1995 Buick Riviera review from North America
"A reliable performer worth the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am surprised at all the problems folks have had with the 1995 Riviera. This is my third Riviera and unquestionable the best of the three. I just replaced all four tires, two rear shocks, belts and brake maintenance; I think this is probably predictable with any car. I think the problem that people are having is they really don't know how their car was maintained when they bought it as used. Understandably, the cost of maintenance on the Riviera may run you a bit more money than other cars, but this is not just another car. It truly is a luxury sport car. When buying used, please ask for previous maintenance records so you have an idea of what was an was not done to the car. I got top dollar when I sold my first to Rivieras', but this one I'm going to hold on to for two reasons: 1. I truly enjoy this car and, 2. they don't make them any longer.
General comments?
A true luxury sport car with room to spare.
