Its fabulous Very comfortable. Great ride sad they are not made any more
Love all the auto stuff, the warming seats, automatic settings, heads up display, individual seat preference settings with keys Don't like the glove box. All weird shaped

Fantastic driver
I live my 2005 Park Ave. But, I'm having a problem with the shifting now. ? I just had to have a new air conditioner compress, condensor, dryer & orifices put on. Super cold now. The kicking is coming from a low line pressure problem when it shifts. No money to take care of that. ?

It has everything I want in a car. Good on gas. Comfortable on long trips. Has all the gadgets I was looking for. That's about it.I think I covered all of this in a few questions back.
It's a nice riding car. Quiet inside. Perfect car for me.

It is a model that is no longer available. If we could get a new model, we would!!!
It is a good sized car and rides well. I like the color and style. I wish it weren't so old and had so many miles on it. I would like it to last for many more miles. I am not looking forward to looking for a new car.

The vehicle battery is not made to sit with the car idling for a length of time.
I love the luxury of a Buick park avenue. This is our fourth one. We have found used ones in very good condition and had very good luck with each of them for years. There is really nothing I dislike about a Buick park avenue.

The Buick Park Avenue is a dependable comfortable vehicle that gets great gas mileage!
3800 engine is dependable, absolutely bullet proof. Most comfortable ride ever. Love the size of the car and good gas mileage.

It's a very boat like car but that's why I like it. Good protection. And rides smooth
Great car. Still have it today and our whole family uses it. My dad taught me how to drive in that car.

That with proper maintenance the car can last and run right.
The car is a very good dependable car, it now has over 400,000 miles on it (yes, we have taken care of it) and it is still going strong. No real issues with it except the driver window is always coming off track.

It has the 3800 motor which is a very good motor and it has over 200000 miles and is still running strong
It was very nice when we first got it but it has gotten old and has a lot of miles now

Safe well made 4 door sedan
My Buick Park Ave is a large 4 door sedan which I feel very safe in. I hear little outside noise while driving on back roads, highways, city streets and interstate roads. My Park Ave has not required expensive motor or other repairs. The gas mileage is great at and average of 28 MPG for a car that is very comfortable with leather seats that you can position to your needs. My Park Ave has a very sleek interior with a CD player, plenty of air vents, auto window controls and mirror controls. One of the biggest assets is that it weighs almost 5000 lbs and has 4' thick doors to make me feel very safe while driving
