General comments?

This car was very comfortable, yet very unreliable. It did not handle interstate miles very well. This car cost me a lot of money, and now it has a knock in the engine. Great stereo though!!

I also have a 1997 Buick Skylark & the Quad 4 motor ALWAYS gets that knock. I also know Cavaliers and other GM cars qith 4 cyl. motors get noisy.

Turn up the volume on that great stereo system and the knocking noise will immediately disappear!
