1990 Skylark w/ Noisy 2.5L Tech4 Engine
4.13 out of 5 starsJames Robert, 06/05/2002
1990 Buick Skylark Custom 4dr Sedan
This little car is a great A-to-B car
or family car. The Tech 4 2.5l 4-
cylinder is really noisy, but will run
forever. I made the mistake of
thinking it was valves tapping or an
engine knock. But the two different
machincs I took it to both said similar
remarks, "The engine has a plasic
timing gear that makes a lot of noise,
even brand new, but it is nothing to …
worry about. Just keep up on regular
maintence and she'll run forever." I
have only heard of imports that
reliable, not a Buick. But this car
has shown me GM has and can make a
reliable 4-cylinder car that last. At
129k miles it'll prbably go another
200k.
Solid

I love my Skylark. Let me re-phrase. I'm in love with my Skylark. My dad purchased with ~70K back in late 90's and he was 2nd owner. It's been with me and mine thru college and beyond with no signs of slowing down. I now have 176K. Everything (it's almost 20 yrs old folks) everything...works. The GM paint back then was crap. The outside looks as if the car has lepresy, but I think it … gives it character. The main point is this thing is solid where it counts. Only time I've had components break is out of sheer exhaustion, and I can't be mad at the ol' girl because I think to myself, "That should have broken 20K ago." If you're lucky enough to land a good one it'll repay you tenfold.

This was my first vehilce and it turned out to be really reliable, so if your looking to put your son/daughter in there first car go for a nice looking 1990 Buick Skylark. Also, throw in a nice cd player and some good fresh speakers and you've struck gold.
Overall awesome Car!!

The performance from my 2.3L Quad 4 is
eager and satisfying, though it could
use a lot more low-end torque. Comfort
and fuel economy is good, unless you
drive with a lead foot. Interior
design is good, but why the heck
couldn't they spare to put in some more
gauges(Oil temp,etc.)! Build quality
is good, and it is reliable as heck, if
you do proper maintenance. Get … one of
these!!!
