1989 Buick Riviera consumer reviews

This a just a fun ride! Heads turn when you are driving around town! You see ?they remember? look in their eyes ! It was a flashy vehicle when knew and it stood for a luxury vehicle back when it was new! Great new features as the display area! It still works! Great detailing in the dashboard. Wood grain features!

Advanced for its time -- touch screen controls. Very low miles. Body in great condition. Interior in great condition, everything works.

Owned; Bought at 27,000 mi a 97 RivWhite superchged,sunroof, in2002,garaged,have 59,000 in ten years and except for battery and tires,and new brakes...it has been incredibly reliable, sweet, rides well,fast when pushed, 19,6 miles per gallon when easy driver; 14.7 when push.....absolutely the pleasure car without comparison,full leather interior,...other than Eldo same vintage..ride is soft, little sway when tight corner...beats all SUV's for comfort....would buy new if available..not like a sports car; not hard tight ride!

I bought the car off a an old family friend for 800$ after i wrecked my Mitsubishi Lancer. I was expecting a clunker and some time spent in the emergency lane on the highway with the hood up but i was very wrong. The first few weeks I would wake up in the morning, get in the car and think 'this is the day it wont start' but aside from a few minor repairs the engine never failed me. The gas mileage could have been better but all the other features definitely made up for it. When a friend would ride with me they would be surprised to see a 1989 model car with a touch screen computer in it, automatic everything, and a very comfortable interior. A very good purchase for the price and i would recommend one to anyone!

Personally i absolutely loved my Riv i took great care of it, when i first got it i was ecstatic it looked great with a nice blue paint job with a white soft top with white pin striping. A lot of people said they did not like the CRT screen but to me it added so much prestige when people got in my car and asked me what it was (then i would go on to list all the features that my car offered(Power seats Power windows Power locks Rear air ride sapinshion, and all the features of the touch screen) it made me a proud owner) it had 4 wheel disk breaks
