1995 Buick Riviera review from North America
"Great looking, but unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Almost the entire cooling system has been replaced over the last six months. It began with a cracked intake manifold and has resulted in almost every piece of the system having to be replaced.
The ABS sensors continue to malfunction causing my ABS brakes to turn on while driving, sometimes at high speeds.
General comments?
This is a love/hate relationship with this car. My Rivi is the most fun car I have ever owned. It looks great, is extremely comfortable, and handles like a dream for such a big automobile.
However, I have never had so many problems with a car in my life. This car began nickel and diming me to death only two weeks after I purchased it. In the two years I have owned my Rivi I have spent over $3000.00 on repairs.
