  Great 2005 Buick PA - 2005 Buick Park Avenue
  By jerry - July 12 - 9:43 pm

  Although the car required a few minor adjustments initially, it has proved to be an excellent car. I am pleased with the ride, the overall performance and fuel economy. Having owned several PA"s this one seems to be the best of all. Very pleased.

  Beautiful vehicle, couldnt ask for anything better!!! - 2005 Buick Park Avenue
  By rob208 - June 25 - 11:45 pm

  I have a 2005 Buick Park Avenue Ultra Special Edition in white diamond tricoat and it is the most beautiful car Ive ever seen. The ride is very smooth, the seats couldnt be more comfortable, and everything is automatic, from the windshield wipers, lights, and much more. If you buy this car, you must get the Ultra with the supercharged engine, it is a rocket and flies effortlessly. This is not a car just for elderly people, I am under 20 and love this car, it is an eye catcher and is often mistaked for a Cadillac. It is absolutely gorgeous vehicle that drives great, gets 30+ mpg on the highway, plenty of room, and is a very reliable AMERICAN car. Very highly recommend.

  Comfortable cruiser - 2005 Buick Park Avenue
  By Randy - June 19 - 5:26 pm

  A dream to drive. Terrific highway mileage, apporaching 30 mpg. Comfortable seats and good sound system make long-distance driving a dream. The car is so well engineered that on straight roads, it drives itself; and Im along as a safety observer. Its a shame the resale value is poor, for its a better car than many with better resale, including one with all intitials as a name. But Ill never sell this car, so its of no relevance to me.

  I get 32 miles per gallon on the highway. The interior is very comfortable. At 6-2", I enjoy having headroom with the seat-back fully up. It handles well on wet and dry roads at freeway speeds even during heavy wind and storm.

  The Flash - 2005 Buick Park Avenue
  By K.F. - December 30 - 3:06 am

  I bought the P.A.Ultra with touring package (used) after owning a similar older Park Ave, which I grew to love. This car is a dream and the fuel injection gives it amazing power. The touring package makes handling very tight and responsive. The car is a TOTAL driving experience:great sound system, luxury comfort:walnut interior trim, leather seats, power everything, sunroof etc. It shows what American engineering can produce if it wants to. I hope the new model Buicks can carry on this fine tradition, but Id be surprised.This is a real car!

  Park Avenue - 2005 Buick Park Avenue
  By Paisley - March 21 - 10:00 am

  Buick has provided a most comfortable ride and a fair element of prestige and operational economy. The only real negative is the rapid depreciation and this will continue to plague the Park Avenue as well as most other domestic vehicles. Our service experience with the dealership has been excellent and we will probably continue to drive Park Avenues because for traveling and for storage capacity it has been a marvelous vehicle.

  The Worse Buick I Ever Had - 2005 Buick Park Avenue
  By Ron Tarigo - January 14 - 1:40 am

  This is my second Park Ave Ultra, and it is the worst. The gas mileage is the terrible. Suspension! You feel every crack and hole in the road. Outside sounds! You hear it all. Acceleration! Forget it. You need to press down all the way on the gas pedal to get it to accelerate. Steering! To make this car make a sharp turn, forget it. A sharp U turn it cannot do. A sharp turn into a parking space, after 3 to 5 up and backs you can get in the parking space. This is not a Park Ave Ultra. This is a car that was thrown together and put out to sell. I still have my 99 Park Ave Ultra and I will take it over this one any day. I leased the 2005 for 3yr. I wished I bought it so I could get rid of it .

  2005 - My 5th Park Avenue - 2005 Buick Park Avenue
  By Michael - May 8 - 9:06 am

  We purchased our 5th and sadly last PA, as our new 2005 was the last year available. We currently own a 1999 with 105K miles as well. Previously owned 85, 88 and 94 PA models. All 5 have been the most reliable vehicles I have owned and the most comfortable car to drive. Very good economy for a large car, consistantly 21 in town and 29 - 31 mpg on the interstate. The only major repair necessary on any of the 5 was a transmission service at 125K miles on the 1988. None have ever used oil and the GM 3.8L V6 is bullet proof and very quiet. If looking at pre-owned, I highly recommend finding one with the touring package. Ill be keeping the two I have now until the wheels fall off.
