It has the look, stance and feel with all the modern safety and technology.

This car is very reliable. The performance is very good, and it great for getting to the a and b. The seats are very comfortable, and it fits a good amount of people. The seats can warm since up in the winter. There is a lot of space in the trunk and it fits a lot of times.

Muchelle

Spacious, radio and temp control on steering wheel

Love this car still rides smooth with almost 200k on it.

Very nice traveler, heads up display a great addition!

The reliability of my Buick park avenue ultra is exquisite! The commonly unexpected supercharger adds a nice element of surprise for others and sometimes, yourself. After 122, 000 miles being put on it the o2 sensors have been clogged and I recently have had to replace them. I keep up on necessary oil changes and do not seem to have any problems. The lights on the inside/outside temperature burnt out before I purchased the car and have had to replace the fan, it had begun to overheat the engine. This car has luxury features such as heated seats, automatic and memory seats, sunroof, as well as a dash projector of the speed on the windshield and rides very smooth. Perfect for long travels! I have no complaints, just necessary fix ups here and there as I have previously stated.

Like a Timex. Only with a lot more maintenance!

Shocks, oil, brake/power-steering fluid, radiator, a/c, battery need replacing/maintenance/repairs too frequently. While the driving experience itself seems like there is a delay in all areas, from steering to braking and even accelerating. While it has provided many hours of operation, I am not sure I would recommend this vehicle to others.

Layne L

It is a decent looking car and has a smooth ride, however, it has a lot of small issues.

Though the car rides smoothly and does not have any major problems as far as its motor is concerned, it does have a lot of minor issues. The windows don't roll up and down because the levers are rusted. The car's locking mechanisms are messed up and the key fob no longer works, but if you use the indoor lock mechanism, the alarm goes off. It's kind of a mess. If I could afford to upgrade, I would.

Elaine F

Great dependable car that has been a good car for us.

This is a great car. Runs good get great gas mileage. Leather seats large comfortable leg room. Even though it is old it still runs great and is very reliable. I bought this from the second owner. She took very good care of it. I have done regular maintenance on this car since I bought. .

Ryanne K

It is reliable transportation, even with high mileage.

It is very reliable. The car has 200,000 miles on it and still runs well. However, the interior is falling apart.

ABBY w

It drives very well and is quite dependable. I have had this car for awhile now and have not had very many issues with it

I dislike how big the vehicle is, I feel like I am driving a boat. However, I do like how spacious it is inside and the back up sensor, as well as the heated seats

Deborah H

Handles well and seats are comfortable.

I like my car. It drives comfortably and handles well. It gets good gas mileage and has not had any recalls. The prices of parts and labor to fix the car are reasonable. The seats are comfortable and I like that there are controls for the radio and temperature on the steering wheel. I have had no issues with the car driving in the snow.

John F

It is blue has a dent on the passenger side.

Reliable gas gauge needs fixed sway bar needs replaced and some breaks plus tires but for the most part runs ok.

Taylor Z

Good heat, loud music, comfortable.

Gas gage and the speedometer don't work, you have to open the gas tank from the trunk by pulling the lever, the driver side window doesn't roll down and the tape player doesn't work and the right front speaker is going out, the seats are torn in a few spots, and it makes a ticking noise kinda loud.
