2000 Buick Park Avenue Review
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
When shopping for an extra-large, luxury-laden sedan, it's hard to go wrong with the shapely Park Avenue. Overlook the cost-cutting inside, and you'll be quite pleased with your purchase, if a smooth-riding American land yacht is your sort of car. We'd definitely choose this over, say, a Lincoln Town Car.
Pros
Big and comfy interior, strong V6 engine, attractive design, good value.
Cons
Use of cost-cutting plastics inside, floaty ride, dizzying array of gizmos.
What's New for 2000
Park Avenue gets StabiliTrak, GM's advanced vehicle stability control system.

2000 Buick Park Avenue 4 Dr STD Sedan
Review
This car has been excellent, I'm 62 and this has been one of the best cars of the 16 that I have owned. The engine and drive train has had zero problems in 8 years. It had one minor issue in the 1st year that was fixed by the dealership with 1 visit. The ride is very smooth. The only problem I have had has been a weak front door lock plastic button bracket. I have replaced it 2 times. If the button is pushed hard, the plastic bracket eventually spreads and the door lock button pushes into the door planel. It still works but is not flush with the inside door panel.
Favorite Features
The ride is excellent. The car is very quiet. Road noise is exceptionally low.
Suggested Improvements
The push button door lock holder is weak and replacement cost and installation with painting is higher than to should be.

I would have to say that over all this is the last car that I would buy for a long while. This car may be big but it is stylish and is one of its own class of cars. When i drive this car I feel the long history of true American Style every time I drive my car it feels as if I am driving a car from the 50's the craftsmanship, the style, the look and the handling its what Buick has for years always offered with its cars my Park Avenue is by far the best, reliable, dependable and going strong at 110000 miles and will for a long time to come. My hat goes to the designers of this car they truly made one hell of a good car.
Favorite Features
Everything from the grille to the back bumper that holds chrome pieces that boldly state Buick!
Suggested Improvements
Bring the Park Avenue Buick back. It is more than a car. It's what American cars use to be!

You won't find a better car for the money. It's size and safety (crash tests) along with the exceptional fuel economy are unsurpassed. Even the Accord can't provide what this car can. Too bad it has that senior citizen image. But then I bet those seniors driving it, have be around the block a few times and got a nice bank account besides. Do yourself buy this one and keep the other $20k in the bank!
Favorite Features
Dash is laid out real nice. Think saftey. Brakes on a dime. 96,000 miles no problems. Don't for get the 3.8L V6 the GM makes is just about bulletproof. And the trans shifts and runs as new. Just keep up with normal maintenance
Suggested Improvements
Beef up the suspension

Review
The reliability of this vehicle is outstanding. In 5 years of driving not one component of the vehicle has failed. I have only had to change the battery, and replace the tires. I am amazed at the reliability, and performance of the vehicle.
Favorite Features
Special color of White. Supercharged engine.
Suggested Improvements
Trunk spring and mechanism not as good as some much less expensive cars. Back seat should be able to come down extending the space in trunk.
Smooth machine

Review
This is the nicest automobile I have ever owned. Independent suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes, premier transmission, one of Wards Auto World 10 best engines of all time, a curvy body and an interior as quiet/comfy as my living room topped off with 32 mpg on the highway - what else has all that?
Favorite Features
Driver memory, homelink, superb stereo, programmable steering.
Suggested Improvements
Center console cup holder is a joke and out of place with the remainder of the interior.
