I had a 1998 Buick Rivera for 7 years, until last week when it was totaled in a car accident. Well |I just had to have another one. We looked for a week until my husband found me a 1999 like brand new. This car is great, I don't know why GM stopped making it.

Favorite Features

Body style. Sunroof. Handle great. Smooth ride

Suggested Improvements

None. I love this car the way it is.

Best American Car Ever

Review

The 1999 Buick Riviera is a beautifully designed and built car that can compete in every way to the Japanese or European carmakers. In the 1980s and 1990s the Riviera became something of a highly decorative boat anchor, but with the supercharged 3800 it jumped into the performance car category. The 3800 alone is the best engine out there and to supercharge it , you have the combination of performance and reliability. Overall this is the best car I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of cars.

Favorite Features

Supercharged 3800 and the clean lines.

Suggested Improvements

You can't improve on perfection!

Review

Ever since I was old enough to appreciate fine automobiles I'd wanted a Corvette. I'd also grown over the years to admire the Riveria. 1999 rolled around. My wife and I found our sparkling diamond white dream car on the showroom floor and knew it had to be now or never if we were ever going to own a new one. Guess what? I don't want a Corvette anymore. Who needs it? This car is a keeper. I'll treasure it for the rest of my life.

Favorite Features

Overall style, comfort, performance, and downright fun to drive!

Suggested Improvements

Kind of hard to see out the back but I'll live with it. To have changed the body style for that would have been a mistake.

I looked for this car (used) for almost 1 yr. I am so glad I waited for the right one! I love it - dependable, fun to drive and one of a kind! I always get compliments on it! I love the white diamond color and comfy interior!

Favorite Features

Curvey lines, the unique look and interior! Wish they were still making the Riviera model!

Review

Have had car 7 weeks. Put almost 5000 miles on it and now near 94k. Have not put a dime into car and it has no issues to deal with. Starts instantly, plenty of power, room, comfort ,features and safety. Just figured my gas mileage is 28.4 for last 4000 miles, of which less than half is on interstates. My new Silverado has been parked since I got it

Favorite Features

Quiet, efficient, fast, comfortable seats throughout. Mine has every option they offered except chrome on the wheels

Suggested Improvements

Nothing beats it as it is.
