1988 Buick Skyhawk LX review from North America
"Not a bad car, but not a great car, however I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There are so many problems with this car I don't know where to begin. I do like this car, but if you really look at it, it is a piece of junk.
First off, the windshield is cracked.
The interior light isn't reliable.
The entire roofing fell down, but fixable.
Dirty carpet, I doubt it could be clean.
Driver's seat is worn and torn.
Red paint is dull and lifeless.
Scratched, peeling paint on the rear.
Fuel gauge doesn't work.
Engine trouble sometimes.
General comments?
Handles well, turns great, drives itself practically.
