1995 Buick Riviera Coupe review from North America

Factory CD player doesn't work. Gets eRR as an error message when tries to play a cd. I ordered a new one, it should be here shortly.

I originally had a 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with 16,000 miles on it. I know about class. Personally, this car keeps up the standard. Its large, powerful and moderately fuel efficient. I drove from Brunswick Ohio, to Columbus Ohio with the cruise set at 60 MPH the whole way there. It only consumed 3.2 Gallons of gasoline and the trip was about 123 miles total. That's GREAT gas mileage, granted it was only doing 1500 RPM while doing it. If you keep your foot out of it, its not painful to the pocket book. Routine maintenance makes this car VERY reliable. No car is going to run for a super long time without TLC.

The interior is spectacular! I love the way the gauges look. They retain an older style look with a modern feel. The leather is very supple. At 75000 miles there aren't any tears or fading or even any sign of thinning out. The ride of this vehicle is far above average. Its like floating on air. With a 3800 engine, its got superb acceleration. The way the transmission is set up really utilizes the engines powerzones and allows for on the fly reflex. The steering is heavenly. There is a mechanism that works in conjunction with the steering pump that makes the steering super easy at low to stopped speeds and it stiffens up for more control at higher speeds. Has great air-ride suspension. I don't have the Supercharged version, but I can't imagine any MORE horsepower! The body is sleek and free flowing. The way the lines flow from headlights to tail lights is amazing. Sure, it takes a special person to truly admire this car, but believe me, if you ever rode in one or had the chance to own one, you'd never want anything else. I had a pontiac Fiero before this. I loved my fiero to death, but there are some things more practical to own. hats off to the Riviera's designers for their ingenuity, and sense of style. This car truly is concept car caliber. As its old slogan went "Its the concept car you can park in your driveway" and in a world polluted with drab square style, and boring overused bodies, this car truly stands out in a crowd.
