1996 Buick Riviera 2 door review from North America
"Excellent luxury car for the budget conscious consumer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side seat belt locked up.
Passenger side window froze. Problem fixed itself.
General comments?
Rides great. You can pass over rail road tracks and other minor flaws in the road without hardly feeling a thing.
3.8 super-charged engine makes passing and speeding up easier than pie.
Power steering feels numb. Over-steering happens a lot when you first get the car.
Nice comfortable seats.
The trunk has a lot of cargo space. Very surprising for the size.
Even at 160000+ miles, not a rattle is to be heard.
