  Miss it already! - 1996 Buick Riviera
  By HDLover - February 14 - 5:53 pm

  I had my Riviera for 6 years. I just traded it in on a Cadillac CTS. It only had 69,000 miles on it when I traded it in. I sure hope I didnt make a mistake. This Riviera was the most reliable and comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. Handles great, sporty feel for a big car. Dont hesitate if you are thinking about buying one and it is in good shape.

  Buick Riviera Longtime Owner - 1996 Buick Riviera
  By mkdeloach - November 16 - 5:22 pm

  I owned and drove my Buick Riviera from 1996 thru 2004 and never had any major problems from it whatsoever. My complaints would be 3. After 3 years of owning it, the front hood paint began to peel/rust and though it should have been under warranty, GM wouldnt do anything about it. 2nd thing was the heated seat quit working after 2nd winter, it was $500 to repair so I didnt fix it. 3rd thing was the CD player had a problem. Those 3 things aside, I only had to do the regular maintenance (tuning, belt changes, oil, etc.) and I drove it 164000 miles and believe I could still drive it another 100000 but moved to city and need smaller car. Awesome car! I would buy another, if it were smaller!

  Riviera - 1996 Buick Riviera
  By JustL - September 24 - 2:00 am

  Fine car with styling so ahead of its time that the new Buicks have similar styling features such as the sharp curved fenders and slopping roof curves. See the Buick experimental two seater and the new replacement for the Regal. Has a rigid chassis and frame that results in straight tracking especially at high speeds. Its rigid body is similar to a Pugeout that I owned years ago. But with style and power.

  American Sportscar - 1995 Buick Riviera
  By PsychUOut13 - May 27 - 2:00 am

  When my dad rolled home with this beauty, I fell in love instantly. I because a Buick fan, both new Regals and old GSXs thanks to this car. From 60K to 160K miles, it was amazing. Since 160K, repairs starting coming, as can be expected, some which are expensive... but all in all, its a great car, I loved it day 1, and I love it after 5 years. Supercharged 3800 is the best engine ever made (and Im an import junkie)

  96 Riviera a joy to have - 1999 Buick Riviera
  By LDrunner - May 25 - 2:00 am

  Have had car 7 weeks. Put almost 5000 miles on it and now near 94k. Have not put a dime into car and it has no issues to deal with. Starts instantly, plenty of power, room, comfort ,features and safety. Just figured my gas mileage is 28.4 for last 4000 miles, of which less than half is on interstates. My new Silverado has been parked since I got it

  BRASS AND CLASS - 1992 Buick Riviera
  By MAGICBOX - April 14 - 2:00 am

  THIS RIVIERA FEELS LIKE LUXURY, AND HAS ALL CONVENIENCES OF LUXERY, BUT HANDLES LIKE A SPORTS. IT OUTDRIVES MANY OF THESE SO CALLED SPORTS CARS, TRUST ME I KNOW. THIS AUTO IS BETTER THAN BOTH CADILLACS IVE OWNED.

  ZOOM ,ZOOM - 1995 Buick Riviera
  By The Zoomer - April 13 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. I love to drive it on the open road. Its great for passing semis.The only thing I dont like is the slope in the rear window. On a grey drizzly day its hard to see behind you.

  This Riv is not just a beauty, it is one of the best riding cars I have ever owned. NO problems, just great to look at and and comforable to drive. It is a future classic.

  HOW COULD THEY STOP SELLING SUCH A GEM! - 1999 Buick Riviera
  By CanadianGirl - March 18 - 2:00 am

  I had my first Riv in 98 and put 40,000mi on it in 6mths so traded for a 99 - *the last of the best*. Ive driven this one across Canada in the winter snow, Ive commuted to Florida many times and its a breeze. This car has more guts than most, is SO comfortable to drive, lots of trunk space (2nd only to the Caddy SeVille,) sharp looking, and is just plain SEXY. Why on earth did they stop making them? GM - ya goofed big time! (as you did with the Olds Touring Sedan.)
