Overview & Reviews

A revamped Park Avenue Ultra, chock-full of aesthetic goodies, emerges for 2003. This Ultra model features a new grille, side mirror-mounted turn indicators, 17-inch chrome-plated aluminum wheels and retro-style fender portholes. The three holes on each front fender are meant to link the updated 2003 model to Buick's 40-plus years of design heritage. The Ultra also boasts an improved ride, largely due to the specially-tuned Gran Touring suspension and rear stabilizer bar, both of which are standard Ultra equipment. Inside, faux wood grain trim and a new gauge cluster graphics help define the Ultra's fresh look.

• Big and comfy interior, strong V6 engine, attractive design, good value.

• Sometimes flimsy assembly quality, floaty ride without Gran Touring package.

  We love our Park Avenue! - 2003 Buick Park Avenue
  By 007 Blond - July 10 - 2:03 pm

  Our 2003 Buick Park Avenue is a pleasure to drive. There are no blind spots so we have full view of what is around us when maneuvering in traffic. Comfortable ride is what we get, even on bumpy roads. Our other car, a Lexus, has a blind spot and we feel every bump, so we really appreciate riding in our Buick. There are no rattles so body integrity is built in. Our only problem at the moment is that we need new wheels because of a damaged rim and the dealer is having a problem getting replacements. This car is great and we hope Buick brings back the Park Avenue.

  Comfortable and Quick - 2003 Buick Park Avenue
  By T. Green - May 13 - 10:00 am

  It has the seat comfort for long trips. Easy in and out. Mileage is about 17 to 18 in town which is great for a 380 supercharger. Air controls for passenger and back seat. Classic look. I get compliments on how good looking the car is.

  When Better Cars are Built Buick Will Bu - 2003 Buick Park Avenue
  By E. G. Chandler - August 15 - 10:00 am

  My Buick has never failed to perform in top form. I live in the Desert Southwest where tempratures as high as 115 degrees are common and it has never failed to perform. The Royal dealership in Tucson is without question the best I have ever delt with in always caring for each problem I might have.

  My second leased Ultra - 2003 Buick Park Avenue
  By rdg - December 8 - 2:00 am

  Car is very comfortable. Get alot of complements - appears the new port holes get attention with Ultras chrome wheels. The 2003 addition of front and rear stablizer bars keeps the car relatively flat in corners as compared to the previous 2000 Ultra I leased. Overall I have found Ultras (2000 & 2003) very reliable and mechanically troub

  03 Buick Ultra - 2003 Buick Park Avenue
  By Buick03 - September 26 - 9:33 pm

  This Buick Ultra really looks good to me. It has some "sparkle" to it. I like the quiet ride and wonderful radio sound. Handles very good, and wonderful engine. I have had older Park Ave Ultras, and they have been great cars!

  Ultra! - 2003 Buick Park Avenue
  By Drew - September 17 - 7:30 pm

  i love this car. I dont know how the regular Park Ave is but the Ultra is awesome. The supercharger is such a convienience not to add I rarely loos the random red light races. I get 28 miles to the gallon which is great. It gets the best fuel economy in its class. If you dont have one I suggest you look into it. Great car all around.

  A pleasure to drive - 2003 Buick Park Avenue
  By forklift - November 14 - 10:00 am

  I have the Park Avenue SE, and Ive been nothing but pleased. The 3.8 engine is capable of doing the job, and provides acceptable gas milage for a car this size. I drive in New York City, and the ride is pretty smooth. I wish the Gran Touring suspension package was available in all Park Avenue models, but cest la vie. Still, I would recommend this to anyone. Since Cadillac changed their body styles, I actually find the Park Avenue to look better. Finally, for under $40K, there is no other car that offers this much luxury.

  Travel Tales - 2003 Buick Park Avenue
  By Don Ely - September 26 - 10:00 am

  Have owned this Ultra for about 5 months, now. Just finished a 4500 mile driving tour around all the Western states. Great trip, averaging 28.3 miles per gallon fully loaded with A/C on all the way. Comfortable, easy driving. Have owned many (17) Buicks. This one is great, but its not a Roadmaster.Buick needs to revive the Roadmaster. Id buy in a minute.
