1999 Buick Park Avenue Good things come in big packages. By Professional Test Driver, New Car Test Drive .com

The Buick Park Avenue has all the attributes traditionalists have treasured over the years: subdued luxury, living room comfort, high quality, excellent road manners, and all-weather reliability.

For folks moving up from mid-size to full--especially those who don't feel a need to fortify their status with something from BMW, Lexus or Mercedes--a Park Avenue is a great choice. It's a pleasant step up into quiet, roomy luxury, bolstered by high quality and a much more authoritative set of dynamic capabilities.
