I don't question the reliability and good handling of this car; in those years, and even more so this model, had those characteristics.
But the fact that in 25 years and with almost 2 million kilometers on the clock, it hasn't had a single defect worth mentioning seems highly doubtful to me. There are durable and reliable cars, of course, but none that are 100% perfect.

Probably not accurate.
I've owned cars that are considered worlds best cars, like the W123, Nissan Laurel, Toyota Camry and Volvo 240. There is always something that wear out. Even engines never last much beyond 500k, even with proper maintenance. And you can kill any quality car with lacking maintenance before 200k.

Hilarious. A "reviewer" from Lebanon who calls a Park Ave a "muscle car" and claims to have put nearly 2 million kilometers on the car gets called out because no problems were mentioned?

I was in Lebanon in the mid-2000s, and I remember seeing several american big cars on the streets. Dodge Coronet taxis were common. So there were Park Avenues around those parts as well. What I find strange is that I haven't had a single minor glitch in so many kilometers.

A 5.7 Liter V8 with no injection!? No way! I've always wanted one of those, but I always got stuck with a 5.7 Liter V8 with a CARBURETOR.
