1983 Buick Electra Reviews from North America

Windshield washers never worked.

Rear springs sagged.

Radiator hose blew at 190000.

Drivers power seat motor died at 198000.

I bought this car as a winter beater and it was very good to me. Drove it about a year. It was fun to drive this big beautiful boat around despite the complete lack of acceleration. Hey, what do you want from a 2+ tonne car with 150hp? Besides, these cars are about class :)

The 307 did what it was supposed to do well: produce enough torque to get the ship out of the harbour and run smooth and reliable. Even at over 200000 original Km, this engine was tight.

The tranny always shifted like butter, and the car got decent gas mileage on the highway. Easily the most comfortable couch on wheels you'll ever drive.

My fuel pump went out when I got the car at 77000 miles, but that is expected with a mechanical fuel pump.

My alternator went out at 77000 miles as well. Both of these things were expected because the car sat for about two years.

This car is the nicest car I have owned. It is the oldest, but most reliable. It is very cozy. It is considered a gas hog to moast people.
