1996 Buick Riviera SC Coupe review from North America
"Excellent in all ways"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got car, noticed CD player had problem each day after 40 minutes of use.
Remote key-less entry needed battery clip inside re-soldered at 132000 miles.
General comments?
This car was like new when I got it. Hardly a wrinkle in the leather seats.
Every option is on the car and every feature still works perfect, except the CD player gets a skip after it gets hot.
Expected 23 mpg based on reviews, but actually get 28-29 mpg in my long 94 mile daily commute.
Love driving car so much that my 2001 Silverado that cost me 4 times as much just sits now.
Unbelievable quality. Quiets the road and far more comfortable than any car or truck I have ever ridden in.
All the luxury, no repairs, all works perfect. Way more than I expected.
