    • The best car I've ever owned!

      By Lindsey on Tuesday, December 11, 2018

      The car was extremely comfortable and reliable. You could practically sleep in it. Bought the car around 70,000 miles. The car ran great. Had the breaks done, tires, oil changes, and few tune ups. Never had any other problems! I drove the car up to 235,000 miles (5 years of owning it) - and if I didn't total it, I guarantee I would still have the car. It also saved my life because of the size. Some people think "old person car". But if you have a car that's safe and reliable, who cares! They are coming out with super nice looking Buicks now and I'm looking into getting one. I miss this car!
    • Very reliable first car

      Bought the car when i turned 17 with 190k miles. Had no issues at all. First year of driving and only issue i had was it sucked down radiator fluid. at around 200 thousand miles it started to have issues. The transmission would buck, and it had a few electrical issues. The electrical issues were an easy fix. Just needed to rewire a few spots in the trunk. and the transmission diddnt act up but on occasion. at 209k miles the powersteering went and burnt up. then the ball and pinion went and its not worth fixing anymore. its kind of sad i loved that car. highly recommend for parents who want to get their kids a first car.

      I have owned this car for a long time and it has never let me down. I get great gas mileage and supreme comfort, it is easy to keep clean and not to expensive to maintain. I was looking for a newer car but cant seem to find anything comfortable enough to take its place.
