1993 Buick Roadmaster 4 Dr Limited Sedan

Review

This vehicle had belonged to my Mother. It was given to me 2 years ago. It is the most comfortable and reliable car by far. Everyone who rides in it cannot believe how comfortable it is. I love it and will keep it even if I eventually buy another vehicle. It now has 104,000 original miles and we just recently put a new stereo system with CD and new speakers.

Favorite Features

The ease of handling and the comfortable seats. The all leather interior.The feel and look of luxury even now at the age of 14 years.

Suggested Improvements

None

Perre´s largest wagon ever

1993 Buick Roadmaster 4 Dr Estate Wagon

Review

Got this wagon from a friend at our head office. It´s sited in Skellefteå, up north in Sweden. Me and my girlfriend drove it from Skellefteå to Piteå about 100 km north of Skellefteå. It was a nice ride on a Swedish, late summer day. Four days later we started off to Stockholm, a trip for about 1000 km. The only problem was a small leak from the heater an some shake from the front brakes. The fuel consumption was 11.6 liters per 100 kilometers, very reasonable for this fullsize wagon. At home in city traffic it wants more like 12,5 to 16.0 liters per 100 km. Some tuning and a light gas foot will help to lower that.

Favorite Features

All the nice options, and the size. A real car as they should be built, even today.

Suggested Improvements

Rear compartment side panels, plastic material, gets pale and cracked in the sun. Miss the construction where the rear window slides down into the tail gate.

Full-size Values

1993 Buick Roadmaster 4 Dr STD Sedan

Review

Purchased my Roadmaster from my grandmother at 10 years old with 48k miles. Practically new and in great condition. 26k later, it has given practically trouble-free service, except for the fan clutch, power antenna, and spark plugs/wires. Coldest a/c I have ever owned (& never serviced in 12+ years). Gas mileage is great - I get about 20-21 mpg in mixed driving. Other than the size and the dowdy styling (which my wife literally hates), it's a great car.

Favorite Features

Comfortable ride, gas mileage, room for 5.

Suggested Improvements

Larger exterior mirrors, non-skirted rear wheel wells (like the Impala SS), more leg room in back seat.

Review

Look out the windshield, and the view across the hood is one of limousine feel, deep color, stead V-8 quiet and cush. Sadly, it gets worse as you move back: the middle seats are almost a cruel trick in their shallow depth, so you're never quite sitting (unless you are shorter than 4 feet). Then the back, which should be all fun, has a nice seat, but crappy, flappy plastic covers over the spare, with locking screws that give up, stick out, and snag on the folding of the rear seat up and down. But, it handles, for a wagon, amazingly. It's fast, strong, smooth and durable. Last of the classic old indestructible V-8 monstermobiles.

Favorite Features

V8, power everything, skyglass, girth, width, heft, bulk, solidness.

Suggested Improvements

Bring it back!
