Review

I had my first Riv in '98 and put 40,000mi on it in 6mths so traded for a '99 - *the last of the best*. I've driven this one across Canada in the winter snow, I've commuted to Florida many times and it's a breeze. This car has more guts than most, is SO comfortable to drive, lots of trunk space (2nd only to the Caddy SeVille,) sharp looking, and is just plain SEXY. Why on earth did they stop making them? GM - ya goofed big time! (as you did with the Olds Touring Sedan.)

Favorite Features

Style, seats, sunroof, trunk space.

Suggested Improvements

What's to improve??? Maybe 4 doors... nah - that would spoil the look. Just bring them back to us!!

Review

I have owned two Riviera's over the last four years and am sorry Buick has halted production on this very classy car. The Riviera's is one of the finest vehicles I have ever owned. They are comfortable, easy and fun to drive and handle very well (especially in the snow). Maintenace on both vehicles has been minimal. Head's turn when I drive this car!!

Favorite Features

Overall look of the car

Review

I find the acceleration to be excellant. Vear low noise inside vehicle. Instrument panel easy to read.Excellant road handling.Only drawback is the height inside,because of the Moonroof. Not enough headroom for tall individuals

Favorite Features

The rt.side rear view mirror tilts down when you back up so you won't hit the side walk.Interior design,bucket seats, heated seats,Etc.

Suggested Improvements

No longer in production.

Review

This is simply one of the most sensuous looking cars on the road. While not a sports car, it has very good acceleration and handling. I am getting 26 MPG on the highway (75 MPH) and 20 MPG around town which is about what I expected. Even though it is a coupe, there is a lot of room in the back seat. Trunk is huge.

Favorite Features

Design. Solid powertrain.

Suggested Improvements

They should have used the gauge cluster design similar to '63 Buicks. Two big round gauges with one smaller one set between them. As it is now, the left hand hides most of the Tach and many indicator lights. Bring the Riv back!!!

Has great pick up, good for freeway driving, but has a little trouble handling. Exterior is so-so, too long.
