Best Luxury Cruiser Ever — This car is an absolute pleasure to own and drive. Still a head turner after all these years. Most folks just cannot believe the comfort, power and modern styling for a car of this age. This car was selected as the Riviera Performance Group cover car for 2012.

Best American Made Car I Ever Had .. — I went to look at the 95" rivera when they first came out, it looks different from every angle ...Took a test drive and was amazed at the feel, ride , performance compared to the cadillac eldorado I had at the time ..I loaded the car up with every option , the msrp was 32,500.00 ; very pricey I thought at first .. I could have boughta BMW 3 series or a C -class mercedes for around the same price ..Overall the Buick in appearance , ride ,looks , and wow factor I bought the Rivera ...Its ashame Buick didn't market the car right ,they had a gem and didn't realize it ....PS I still own the car ,its been garaged kept & looks showroom new ..

Worth Every Penny It Takes To Fix..at Some Point It Will Be Brand New Again — I love the way this car handles and accelerates. It is the most luxurious ride ever. Body style is awesome. It has every option I can think of; however, the 95 seems to have a lot of mechanical problems. I have already put over $3000 in it, but it's worth it to me.

A Fantastic, Rare-ish, Underappreciated Buick. Not For Your Grandpa — I absolutely loved this car, but then again who doesn't love the first car they ever purchase. It was surprisingly quick, with a 3.8L supercharged V6 under the hood. With a couple simple modifications including performance tires and front and rear strut bars, handling wasn't too bad for such a large car. Large also means there was a huge amount of space in the front and back. Best of all though was the comfort; at highways speeds the car was incredibly quiet and just drifted over the bumps in the road.

Nice Mix Between Performance And Luxury — it feels super heavy, but when u get on it it definately has some go to it haha. It actually performs just as well as the new charger and an 87 corvette, once they actually got the motor in the car. nice inside, great highway car, not so much stop and go traffic.

95 Buick Riviera 9 Out Of 10 — I would say this car was built pretty good. The design is like no other, and the pure quality is up there with Cadillac. I loved this car with all my heart. The only problem I had with it was that it lacked in the performance department, but over all it's a nice car to own, it will last as long as you take care of it.

Love My Riv — Overall it's a great car! Built very strong, and is really comfortable! It IS a luxury car! Surprisingly powerful for such a large car. Fun to drive and it gets a lot of attention since there isn't that many around.

Looks Great, A Rare Find And Unique The Reason I Bought It. — I've had her for about 6 years now, it's kind of a love/hate relationship. When it's running it gets me where I want to go.

I Like The Styling, And Performance Of The Supercharger — Overall I like the car. It drives and rides well and the styling looks up to date. Performance of the 3800 supercharger is fun and I get about 27 mpg. The electrical system is complicated and expensive to repair.
