1997 Buick Skylark Grand Sport review from North America
"A sporty Grandpa car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car runs great, or at least most of the time. I do find myself however gassing up quite a bit and buying coolant a lot.
Also, if you need this car serviced hopefully you know someone that can do it because if you have to take it in it's going to cost you.
I had some minor front end work done. I didn't think it would be that much, but when I got the bill, I thought to myself was it really worth getting the work done?
General comments?
I think that the GS model of the Skylark is a fine car to own.
I think the handling is alright for a boxy car.
I do like the pick up, both on the road and on the highway.
