1994 Buick Skylark Limited review from North America
"A good first car for a daily driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission pan began to seep fluid at 54,000 miles.
My service engine soon light appears on the dash when I accelerate above 50 mph.
My engine mounts and struts began deteriorating at 60,000 miles.
General comments?
I haven't had any serious problems besides the ones listed above, other than basic car maintenance.
The car has performed well for a first car.
The back seat is uncomfortable and the factory radio is terrible.
I replaced the factory radio and was impressed to find that the factory speakers were excellent once a radio with more power was installed.
The electrical system on this car should have been better designed, but works for normal routine driving.
