1995 Buick Riviera review from North America
"An overrated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All within the past 9 months:
Air compressor replaced.
Water pump replaced.
Serpentine belt replaced.
Power steering pump replaced.
Multi-function turn signal (nearly $700)
Transmission rebuilt.
General comments?
Love the look of the car. Like the way it drives, and it handles well in ice and snow. Like the way I look in it!
But it has been a total lemon.
Currently having to replace the battery, which is the dumbest design (being under the back seat).
Electrical system is on the blink with panel lights coming on and off, the temperature light won't turn off when turning off the car, the blower will not turn off.
Overall, it has been a nightmare. Too bad, since it is such a nice looking car.
I will never buy another Buick anything, and may never buy another GM product.
