1995 Buick Park Avenue Ultra review from North America
"Nice car with some headaches"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Several rear lights burnt out.
CD player stopped working after 2 weeks of purchase, radio still works.
The thermostat system broke and now only blows cold air out of the defroster all the time.
There seems to be an overall problem with the electrical system in the car; the right turn signal just stopped working.
General comments?
I bought this car after driving my 1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88 for 3 years. Car looks and runs nice, but it lacks pick up a bit for such a big engine. I'm not sure if the supercharger is working.
The seats are really comfortable and there are plenty extra bells and whistles that make it nice.
I don't feel I'm getting good gas mileage like I did with my Oldsmobiles 3.8 engine.
The car is awesome on the highways and handles nice around town. In retrospect I probably should have gotten something smaller and more practical, but I have soft spot for GM cars. Any advice on how to handle the electrical issues would be great.
