1977 Buick Electra Limited review from North America
"The most reliable ANYTHING I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator went bad a few years ago.
Replaced 25 yr. old water pump.
General comments?
Handles great for its size.
Engine puts out more than enough power.
Can easily smoke any four-banger.
It's super reliable (25 years and it still hasn't left me or my family stranded)
The only bad things about this car is the gas mileage (as low as 6 MPG in the city), and it has the original 8 track player in it, but the stock speakers are actually pretty good.
And finally, it's WAY better than our Maxima!
