#1
Rear ended
Source: Edmunds

...We loved our Park Avenue. Super comfy seats with loads of room for tall people.
We drove it for a year until some joker re-ended us and put an end to a lovely relationship!
The 3.8L engine was a powerhouse but still got us 28 mpg on the highway. Very reliable car, rock solid and smooth on the road...

#2
Exceptional Comfort & Value
Source: Cars.com

..."Purchased a 1999 Park Avenue used with only 44,000 miles, one owner, very well maintained.
The car looks almost new. I looked at Lincoln Town Cars but the Park Avenue handles better, gets better gas mileage and certainly looks a bit more modern.
Really exceptional value in these cars made from 97-05. You get a very comfortable and reliable car that is low-cost to insure and maintain to factory specs...

problems

..."Onstar promises-short on delivery.When onstar went digital and my car syatem did not function, the dealer could or would not upgrade it...

#4
A lemon
Source: Edmunds

...Our car shakes at speeds over 65 mph. The dealer has changed tires, balanced them and has us running the tires at 29 lbs until the suspension supposedly loosens up.
The last time we drove it, the lights in the radio were flickering like a candle was burning behind it(husband's description).
If we could get everything to work, we would love it but as it is; we feel we are being asked to put up with a lemon!!!!...

I love my Park Avenue

..."Its been a great car. All i have had to do is normal matainance.
The brakes,shocks,muffler. The 3.8 litre without the supercharger is very efficient for a large car. Its a terrific highway car. Very supple seats,floats along the road."...

..."have 200,000 on supercharged ultra and it's never really liked rain or snow.
supercharger went out at 190,000 put on a rebuilt and has been running great since. good on gas plenty roomy and great pick up"...

Our third Ultra - would buy another
Source: Cars.com

..."We have owned a 1994, 2000 and the Special Edition 2005 - all Ultras.
Why oh why did GM get rid of the Supercharged 3.8 V-6
!! Best engine ever - a quiet sleeping tiger under your right foot.
Even using premium gas, we average 29+ on the road.
3000 mile trip to Maine last year - got 30+ consistently.
The Buick ride, handling and looks. We are in the market to replace and cannot find anything close for under 40 grand - and slim pickens even then...

Old School Player, New School Fool

...This my 3rd lifetime car, first Buick. It was love at first sight! I love this car. I've recently stepped up to the 20 inch wheel but other then that no other mods are needed...

#10
Love my Buick
Source: Cars.com

..."5th Buick and 2nd Park Ave. I've owned. Love it for its interior size and quiet.
Loved my 94 PA ride the best. This one has a little too much bounce in the rear over bumps.
Otherwise its perfect for our comfort on long trips. I get 26 city/32 h'way. Have had as much as 34/5 on highway. Great car."...
