1996 Buick Roadmaster Sedan Limited 4 Dr review from North America
"Great comfort and good gas mileage for the size!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shift solenoid B.
Belt and tensioner need replacement.
Needs some body work on the passenger side, it was owned by an elderly gentleman with poor eyesight.
Finding replacement trim/ moulding is a royal pain!!!
General comments?
Great comfort, good acceleration, freezing cold A/C, roomy interior.
Gas mileage isn't bad for a car of its size and weight. I estimate around 20-23 mpg.
I have to say I am in love with this beast, my wife and kids do too.
My other cars are a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 260E in mint condition and a 92 BMW 525i, this was a big departure for me since I am a big fan of German engineered cars, but when it comes to highway running long distances or with traffic, nothing beats the comfort of the Roadmaster!
