Miles Overview
The Riviera was Buick's personal luxury coupe, the kind of car you bought to glide down the boulevard in style. It rides like a big, soft sofa, soaking up bumps that would rattle a sportier car. Inside, the cabin is a time capsule of 1980s opulence, with plush velour seats and a dashboard full of digital readouts. The coupe body means the back seat is more for occasional passengers than daily hauling, but the trunk is surprisingly roomy. This Riviera comes with the 5.0L V8, which gives it a bit more punch than the base V6 while keeping the same plush ride. The 5.0L V8 pairs with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, delivering smooth, effortless acceleration and 17 mpg combined. The digital dashboard and touchscreen climate controls were cutting-edge for 1985, and they still give the cabin a futuristic feel.
