Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Spacious and comfortable interior, strong supercharged V6 engine, solid safety scores, good value.

Cons

Build quality isn't always up to class standards, floaty ride without Gran Touring package, dated interior design.

What’s new

New interior and exterior colors are the only notable changes for the Park Avenue.

Edmunds says

When shopping for an extra-large, luxury-laden sedan of domestic heritage, it's hard to go wrong with the shapely Park Avenue.

2003 Buick Park Avenue 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Our 2003 Buick Park Avenue is a pleasure to drive. There are no blind spots so we have full view of what is around us when maneuvering in traffic. Comfortable ride is what we get, even on bumpy roads. Our other car, a Lexus, has a blind spot and we feel every bump, so we really appreciate riding in our Buick. There are no rattles so body integrity is built in. Our only problem at the …

2003 Buick Park Avenue Ultra 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl S/C 4A)

This Buick Ultra really looks good to me. It has some "sparkle" to it. I like the quiet ride and wonderful radio sound. Handles very good, and wonderful engine. I have had older Park Ave Ultra's, and they have been great cars!

Surprised by the performance and great comfort

I've owned a Sedan de Ville, Mercedes S430, BMW 740iL, Saab 9000 Aero and I lived in Germany for 9 years so the speed is wrung out of me as I'm 55 now. The Park Avenue I bought off second owner had 53K miles and was very clean. On the drive home I got a Stability System fault code and thought oh what did I buy. The previous owner told me three times it needed new tires so I bought four …

Solid comfort, cruiser deluxe

2004 Buick Park Avenue 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Acquired this car nine years ago, and have been totally pleased ever since. Fits my tall frame well, and is so comfortable to drive, whether in town or on the Interstate, smooth riding, easy handling. Have even considered getting a second one, just to have available. Did put aluminum wheels on when the original chrome wheels began to peel a bit - that resulted in even better handling. …
