It's runs good on gas and it's miles.
I like the fact that it's good on gas. It makes the most out of the car. I really like the air conditioning I. It
accountCircle Toby G
It has heated seats which is really great in the winter.
We bought this car used. It had been owned by one person who did not use it often so it had low mileage. We have not had any major problems just the regular maintenance.
accountCircle Robert S
Fully loaded a real luxury car.
One of the best cars I, very ever owned. Just been routine oil changes. No mechanical failures at all very happy.
accountCircle Leslie R
Love the size, hate that it takes premium fuel though.
The belts are impossible to change on your own. You have to take it to a shop or have a hoist.
accountCircle Trace S
The oil level and how much gas is in it.
The air works bad the brakes are messed up flat tire battery constantly goes out windows don't work has seat warmers radio works good the tires pull the car to the right when driving it gets good mileage and it smells like gasoline.

Roomy, reliable, and built to last.
I have loved both the Buicks I have owned. Both were pre-owned, older vehicles and still worked fantastically. I am not very good at taking care of my cars, unfortunately, but they still held up really well. Both of them have had minor oil leaks but not too bad. I especially love how roomy they are. Our park avenue is perfect for our family. The back seat can fit three child seats and the trunk fits our big double stroller and all our groceries with room to spare.

The motor is one of the best motors ever and the transmission also. The interior had superb workmanship and quality material.
This car has been the best car that I have ever bought. The workmanship was very good. GM can be proud of this make and model and they should have never quit making them.

Dependable, comfortable, high quality.
I love my Buick. It is incredibly dependable, roomy enough for my family, and very high quality. It is lasted through the past couple decades in wonderful condition. The last year or so it is had a few problems that need fixing but nothing serious. It is still my favorite car I have owned.

Straight up junk
Buick is 100 percent peice of s**t and that explains it best !!!!!
accountCircle Cassidy D
The interior is nice and the seats are really comfortable. Smooth rides.
The Buick is not good with going up hills because of its weight. It goes really fast down hills so you have to use your brakes almost constantly down the hill, 3rd gearing and 2nd gearing helps but not a lot at all. Stereo is easy to blow so down put the volume up too high or you'll blow your speaker.

Smoothest driving boat for the road with fantastic gas mileage on long trips.
I love how smooth my buick drives. It has fantastic road noise blocking ability. I dislike that it feels like I am driving a boat.
accountCircle Sandra D
Buick are great automobiles.
It is 18 years old it has been a good car. It was very dependable. I wouldn't take nothing for it. Nothing like a Buick. It is like riding on a cloud. The motor is great. All in all it is great car.
accountCircle Melissa B
I drove thru a flooded street and she's still driving.
It has lots of kick down power but its too big of a body and too low to the ground. I like the way it runs, and always starts even when its cold out. In its time it was probably a very wonderful car. Its lived a long life and is still kicking. Its very roomy inside, living in Minnesota it is showing the signs of rust.
accountCircle Antoinette C
Consumes a lot of gas, it also performs well in bad weather.
Likes that it is roomy, dislikes are that it burns a lot of gas, it drives comfortably also good on highway but not on city streets.
accountCircle Jennifer R
A classic with one complaint.
Only one handle works which is the back passenger side so we have to climb in the back to open the doors or roll down the front window. They have been replaced before. The seats are amazingly comfortable and roomy. The trunk is spacious. The heater is efficient and quick which is great for Midwestern winters. The car has really done us well over the years and my partner wants to get another one in a newer year.

Buick is the best
I love my Buick Park Ave! I travel for business and have to haul equipment. Has a spacious trunk, inside of the car is roomier and comfortable. It glides down the road with plenty of pep. You can't beat the 3800 motor.
accountCircle Julie E on April 3, 2021
Love my park avenue. Heated seats, cruise control.
It has been very reliable, no major repairs, runs smoothly, fair on gas mileage, love the heated seats. Even though it does not have the features of a new car, back in the day, it had all the bells and whistles available. I would purchase a Buick again.
