1990 Buick Reatta User Reviews

Instant classic. Fun to drive and beautiful. Will appreciate

An Awesome Two Seater Alternative To An Sl Mercedes! — Handles great, runs well all the time, decent gas mileage considering weight. Nice fit and finish from GM with Riviera dependability. Buick missed the mark on this one, pricing it originally a over 37,000 and building them essentially by hand. A failed marketing concept that ends up being highly collectable. Good for us, bad for GM, I suppose.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

A Rare Jewel That Is Underappreciated By Most. — This was a great car that I owned for almost 5 years. It was WAY ahead of its time. It drove great, was comfortable. It had EVERY luxury feature you could possibly think of for a car of that time period. It was like driving a spaceship. It was a Buick that some mistoke for a Porsche or Ferrari

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Good All Around 2 Seater - A Worthy Investment — Performance: Better then adequate (My Reatta is a 1990). Build Quality: For 1990, build quality was excellent. For 2009, it would be an 8 of 10. Always liked the appearance; especially the tail lights. I bought my Reatta from the original owner (76,000 miles). She kept the saddle color interior near-flawless (I'd rate it a 9.5 of 10)Shows very, very little wear. Original arctic white paint is an 8 out of 10 (never been in an accident and still has luster but some minor paint fade near trim). Mechanical parts are not difficult to find (many are shared with the Buick Riviera). Aesthetic parts to find can be a challenge to find but thankfully, there is eBay! Cost of ownership is high just like any used car in limited production. But the engine is bullet proof. It's an all around good two seater, a great cruiser and in very good condition, can be found for $5,000 (and will either sustain its value or increase).
