Review

I have over 150000 miles on this car, and it still runs beautiful.. im a traveling salesman, and the company wants to get me a new car, but i dont want one, i love this one too much. from the heated leather to the supercharged V6, this car has it all.. my sunroof is always open and the stereo system in this car is great. when im home, my 17 yr old boy, loves to drive it. Im going to be keeping this car until it wil cost me to much to get a new one!

Favorite Features

heated seats, in dash Cd changer, supercharger, and i added a chip to up the preformance!

Suggested Improvements

only thing is the butt end is a little long, but no biggy

Review

This is one of the most comfortable cars ever made. The ride is smooth and bumps are hardly felt. Power supplied by the 3800 V6 is fast and responsive. The seats are like leather couches that hold and support the body. The car may look long but it can corner well and fuel economy is great. I have a white "Rivi" with chrome wheels and after a fresh waxing and some polish on the rims - this car turns heads!! I am completely satisfied with this GM car.

Favorite Features

Supercharged 3800 V6 engine, huge trunk space, comfortable seats, sweet stereo system.

Suggested Improvements

GM should start building this car again!

Unique Styling, American Luxury

Review

Head-turning exterior design. Very nice power under the hood. One of the very best (non-Caddy/Lincoln) luxury cars Detroit ever turned out.

Favorite Features

One-of-a-kind look. Great acceleration and smooth handling for a big car. Roomy interior, even for a six-footer, and comfortable leather upholstry provides pleasurable seating on long drives.

Suggested Improvements

Better suspension - the car severely bucks up and down over bumps. Factory stereo - a piece of junk mechanically, although the sound is decent. Dashboard button lights burn out quickly.

Buick's best car

Review

A great looking car that performs well (with the supercharged 3.8L). It rides a little rough, but corners better then most cars that are the same size. The Riviera has been very reliable, with only minor mechanical problems after over 100,000 miles.

Favorite Features

240hp 3.8L supercharged motor; Exterior styling; Comfortable seats with lots of legroom; decent cornering

Suggested Improvements

2 very heavy large doors; Strange interior w/ retro styled dashboard; poor reception when the radio is on AM
