It's Dependable. Has lasted a long time now and still has a long life left.
I'm a large person, it's roomy & comfortable. It's well made. It was expensive (but worth it)

It is safe for our child we have on the way. I love this car very much.
I love the way it drives. Just fixed a minor leak but now everything is great. Has a beautiful interior. Very nice technology. Heated seats are great. CD and cassette player is wonderful.

It drives good, handles good, uses no oil. It is made out of good material that lasts and lasts, not like aluminium that is currently used for newer cars.
I love my car. It had 75 K on it when I bought it used around 5 yrs. Ago. It doesn't use any oil and it's only 1/2 qt. Low when I change my oil every three thousand miles. I rarely had to fix anything on it and it drives like a cadillac and I have had several cadillac's.

My favorite thing about our car is the reliability. Needs occasional repairs, but not always having something go wrong with is amazing.
Our buick has been one of the most reliable cars we have owned. Because it is older, it has needed some repairs, but it's back to new when they are done. We have the "super charge" feature, which is great for passing.

Buick park avenues are fantastic!!
I really like my Buick Park Avenue. It has so much room inside and runs great. It can comfortably fit 3 in the back and 2 in the front without anyone in the back touching each other. It also has a huge trunk and drives very smooth I absolutely love it.

Excellent safety record. Feel safe driving this car.
I like that my car is very comfortable and I can adjust the seat up & down and many other ways. It also has heated seats which is wonderful in the winter. I also love that it has automatic start. I can get into a warm car in the winter and a cool car in the summer! The part I don't like is the sides of the windshield block my vision a little bit.

Best vehicle I have ever owned.
My park avenue is old but over the last few years I have replaced essential safety items. I give the vehicle good maintenance. It is comfortable to drive, a pleasure to ride in and even gets reasonable mileage considering its weight. For its age it is in excellent shape and condition. I have found the vehicle to be quite reliable in operation and handling. It has more power than is needed but when you apply the gas you move. As a park avenue it has the comforts and accessories that you like but most vehicle did not have. I appreciate the fact that it is enjoyable to operate and to travel the highways and byways. It is substantial enough that you feel protected as one drive's.

Best car I have ever owned.
I purchased this car from an older lady. I have owned for almost five years. Minimal problems, car rides like a dream. This was a $32000 vehicle in it is day.

Buicks are very large cars and can be tricky to park.
I like that it is very open and provides a lot of space. However, it's terrible on gas and I hate the looks of it.
accountCircle Clint W
It's size makes it great for transporting both people and cargo. I can use it for most trips to move things to my storage unit or carrying boards for home improvement projects, but it's still small enough to be practical in the city
I like that it is spacious in the inside, and it looks nice. I dislike the outdated stereo and that now that it's older it's having lots of problems. I've had to take it into the shop multiple times in the past year

Even though it's older and not fancy, it helps me to perform my job!
It squeaks.It's old. It has a large trunk which is handy. It has nice leather seats
accountCircle Garnett C
It runs smooth high quality performance to my standard.
Park avenues are a real reliable high performance car. It has power windows. The only problem that I have with it right now is the gas hand has stopped working along with the power seat on the driver side. It has good climate control heat and air works excellent.

Why I like my Buick park avenue.
My Buick park avenue is a good reliable car with leather interior automatic windows heat and ac along with passenger climate control some of the problems include your normal wear and tear that you get with cars that old now a days no car lasts forever if they did that would be wonderful.
accountCircle Andrea P
Spacious beautiful old car.
I have a burgundy 2002 Buick park avenue in great condition, leather heated seats. Drivers side window is heated. Spacious gas saver.
accountCircle Nikki N
It gets extremely good gas mileage.
I like that it drives good and it was give to me, but I do not like that it has problems and has been messed up.
accountCircle Gabby G
Buick’s are very spacious.
I like the Buick park avenue for everything but looks. It is very spacious and drives very smooth. However, gas mileage is an issue. I have had the car for quite a few years and haven't had too many issues out of it other than cylinders going bad every now and again.
