- In this video I give a full in depth review of my 1995 Buick Roadmaster Limited. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Hi Guy's, I'm the guy that purchased the Roadmaster from Kyle. The odometer now show's 82,500 mi I have done a lot to the car---No worries it's still stock the way the video show's it. When I purchased the car from Kyle's Family Used car lot I drove it home( I lived in Pinehurst NC at that time) I had to replace the whole suspension front and rear bushings and upper lower A arms(since the ball joints where bad and steering links worn) so I replaced it steering box to power steering box. this was a problem with the B and D bodies. What a difference in ride and steering it made I took it on my yearly trip to seattle wa and it was just awesome. got 28 mpg at 70 mph any faster it would drop quick.I had a tune up Done at my local dealership(wires plugs water pump and opitspark) Long story short ran great for a year but 2 of the plug wire's shorted out and fried the whole ignition...Nomore Dealership service
I found a great Mechanic and it's in the shop getting it all done plus I purchased Taylor breaded wires( nomore burnt wire on the exhaust manifold) also New fuel pump assembly with sending unit and fuel regulator) all the cooling hose's and a All Aluminum Radiator since my mechanic found the plastic tank's leaking....We are no waiting on a New updated wire harness that GM had a recall and it will be ready to Road trip to Seattle Wa. This is a great car to travel in the only thing left to do is getting the Driver seat Repaired and it will be Done and Awesome.
I will update with New pic on Kyle's CZcams channel.
Cheer's Robin...
you still have saabkyle04 Buick Roadmaster limited
I thought the 95s already had the upgraded brass terminal. As I understand it, it was the 94s that had the zinc post that tended to cause a fire. I have two 94s and replaced the zinc post with the brass one. (after one of them did a total melt-down, hence my learning of the recall). Yep, any car this old would at LEAST need new control arm bushings. The suspensions tend to be the most ignored aspect on cars. I think I must have rebuilt 2-3 dozen suspensions in my life. The results are very rewarding. Heck, most people don't even ever replace their shocks and/or struts!
Kyle you bastard, pin this comment!
Do you still own it or when did you sell it?
Wow. A lot of problems. I’ll stick with Lexus.
I had a 1992 Buick Park Avenue, here in France.
Common car for you boys, but here...What a dream it was to slowly cruise in the tiny streets of my french town.I miss her.
This one Roadmaster makes my day.Thanks!
Best American cars from the 90s:
1-Cadillac Fleewood brougham(1993-1996)
2-Buick Roadmaster
3-Buick Park Avenue
5-Chevrolet Caprice
6-Lincoln Town Car
Bender Rodriguez Absolutely love the Park Avenues. I currently drive 2012 Nissan Altima, and right now I'm actually looking for a good used Park Avenue (somewhere 97-99 model). My grandmother had one and it was a terrific highway car. Don't get me wrong, I like my Altima, but I think certain Buicks are better as far as driving feel.

1990-95 Mercury Sable
1990-95 Ford Taurus
1990-93 Buick Riviera
1991 Cadillac Brougham
Cutlass Ciera.
+Vaporizin The Nissan Altima is also a very beautifull car,a s well as the 2006-2011 Toyota Camry and the current model of the Subau Legacy.
my dad has a buick park avenue says its the best car hes ever driven
crown vic
Now that's a REAL car!
Makes me glad I own one.
These big body's ride better than most new cars
James grant I can vouch for that
Can't beat big car comfort...
of course
Manufactures now find ways to cheap out on stuff but still charge a arm and a leg
@@RandyFricke True that Randy. I miss that comfort especially in the Buick line.
"a full in depth review"? Heck, this is the most comprehensive and descriptive presentation I've ever seen on CZcams! You are a master!
I am shocked how similar the Roadmaster is to the Cadillac. Same power train and similar body shape. The dash is more plain than the Cad, but all the other stuff is very close. The ww tires and wire hubcaps really spruce up the exterior, giving it a more modern look and less dated for its years. I have never looked that close at the Roadmaster very close, but am shocked what a value it really is. This is truly one of your best reviews ever. It is so refreshing to someone as young as you, appreciating comfort and value above high styling and compromising convenience and comfort. Again...your review was amazing. Has to be one of the best yet.
I agree with your last part, I am a young car guy who loves performance and handling etc, but for everyday LA traffic
Commuting I want a couch on wheels, no sense in uncomfortable seats and stuff suspension if you spend the majority of your day in bumper to bumper traffic
The caprice/impala, fleetwood, and roadmaster have the same drivetrain and frame the only real difference is the body.
Great Quality back then..
lmao. no it wasnt.
Yours has the "Prestige" package for the Limited which includes: Twilight Sentinel, Trunk Pulldown, Cornering Lamps, Memory Seat and Heated Seats, etc. This package was not available in the base model, but available only as an option on the Limited. The acceleration is impressive not only because of the car's 4200+ curb weight, but also because it had tall 2:56 gears!
In addition to the 2:56 gear ratio, didn't it come with the 2:93 gear ratio???
@@OmarAz-pu5lc Yes, with the V92 towing package.
wow, that car accelerates scaringly fast!

Thanks for the in depth tour, my dad had a burgundy one, and this brought back so many memories, I felt like I was right there with dad again. That was the best riding and quietest car I've ever been in, and plenty of power too.
