Reviewing: 1996 Used Buick Riviera 2 Dr STD Coupe

Car runs great, has the infamous 3.8 liter V-6.  The best riding car on the highway that I've ever owned.  The worst handling car otherwise.  Good fuel economy, good reliability, odd, if not good looking.  Also it's a car that you can work on yourself if your ever in the need.

Pros — Same as above
Cons — Hard to find parts for, especiall the body

I'm a huge fan of this car.  Very comfortable, spacious, and luxurious considering the
price.  The 3.8L Supercharged V6 has amazing torque from off the line, and often even on
steep hills in overdrive does not downshift!

Relatively rare on the streets, only 27,000 were made in 1996.  Quite possibly the rarest,
cheapest car you'll find that is actually worth owning.

Pros — Quick, big, comfy, reliable
Cons — Gas mileage in town is about 16 to 17.
