1990 Buick Skylark Custom review from North America
"Great car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Almost nothing has gone wrong with this car.
Alternator went at 54,000 miles.
Paint started to turn chalky and peel.
Muffler had a hole in it.
One tail light bulb burned out.
General comments?
This is a great car, especially for a first car.
The car has a lot of pep for a four cylinder engine.
Air conditioner is ice cold, and heat is nice and hot.
The car was repainted due to it peeling off, looks great now.
The factory speakers and radio are not that great.
Not that comfortable on very long trips. The car is a little small, front seat is roomy, but the back seat is a little tight.
