Review

I bought this car from a little old man with under 43000 miles. Since day one I have been funding my local mechanic's kids college education. Over $3000 worth of repairs in two years. Air conditioner went twice (I'm in Florida!), transmission, intake manifold, etc. Because of this car, I will never buy another American car as I am afraid

Favorite Features

A big trunk

Suggested Improvements

Reliability, durability

I really enjoy my 1996 Riveria. Its been really good to me, the only thing is that the trunk is starting to rust, but i guess thats no biggy. The interior has hardly any wear and the outside is equally perfect. i have the supercharged version and i sometimes race it, and i kick a$$ with it.. i really do love this car!

Favorite Features

I like the heated seats and the controls on the stearing wheel.

Suggested Improvements

The butt-end is a little long and the dash is a little plain.

the 1995 buick riviera the ultimate in luxury and styling over looked. on the out side you look at the riviera and notice the flowing design and sharp curves wraping around this beauty. If the exterior impresses you wait till you see the interior. Luxorious 6-way heated bucket seats with a sound system to boot!!! plus many more features to many to list!!a supercharged 3800 series motor with road burning take offs easily passes other cars in a hurry with out blowing your eardums thats right all you hear is a soft calming purr like humm!! excellent car!! the best car i've ever incountered !!!! a must buy!!!!

Favorite Features

killer looks and supremely comfortable interior, super relaiable,and easy to pick out from a see of inbred look-a- like cars.simply beautiful and powerful

Suggested Improvements

start making them again,make the seat belts come from with in the seats istead of the celing it makes it harder to get in back!!!

I bought my car at 80k.I have some problems with cruise control, rear window defogger switch and a coolant leakage. These can happen. But parts of this car are expensive.I paid 300$ for the rear fogger switch.Every repair starts from 100$ at the authorized service. But great interior design and outer design. I agree that interior design of Buick cars are bad but this one is exceptional. Gas mileage is poor, performance is fine, but could be better if the car is somewhat smaller. Reliability is same with any of the american cars I guess. If you want a more reliable car try honda or toyota but I cant find the design and fun to drive in them.

Favorite Features

Exceptional design, Luxury, GM Motor

Suggested Improvements

Poor gas mileage, expensive parts

Review

Bought car in prestine condition with 42,000 miles from local Buick dealership. Glad I purchased extended warranty because a lot has been repaired. I now have chosen to take it for repairs at another local dealership because the purchase location is dishonest and further from my home. I like the car, however, it is enormous and uses a lot of fuel.

Favorite Features

I like the look, similar to a Jag in some ways. The supercharged engine really is fast. Still is stylish despite its age.

Suggested Improvements

No where to rest your elbows and arms comfortably. Add wood or stainless steal accents to dash and console. Make window/seat controls illuminate from behind switches, not above them from door handles-stupid feature!

Review

Engine went at 78k, $3000 Car handles terrible not even close to being sporty in any sense of the word, does not like to be pushed at all. Rides Well Gets decent gas mileage especially on highway Great Exterior Styling Interior is poor for the price, GM usually has terrible interiors and this one is not that great. Low resale value means you if you can find one that is low mileage and in good condition you can get alot for your money. My engine failure was a fluke related to the pan leaking oil from some undercar damage that I was unware of and it starved oil to the main bearings spun a few out.

Favorite Features

Styling Gas Milegae if you keep your foot out of it Room Ride Handles ok in wide sweepers and bends but doesnt like to be tossed at all Low cost

Suggested Improvements

No Soul- If you have driven a recent German Car you know what I mean Not a sports car or even agile Car was discountinued

From the leather seats to the superchared engine, the only thing to complain about is that you can't hear the engine roar, no, she purs like a kitten. A little pricy but a lot more comfortable.

Favorite Features

I love the heated seats in the winter time.

Suggested Improvements

A little smaller

The car is dropdead gorgeous, and gets looks and comments all the time. A great road car, and a blast to drive. What I like most is that I don't see other Riviera's all the time, it has unique styling.

Favorite Features

Everything, all the gadgets

Suggested Improvements

Start building them again.
