Owner
perfect 1st car
by courtney in north idaho on 11/04/2005.
Trim: 1998 Buick Park Avenue Base, Owned 4 years.
1
Pros:
incredibly smooth ride, quiet, good speakers for being factory, classy, very safe, roomy, surprisingly good mileage for size of vehicle, much more power than one might expect from a buick! good traction on rain as well as ice (winters in idaho can be harsh!)
Cons:
leather interior not very durable (i use leather wipes on it constantly, yet it is beginning to crack a bit in the corners of the seats, and show some signs of wear on the center compartment as well as the steering wheel.)
of course the size of the car is a con too; while it is very safe and doesn't feel very big while you are driving it, it's not exactly a cute little sports car!
i've heard these cars have bad transmissions, but just be gentle with it! i haven't had a problem yet.
Overall review:
definitely would be a good first car for a kid...i am 17 and this car has been very good to me so far! doesn't break down, gets good gas mileage, safe (if the airbags aren't enough, i've got a hood that's practically ten feet long if i ever rear end someone!), easy to keep clean...even if it's not the most visually pleasing car, it's a great vehicle at an inexpensive price, and it gets me where i need to go!

High quality value car
by Older Pair on 08/15/2012.
Trim: 1998 Buick Park Avenue Base, Owned 10 years.
Useful?
Pros:
I'm a 10 year owner purchased from family. It gets good (18 mpg on regular octane to 22 mpg on higher octane city. 30 plus highway) mileage. Plenty of power for mountains or freeway acceleration. Very comfortable highway car for two of us. Lots of features. Has 67K miles just regular maintenance but replaced rear shock mounts. Mounted rear hitch for bicycles.
Cons:
Snow gets in wiper well. Needs more drink holders. Prefer more brake light in back window due to bikes.
Overall review:
Hard to fault utility of car for 10 years. It's dependable, inexpensive and comfortable.
