Bertha, the white Buick - is now at 214,000 miles and still going strong. It's very solid - inside and out. It's a shame that GM disc. the 6 cyl. 3800 series motor b/c now - Bertha might be replaced with a crossover and they don't have those motors anymore - only smaller V6's. I have never done any kind of major repair - only maintenance, in fact - not as I should have. As long as one does regular minimum maintenance, This car is unstoppable!

This is our second Park Ave and its the best luxury car for the money. I tried to talk my wife into looking at other cars, but as you know Ultras are getting harder to find. She test drove several, but nothing compares.

I could not have made a better choice.
I jst love this car. The way it looks
to the way it handles on the road. I
love Peacock Buick and Bob Evers. He
is the best salesman I ever had. No
pressure at all. He knew every detail
about the Park Ave Ultra , then I ever
wanted to know....

The Mrs. & I both drove Buick Regals &
had no idea that the Park Ave was so
comfortable. My wife suggested we try
& test drive one - oh my, what
comfort. I purchased one & am soo
thrilled I did. Thanks to her I feel
so happy every time I get in the car.
told so many people about the comfort.
Was at the local hardware store & when
I came out 2 men were admiring my Park
Ave. I talked one of them into sitting
in the drivers so he could feel real
comfort. Thanks GM

Performs as better than my last Ultra.
Gas milage/performance are superior as
you get both with this vehicle.
The Ultra gives the buyer Most
available options from GM for the lowest
cost i.e. Stabilitrack, heads up
display, 12 disc CD player, built in
phone, leather interior, sun roof,
chrome mag wheels, and many other
options.

The spacious trunk is a big plus but
the sheer comfortable ride is far
better than the numerous other cars I
have owned/driven. The pick up in this
Ultra is great for a familly sedan.

Drove Chrysler products for years but
switched to Buick - from Century to
Park Ave. Best car we have ever owned
by far.
Great road car.

Effortless acceleration and smooth, gliding
ride. Gran touring suspension is the only
suspension I have ever had in my Park Avenue,
this being my second. Although the engine
is12 valve push rod technology, the
supercharger provides ample power with
excellent gas mileage. My 94 Ultra was a
great car, that is why I bought another one.

Bought new 2/03, trouble from 1st
1,000miles. road vibration in front
wheels. Dealer unable to correct with
new lower control arms, new
suspension, road force balancing, new
wheels, new tires, and other means,
all with GM approval. After many
trips to dealer, forced Buick to re-
purchase vehicle. My third Buick Park
Ave, Ultra is my last.

I have had this car for 11 months. To
date it has not been back to the dealer
for any warranty repairs. The
supercharged engine gives it plenty of
power and it was very comfortable on
the one long trip (3000 miles) that I
have taken.
Happy with Park Ave

This is my second Buick Park Avenue,
the first one I put more than 200,000
miles on & it was still a good car that
we sold to someone who only drives
around town. I still see my other one
on the road. I have found the comfort
and handling of the Park Avenue to be
very very good as I am on the road
quite a bit with my job.

This is my 4th Park Ave. They have lots
of gadgets (that work!), real
comfort,safety, and outstanding gas
mileage. More pricey foreign cars are
greatly overrated by the "pundits" who
seem to hate Detroit.The P.A's are very
popular with owners.

Having first decided to buy a US made
car that is roomy and gets good gas
mileage, the list came down very
quickly. I have had six cars with the
Buick V-6 engine, and it seems to be a
decent compromise. Reliability has been
generally good, and I am comparing that
to three S-Class Benz models I have owned.

The Buick started out as a nice idea.
Looked comfortable for an old fart such
as myself. But then it got ugly.
Stuff started going wrong, the engine
started to loose power, and yup, you
guessed it .. the valvetrain was shot.
After 23,347 miles, the valvetrain
died. I needed to get it replaced. I
sold the car. I didnt like it. End of
story.
