1992 Buick Park Avenue Ultra review from North America
"Great reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump, alternator, serpentine belt, brakes twice in 5 yrs, rusted hood latch, EGR valve and leaky rad all had to be repaired. Interior plastic liner unglued, the radio button got lost somewhere and the gas gauge only registers a min of 1/2 tank regardless of how empty it is.
General comments?
Very fast, reliable and comfortable car on highway. I do 800 km on a tank so pretty good on fuel consumption. Good sized trunk, and basically and all-around fantastic car. For 5000$, I've driven it for 5 years and I really can't complain. What do you want more?
