1990 Buick Riviera review from North America
"The best car I have ever driven!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Until recently, nothing other than regular maintnance such as brakes, and tires has gone wrong with the car. There has been an occasional belt, hose, or water pump, and I did replace a couple of engine mounts.
Now that it has over 260,000 miles on it, the engine and transmission are starting to have some problems and may need rebuilding.
General comments?
This is my first car and is old as dirt by today's standards. Now that I have plenty of money to buy a new car, I can't seem to find anything that drives as well.
I really like the digital instrument panel.
