Review
I've had the car almost a year and had no problems. Very comfortable on long trips. Doesn't handle like a sports car, but that's okay. Added bonus: insurance is cheap because this is one of the least stolen cars.
Favorite Features
CD player, leather seats
Suggested Improvements
Cupholders could be better, fit and finish good, but not as good as Toyota

Review
Have had very few problems with the car which include a failed front pass. side wheel bearing which was about $500 to fix but other than that its been a good buy at around 7 grand. Gas mileage has been ok at about 25 highway but 13 or so around town and since i only have a 2 mile commute that kinda hurts but the car isnt even warmed up yet by the time i pull into work so i cant complain much.
Favorite Features
Peppy V6 good family car like space affordable price and very luxurious ride quality
Suggested Improvements
Handling sucks but thats what you get with a decent ride quality and some of the plastic panel clips had broken off before i bought the car but that could have been misuse before i got it.

Review
Problems, problems, problems. My wife purchased this car new and put 29,000 miles on it before we sold it. In that time frame the car needed to be repaired over sisteen times. Not the same thing every time, but different things on a regular basis. I'm not talking minor things either. Before this Buick we have only purchased GM products and have been well satisified with them. However when we purchased this one things changed. If you buy a new GM product and have problems, be prepared to get the run around. I strongly encourage you to look elsewhere, ther are better cars and companies to do business with.

Review
This car is a great buy for someone who wants comfortable, cheap transportation. The amount of things you get on this car for the price is great. The 3.1L V6 is both powerful in the low rev range and gets good gas mileage. This is an old GM motor which has proven to be very reliable if a bit noisy. The styling is very boring on the outside but simple and well placed on the inside. Build quality is lacking as the body panels have big gaps and part of the ceiling has come down in the rear. The trunk and the interior are both spacious and comfy. Ride quality is pillowy soft but the tires are of very bad quality and make a lot of noise.
Favorite Features
Strong, efficient V6; comfortable interior; great gas mileage; super value.
Suggested Improvements
BUILD QUALITY!!! Hello GM. Also: better tires, more powerful head lamps, standard 6 spoke alloy wheels across the line. GM wheel covers suck!
GREAT CAR

Review
The car is generally very good. It did have a water leak in the intake manifold just before the 36000 mile warrantee. The brake pedal has to be lubricated a lot or it sqeeks. The door molding moves and causes the doors to stick, had fixed twice. If you have dew on the side windows rolling them down and up does nothing, have to wipe them.
Favorite Features
I like the way the transmission works and the general feel of the car. My wife made me buy it for the Cd player and insterment layout.
Suggested Improvements
Fix the sliding moldings on the doors so as not to stick. Do something to clear dew off side windows when rolled up and down. More adustment in Air vents (to go higher). Lumbar support.

In July, 1999 I contacted my local Buick dealer via email & told him what I was looking for. In a few minutes I learned that what I wanted, (with exception of a $75 stripe on the side)was on his lot. I did not dicker on the following offer; $200 over invoice $1500 rebate $500+ credit from GM Card.
Favorite Features
