Buick Skylark OWNER RATINGS & REVIEWS
Noelle
Lamont, California
Before, I had a Chevrolet S10 truck and had many problems with it. I traded it in for the Buick Skylark despite knowing the model year was much older than the Chevy. Despite reservations, the car's ride is smoother than any I've felt before.
My Buick Skylark model year 1996 came from a used car lot near where I live. I originally decided to make the change when my Chevrolet S10 proved too difficult to drive in winter conditions. Friends of mine recommended the used car lot where I made the trade; service was reliable and the cars were certified to be in good condition. Initially wary at first about trading for a car so old, my fears were groundless as the car handled very well during winter. Never giving me a problem like so many others in rainy weather.
My family as well expressed disappointment for my choosing a Buick since they were drivers of Chevrolet vehicles of all makes and models. I never much cared for the Chevrolet brand, preferring now the ease and comfort of a Buick sedan. I’d never liked the ride of cars owned by my family and friends, finding them rough on uneven roads and murderous on potholes.
Sometimes, me and my passengers make jokes that my Buick ‘flies’ as the acceleration is perfect and the brakes react swiftly for stoplights. Most cars I’ve seen try to match my speed, but, I just leave them behind in my dust. :)

Stands the test of time
For being well over 20 years old I would have to say this vehicle has held up pretty nicely against brutal northern season changes and road salt. It runs quite nicely even at its high mileage and it is pretty sturdy and reliable. I've only had to replace the exhaust recently and the power steering belt for the first time since it was originally rolled off the factory line.

A Nice Compact Car
I first got this car three years ago after purchasing it from an older woman. She did not drive the car very often, truly a Sunday driver. The vehicle was garage stored and only had 70,000 miles. Needless to say this car was kept in very nice condition. It might be almost 18 years old at this point, but she still runs like Clinton was in office. The car has a V6 engine that can allow you to really put the peddle to metal in this thing. The car handles well and I haven't had very many issues under the hood.
The interior of the car can be described as a little tight. There is space available for everyone to be comfortable, but it is certainly pushing it near the edge. For example, I once had to fit three large College football linemen in the back seat and lets just say it might not have been the comfiest ride that those guys had ever taken. Overall though I find the car has an appropriate amount of space and would make the perfect car if you have children.
Overall I have owned my car for three years and have not had any major problems with it. It has been reliable and able to satisfy any of my wants or needs.
