1996 Buick Riviera review from North America
"I am totally pleased with the car after 78000 miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radio sometimes stops and resets
Will not play a CD over 15 tracks...
Windshield Wiper Liquid storage container leaks.
Sometimes Warning that low oil level.. yet oil level is correct.
Speakers on driver side produce static (need replacing or connection problem)
General comments?
The Car is a pleasure to drive and is unique.
Comfortable climate control.
Stylish and fits in with 2003 model designs.. Many favorable comments.
Would not trade it for some of the new model cars because starts without fail and beats a Cadillac anyday.
Roomy and nice leather seats.
Why Buick discontinued this model is a question I ask myself daily...It's sorta like Chevrolet dropping the corvett...
