1988 Buick Skylark review from North America
"A quick and well built little granny car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't had any major problems with the car, but the sun roof does leak and the defrost and windshield washer buttons have broke in the middle also the power antenna does not go all the way down. All of these problems started around 60,000 miles.
General comments?
I think this is a well built car, it has a good power plant. The quad-4 is a excellent engine, the little in-line four cylinder can out perform or keep up with most 6 cylinders. I think the the three speed trans should be up graded to a four speed for better highway mpg.
