1995 Buick Riviera review from North America
"A good classic American sports coupe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new shocks, struts, and front suspension bushings, but that would be normal for the miles and years on the car.
Needed a new radiator as the old one developed a crack in the plastic side tank. Why would they be so silly as to use plastic??
General comments?
Lots of fun to drive and very comfortable. Disappointed that there is a speed limiter at about 105 mph because the car is very stable up to that point. Good gas mileage if you don't romp on it, and if you do you will still get 20 mpg or better. Spend money on good tires. I recommend a Z rated rain tire.
Really like the styling and the comfort features are good too.
