 7.0 AT it has 120 hp less (385 − 265) and 477 cm³ more (7447 − 6970). Compression is 8.5 versus 10.5 on 7.0 AT.
If the goal is the lightest measured kerb and the only version with boost listed as No plus multi-point injection, 4 generation 3.8 AT: 1457 kg, 165 hp, 298 Nm, 3785 cm³, 6 cylinders, V-shaped, Automatic 4, FWD, 190 km/h, fuel 92. It is 5 hp below Gasoline 5.7 AT (170 − 165) and 38 hp above 4.1 AT (165 − 127).
Inside 3 generation, Gasoline 5.7 AT (170 hp) is the strongest of that generation: 170 hp and 366 Nm versus 142 hp / 324 Nm on 5.0 AT (+28 hp, +42 Nm) and 127 hp / 283 Nm on 4.1 AT (+43 hp, +83 Nm). Top speed 177 km/h versus 172 km/h (5.0 AT) and 160 km/h (4.1 AT). Kerb on Gasoline 5.7 AT is not measured, so mass cannot be compared for that pair.
Diesel 5.7 AT (107 hp) is the least powerful listed Toronado: 107 hp, 278 Nm, 151 km/h, 1695 kg. Versus Gasoline 5.7 AT it has 63 hp less (170 − 107) and 88 Nm less (366 − 278), and versus 4.1 AT it has 20 hp less (127 − 107) while weighing 91 kg more (1695 − 1604). Displacement 5736 cm³ versus 5700 cm³ on the Gasoline 5.7 AT.
Where two rows share the same name, the file’s only split is gear count: 4.1 AT, 5.0 AT, Gasoline 5.7 AT and Diesel 5.7 AT each exist as Automatic 3 and Automatic 4 with the same hp, Nm, displacement, fuel type, drive and (where measured) kerb and top speed. Power, torque and top speed do not differ between those 3-speed and 4-speed twins in this dataset.
