Review
From the gorgeous, classy, yet timeless exterior of my silver park avenue ultra, to its sumptuous leather interior, Buick has put an eye to details in this car. Doesnt simply have memory seats. Its has memory seats, mirrors, radio, and climate control that is link to your individual key fob. The supercharged 3800 model 6 cylinder gasoline engine is known to be one of GM's best small engines, and mine happens to be supercharged. Effortless acceleration and highway passing power sum up this engine, and reliability is excellent as long as you maintain it. SEATS AREA SIMPLY AMAZING. My only complaint is possibly more thigh support, but i have very very long legs. Sound system is 2nd to none.

Overall I've been happy with this car. I put on a lot of miles and averaged about 21mpg which is impressive for a car this size. The supercharged engine really boogies, and it has every option you can ask for. But it is not attractive. As my kids say: it's a "grampa car". I did have problems with the rear struts and rotors, but that might have been caused by Brooklyn roads.

I've owned over 40 cars, and this Buick ranks near the top. I purchased it 6 months ago when it only had 20K miles. I now have 42K miles on the car. I still can't believe I get between 35 - 40 mpg on the highway. A few minor issues with dash squeaks/rattles.

General Quality: Very Good to
Excellent. 44K Miles on odometer when
purchased.
Minor problems with: power seats, CD
changer (nio instructions), brake
lights (fuse), and transmission (some
slippage when started & humidity is
90+%).
Nice ride. Good fuel economy.
Comfortable interior. Great room for
a passenger car.
A big factor in buying this car was
the big depreciation: originally a
$40K car I picked it up for $16K.
Compared to Nissan Max, a $34K car
(2001) sells for $17K, this is a
bargain.

My husband and I both love the car and
the ride.

I've made 14 trips to the repair show.
Dealership has been awsome, GM stinks.
They don't return calls. Did finally
provide extenede warranty at n/c but I
never got anything in writing to prove
it. Dealership finally printed off
their computer showing warranty.
Repairs made, so far, on doors,
transmission, heads up computer, leak
in trunk, on star was not programmed
correctly, key would not release,
lock/unlock buttons on inside car, door
panel keeps coming off, engine races
and runs rough when starting up..who
knows what will be next!

I like the car for its ride and plenty
of inside and trunk room. I think the
seats need more attention, although
there are plenty of adjustments. I have
owned two Buick Ultras and have had
transmission problems with both. The
warenty took care of it but GM needs to
put more quality into their parts. I
have compared them all and I have found
that dollar for dollar, I can't beat the
value of the Buick. I should also
mention, that the Buick that I now have
has all of the bells and whistles
available and I love them all.

Review
Where to start? Brakes groaned and
moaned since purchase. Over 5 brake
jobs, no cure. Driver's seat, after
20 minutes, major backache. Factory
Rep. stated: " Well it's not our fault
your body is built weird!". (Seat was
installed crooked). Now that's a
company with an attitude. Um, I'm
built quite normal. More maintenance
problems, over 20 days in shop in 5
months. After 5 Buicks, No More!
Quality is job gone. NoMoBuicks.
