Review

I bought my car in '95. When I saw it I knew I had to have it. I have not been disappointed. In fact I have been quite surprised at the performance and comfort. I constantly drive from NY to Norfolk VA on a quarter of a tank of gas. I thought the gas guage was broken. But I have done it on numerous occasions and it is true. I love this car.

Favorite Features

Comfort and gas mileage.

Love My Riviera

Review

Basically I love to drive my Riviera with superb handling in year around Southern California weather. The interior is outstanding with all the needed controls on the steering wheel. On the down side, this is the only vehicle I have owned that can need repairs by just sitting in the garage. The mechanic bills have been frightning since I purchased it five years ago with apx 64,000 on it. I now have apx 95,000 on it and have put some $12,000 in it for repairs. Still love it!

Favorite Features

Outstanding power on the feeways. Unusual interior comfort. Supercharged engine. Good gas milage.

Suggested Improvements

Wind very noisy when windows are rolled up. This should be addressed if the Riviera is ever brought back.

I love my Riviera! It drives so smooth, even for an older car it is such a nice ride. The car is so beautiful, I get compliments on her everywhere we go. I was leary about buying because I knew that repairs would be expensive. She has had minimal problems and the parts weren't as expensive as I thought they'd be. Very comfortable interior! I can never live with out heated seats after having them with my Riviera. Definitely a must buy if you see one for sale, don't pass up the opportunity to own such a great car! You'd be missing out!

Favorite Features

I love the speed, the smooth ride, the comfortable interior, and massive trunk space. I love everything!

Suggested Improvements

Better cup holders! I hate the way my water bottles always fall in to the shifter when I am driving. My coffee cups don't stand in them too well either. Oh and put some in back too!

The Most Awesome Car Ever

Review

I purchased this car used with 43K, and it looked like it just came from the showroom. That was in 1998. It's now 2007 and it still looks brand new. I have never had anything done to this care other than routine maintenance. It's quiet, smooth, fast, comfortable and is the best car I have ever been in. It beats all the expensive imports any day. The mileage is great (30 mpg highway). It now has 112K and I won't consider parting with it. I think I will keep it forever. Buick, please make this car again!

Favorite Features

Smooth ride, gas mileage, its looks, quality of interior.

Suggested Improvements

Clear coat paint. I am going to have to have it painted soon, as it is getting "clear coat separation".

I can only say that this vehicle will go up in value with age. Unlike many others. A true collectors item. Most people that have them tend to hold on to them. It took me 5 years to find the perfect stock gold edition Riviera I am now driving.

Favorite Features

Timeless style

Suggested Improvements

GM needs to carry better inventroy of parts for these cars. They only carry 10 years worth of inventory as I found out. Sad to say but this makes these cars even the more valuable.
