  A keeper - 1990 Buick Riviera
  By HarryP - November 23 - 4:26 pm

  Big, safe, powerful, smooth. This car gets about 26 mpg on the highway, yet has decent pickup and a high top speed. The center console is all digital and touch screen (factory), letting you know everything that is going on. Its had transmission issues, but its easy and cheap to find a replacement at the junk yard with decent mileage on it, being that the transmission goes in about 7 or 8 different GM models. Also, watch your speed in this car, I catch myself doing over 80 and it feels like most other cars do at 55.

  Best car Ive owned and so classy - 1997 Buick Riviera
  By DiAnna - October 5 - 11:46 am

  This indeed a really sleek beautiful, supercharged car. Very nicely built and holds up to about anything. I drive it in excess of 100 miles daily, never a problem

  Got to love it - 1997 Buick Riviera
  By keith - October 4 - 5:00 pm

  My car so far has given me all the fun and glory I need in driving and being seen driving. I love the shape, style, and I love Buicks. Very fun, sporty, classy, etc. If you are thinking about buying one, dont! Buy two!

  220,000 Miles and Still Going - 1996 Buick Riviera
  By Jayhawkerkid - August 3 - 2:22 pm

  I love my Riviera and if it was still made would buy another. Very few problems, original transmission, and still drives like a dream. Ive never owned such a maintenance free car.

  Best since 69 225 Electra - 1997 Buick Riviera
  By lovethatriv - June 24 - 10:35 pm

  This car is always a pleasure, even in the worst of circumstances. It has taken deep water on the road a few times with no problem. Once, when it did lose power, it maneouvred beautifully, and safely to the parking lane - no panic! However, at 11 years old, I get only 15-17 miles a gallon, but the performance and resulting safety are well worth it.

  Maybach has nothing on me but price - 1995 Buick Riviera
  By driver - May 15 - 3:05 pm

  I bought my car in 95. When I saw it I knew I had to have it. I have not been disappointed. In fact I have been quite surprised at the performance and comfort. I constantly drive from NY to Norfolk VA on a quarter of a tank of gas. I thought the gas guage was broken. But I have done it on numerous occasions and it is true. I love this car.

  Buick Rivera - 1999 Buick Riviera
  By |Doris - April 26 - 9:42 pm

  I had a 1998 Buick Rivera for 7 years, until last week when it was totaled in a car accident. Well |I just had to have another one. We looked for a week until my husband found me a 1999 like brand new. This car is great, I dont know why GM stopped making it.

  Best American Car Ever - 1999 Buick Riviera
  By Mike - April 12 - 11:54 pm

  The 1999 Buick Riviera is a beautifully designed and built car that can compete in every way to the Japanese or European carmakers. In the 1980s and 1990s the Riviera became something of a highly decorative boat anchor, but with the supercharged 3800 it jumped into the performance car category. The 3800 alone is the best engine out there and to supercharge it , you have the combination of performance and reliability. Overall this is the best car Ive ever owned, and Ive owned a lot of cars.

  My Baby - 1992 Buick Riviera
  By George Kernaghan - March 27 - 11:32 pm

  This automobile is the best road machine Ive ever owned. It is the best built, easiest to maintain and gets the greatest fuel economy for its size, weight and creature features. With an 18 gal tank full of gas I once drove 408 miles from KC to south central Minn without stopping to full up. You cant beat it in the mountians or the plains. Buick needs to bring this type of quality vehicle back into production Again! When General Motors built this car they broke the mold and built the best. Minor cosmetics items are all the repairs Ive made to Baby and its hard to find parts now. Next month, Florida!

  98 99 "Thats all folks" - 1998 Buick Riviera
  By pketch - October 14 - 9:45 am

  Just plain love it. Easy to work on. 33 mpg on the highway. Drives like a small car even though it is a monster. Bought it for myself but the wife stole it once I got it home. The sloping hood is what sold her. She has always been afraid of a big car. What sold me was the car and its history. I am so happy with this car that I am now buying a 99 which will replace a 2000 Cadillac Eldo.
