The car has been great for me. As someone who primarily drives less than ten miles per day the car has been great for getting around town. I have even taken it on some long-distance road trips. If I had it for a long commute each day, it would be great, as the giant interior and great sound system make driving it a pleasant experience. As I often say, it is like driving my living room. The quality was great for a number of years, but in recent times, the components are starting to fail.

mostly reliable
The car is a bit old fashioned, for example the rims have just small spacing along the outer perimeter common on most Buicks of that year. It kind of feels like a boat, just so big of a car. It is very comfortable with it's leather seats and has lots of room for your legs and plenty of space for both of my 12inch subs. The engine is a bit loud at startup but no driving concerns. The blind spots, can't say there are any out of the ordinary... nothing too bad. I've had to do a lot of work to keep it running. Brand new engine in it. ok gas mileage. It is pretty quick with it's 3800 series 2 V6. It accelerates quick and brakes on a dime. The handling is all I need for country roads with it's Grand Touring suspension in it. I do feel like I'd be pretty safe in it with all of it's Detroit, Michigan steel.

A Dependable Piece of Crap
I should first note that I bought this car used, so by default I inherited a great amount of problems with it. Considering that the car is now 26 years old some mechanical breakdown is to be expected but the interior panels, door handles, and paint job has al gone to shit on their own. While the car has very comfortable, spacious seating, I felt that the fact it was a two door was just an annoyance and make driving with 4-5 people a bigger hassle than had to be. This car in my opinion cheap and dependable for getting to work and back, but there is very little redeeming qualities to it other than that. It handles wells, was a smooth ride in terms of shocks, and I never felt that it was sub-par in terms of performance. That being said it was also a gas guzzler and the internal mechanics (transmission) seem to be constantly screwing up requiring time in the shop. It is easy to sleep inside if going on a long trip, but overall I would not recommend this car to anyone.
