1993 Buick Roadmaster 4 DSD sedan from North America - Comments

I had trouble with the power locks, but needed a new control unit installed under the dash. The alternator, radiator, and air conditioner compressor were all replaced as well.

I love to drive my Roadmaster. It is quiet, smooth, and responsive.

The leather interior is well designed and offers a lot of support. I like the woodgrain touches on the doors and dash, it still gives the great feeling of large GM sedans of the past.

I love the 350 V8, it is very fast and quiet, and gets 28 mpg on the highway.

The 4 note horn blasts the foreign autos right out of the way.

The outside appearence is very stately and sophisticated. The aluminum wheels lend a sporty sense to the overall luxurious body.

I find it very doubtful that a Roadmaster with 5.7L V8 can get 28mpg. I have the same engine in a Caprice, basically the same car and the best it does is about 22-24. It is a big motor and the car is heavy (mine is 4500 lbs).

Now on the other hand, the 4.3L engine available in some B-bodies could get as high as 25-26 mpg.

Still, both mpg ratings are nice for a big V8 sedan.

How about 27 mpg from Portland, Maine to Boston. This was without the A/C on. Now, only 23 mpg with A/C on constantly. Not a bad price to pay for a frosty ride in the summer heat!

Up in Canada in -20 Farenheit weather, my 92 Roadmaster with the 350 V8 gets 28mpg (around 10L/100km) on the highway. It has about 150000 miles on it and runs like a dream.

I have a 94 with 200,000 still gets 26-28 mpg on the highway driving around 75-80 mph.

I agree my 93 roadmaster gets 28 mpg. a little less when hauling 22' travel trailer. Rob from N.S.

Cape Cod, MA. to Augusta ME. Cruise control on, now AC. 27mpg.

I just bought a 1993 roadmaster. It has the 350 in it. Hauling my 14' tri-hull boat was a breeze. By the way my air shocks was leaking. Still went GREAT up I-95. Fix the air shocks and went even better. I love it so far.

26 mpg was the EPA-rated highway fuel economy for these cars, but that is only a rough estimate. In real world conditions, it may be possible to get slightly higher than that, say up to 28, but in most cases it will be well below.

We had a 1993 Roadmaster; drove it 10 years and it was totalled. We purchased another one with 125,000 miles and love it. We have gotten over 25 miles to the gallon on trips. We pull a flat bed trailer with it with no problem in the D1 gear. My wife and I agree that for comfort, power, safety and appearance we only want a Buick Roadmaster. Buick got it right with this model.
