I owned a 95 model and it was very reliable. Some of the features were ahead of their time. Very nice and stylish car. I personally dont know what other models to compare it too its in a class of its own.May 11, 2020

Great car. Supercharger gives it kick. Front wheel drive is no fun. Very reliable car never had a major repair in seven years of ownership. Very fun. Easy to get wheel spin. 22-26 mpg, rarely at the pump. Overall great car!Jul 27, 2010

You can find these in immaculate condition for under $3k. Don't worry about the mileage. IF it's been properly maintained it will run forever. Supercharged and ultimate comfort. Rare design that never fails to turn heads. I don't know why Buick quit making these. Jan 16, 2010

This is my favorite out of all the cars i have owned. It accelerates and brakes awsome. The handling was a little questonable until i swapped in a strut tower brace and bonneville ssei struts and springs. It is really comftorable and gets really good over all mileage. The front of the car is gorgeous but falls short if you are looking at it from the back. Its built well but small replacements parts like switches and such are really expensive. luckily it shares alot of other parts with the gm line and most parts arent expensive. It is really fun to suprise people with how fast it is off the line when they think they have a fast car. oh i forgot to mention i have alot of gtp upgrades done to the motor and trans.Jul 18, 2009

Performance - excellent acceleration for it's size, good handling, braking is a little flaky sometimes.
Quality - No major operational repairs as of yet, just regular maintenance.
Appearance - Very nice and futuristic looking car. Needs paint and rear window sealant, but it is thirteen years old too.
Cost - guzzles more gas than I'd like, and uses premium fuel, but it could be a lot worse. Maintenance is expensive, but what car isn't expensive to maintain?
Fun - I like driving my land yacht, it is very comfortable , it is powerful, and I even get a few compliments here and there. To each their own though.Jun 25, 2009

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.Aug 09, 2008

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.Feb 14, 2008

The main coolant fan is not working in my daughter's 96 Buick Riviera. Both relays are good so what else can be the problem? The other coolant fan for the AC works fine
