The pros and cons pretty much sum it up. It's a good older car that gets about the same MPG as a modern pick-up and is much nicer to drive on long trips with the added panache of the ancient body style plus it fits my large and bulky body. You'll always be able to find your car in the parking lot!Aug 20, 2012

Huge car + 307 Olds engine = poor acceleration. Took effort to churn tires on tar. The tie rod on my specific car was far out of alignment, so it handled like crap, pulled to the right hard. Brakes were excellent, good as the day it left the showroom (or back lot)l. Car was pretty tough, it hit a truck before I bought it. Running belt squealed like a stuck pig. I think the front fascia was ugly, loved the rims, loved the interior and the "wagon shape," the tailgate+taillights looked like a brick wall (ugly). Gas mileage must have been horrendous IDK, didn't keep track. All V8s are somewhat fun to drive, but this was the most boring one I've driven.Mar 28, 2011

This car was a BOAT!! Very reliable and strong motor. The car survived quite an impact with only cosmetic damage. You could have thrown bricks at this car all day and only put minor scratches on her. she was built like an ox! Very comfortable too. However it seemed like the car was to heavy for a 5.0L maybe GM should've dropped in a 350 for better get up and MPG. Sep 09, 2009

Old old old buick but built like a tank. My first REAL car, and i love and hate it. I've gotten into accidents with it, cant even tell, and if you can drive this thing, you're set with any other car.Jun 15, 2009

I love the car its VERY comfortable, and very reto-designed. the car is 24 yrs old and still runs great for 147K miles. had some power steering problems but other than that its a solid old car and gets very descent gas mileage for a 307 5.0L V8 with a 4-BBl carb! The car is very large but gets around great. Apr 22, 2008
