I am reviewing a 1992 Buick Skylark that was purchased in cash new by my grandfather who later on when I turned 16 gave it to me as my first car. I am 21 now, and am still using he vehicle. For being as old as it is now, it has provided with a lot of good memories. It has taken me all around where I live, and up and down the west coast of the country a total of two times round trip. It has always been a comfortable car, with a relaxed feel to it, and an easy going ride. Unfortunately, it has also had its downsides. Over the past couple years I have had car problems that have ranged from overheating to completely shutting down on me when I have come to a stop. It is a pity, because I have really enjoyed the vehicle, but I can't blame it as any vehicle that old you would expect these problems to occur.

My car is a 4 door sedan, larger. Its green, and it was owned by an older woman who didn't drive it very often, so when I got it had low mileage, and was in good shape aside from a few scratches and dings from her hitting walls when backing up into her garage. It was cheap and it gets me where I need to go so I can't complain too much. It looks ok on the outside and I'm not ashamed of it.

I bought this car while in college, and used it fairly frequently. It suited my needs of city and suburb driving very well. It was very easy to maintain, and the handling was very good. It was a heavy and little bit boxy, but for the price and low maintenance, I would easily recommend it to someone who needs a car for everyday usage. However, if you need a car for mountain driving, or driving long distances, this was not the ideal car. I bought mine used with ~80,000 miles on it, and was able to drive it many, many more miles with no difficulty - despite its old age. It was not sporty by any means, but the red interior was somewhat luxurious. Being a white car, the paint's aging stood out a bit more, and the A/C unit was so old that it couldn't be repaired (and replacing it was too high of a cost for me to consider), but the windows worked just fine for those hot days.
