1993 Buick Roadmaster Limited review from North America
"Powerful beauty despite GM's faults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Because of poor dealer service:
Starter was replaced twice.
Speed/odometer replaced (mileage counted backwards at 90000 miles).
Trim mouldings replaced 2x by the dealer (very expensive and coming off again!!).
Electrical short caused the windows/dash not to work.
Car wanders, constantly need to control the steering/sway (four mechanics and they still can't find anything wrong).
At 105000 miles it keeps losing power.
General comments?
Front seats not cushioned enough, exterior trim was applied about the worst I have seen with GM -cheesy plastic wood trim.
All that said I still love this car and will continue to buy low mileage Roadmasters when I can find them!!! Awesome power/looks/comfort!!! Wish they still made them!!