WOW ! 6 ish seconds for 0-60 MPH that's impressive for such a big car... Although it probably consumed a gallon of gas to do that... lol ! Nevertheless, they sure don't make cars that ride this good anymore. Pity. They weren't called Buick Roadmasters for nothing. I miss the ride quality of my 1981 Pontiac LeMans, and those full width front seats.
Wys shiid it drinks gas fast but it's fast and alot of fun I parked mine for a while I want to keep the miles low
I'm checkin' one out right now in perfect condition with 70K on it for $1900. I think I can get him to let it go for $1600. It's red. .... NICE!
a 2 grand car with 70k miles?! Damn dude, talk about a great deal.
SledgeHammer go grab it!! They don't make em like that any more
i just picked up a 94 cadillac fleetwood 116,000 mi. 1600$ clean all leather. the deals are out there man just gotta look
SledgeHammer can I get it
$1600? 70k? GRAB IT!!!
I want to get a 94 cadillac fleetwood for my first car or in that era like 90s, they are beautiful amazing cars love it!
Get one with an LT-1 in it. 94-96
This video both informed me of the existence of these particular cars AND made me fall in love with them. I bought a 94 a couple of years ago and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I have a 95 Fleetwood and sadly I must say goodbye to the Roadmaster soon. They are excellent cars with an absolute minimum of problems.
The best part about this video is the great amount of pride you have in every car you own...whether is was the Lexus, the Genisis or this...you take care of your possessions and you don't feel the need to impress ANYONE. Keep it up Kyle...
My dad always made fun of Buicks . I think Buick makes great cars.
Definitely considered old people cars back in the day yet they are true survivors
Super car! How mach does this beauty it is a pity that now don't make such cars it's a classic.Thanks for the video, got a iot of fun !!!
Do you want to know what else is a pity? The fact that GM had to detune the Corvette’s LT1 V8 just so it could be used in the Roadmaster, Fleetwood & Caprice!!
I’m sorry, but what good is it when General Motors takes the engine from one of the greatest American sports cars ever (i.e. the Corvette) and puts it in their Roadmaster, Fleetwood and Caprice cars only for them to then detune it in the end?!?! I just don’t get it!
Excellent review. One of the most comprehensive reviews I've looked at. Well done sir. Makes me want to investigate the Roadmaster for my next car. Like the power and sound of the LT1. Luxury comfort.
Very nice and informative video! I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this. Excellent job bud, keep up the good work!
Congrats on 1 million subscribers!
I love this channel presentations are perfect :D
Holy cow! That audio is so clean even over a video recording! I love it!
I loved seeing how the suspension made the car roll, rock back and forth and dip. Really satisfying.
Had a cream toned one...it was actually slightly yellow so we called it the Banana. It was a fantastic vehicle. I spent a lot of time on the road being a stockbroker at several bank branches in different towns and driving this vehicle was a joy. It handles like a dream. Had a Lincoln Town Car that couldn't touch the ride or the driving dynamics. It glides for miles. Love, love Loved the comfort of the ride and it didn't get bad fuel economy either. You're one lucky ducky to find that car. It's fantastic.
I want one man, I live in LA, with all the traffic and shitty roads and Indian summers, I wouldn't mind sitting in a big comfy roadmaster absorbing speed bumps and potholes with a GM air conditioning keeping me comfortable when it's 90 degrees outside.
Gotta love that LT1 engine!
Saabkyle your so close to 100000 subs! I'm cheering for you you deserve it dude:)
I love the enthusiasm in your voice it shows how much you love it.
A very beautiful car.
I absolutely love the sound of that engine! My 01 Sierra slt has the lt1 and I love it.
That car is one of the cleanest roadmasters I've ever seen
This guy is a good review for this great car. I think when I have bad acid trips I will watch out be relaxed. It's obscenely relaxing.
@riikerman You sounds like a mad Euro, or worse, Californian.
this car is straight up gangsta
ever seen a lowrider version of this?
+GrAnDtHeFtAuToBoY yes sir
+GrAnDtHeFtAuToBoY yes sir
What a beauty!!
Wow, Definitely a senior citizen special! Thanks for showing this Kyle!
WOW!!!! That buick is like new! Great find and buy. Congrats. BTW.. love your car reviews.
saabkykle04 that was a great informative review I recently bought my first car which is a 2000 Buick LeSabre custom with just over 53,000 miles then Buick the run forever they're good cars thanks again for the great reviews I really enjoy watching them
beautiful car.
How interesting! I was really impressed with the way the Buick drove. I envisioned myself behind the wheel. A smooth rider, I imagine. And it's so clean inside and out. Gotta have one for myself.
I love these big old cars, and it's awesome that you're reviewing a nice "Wide Ride"!
The Cadillac Fleetwood is the D-Body car which is a stretched B-Body frame. The wheelbase of the Cadillac Fleetwood was 121" over the 116" of this car and the Caprice/Impala.
I'm 21 and I have a desire to get one of these..currently have an 03 maxima. I found one with 154k miles for $1750 . Should I get one of these?
08crash6 Gas is nothing... the ride pays for itself, I guarantee the passenger go to sleep. night night
I love this car. I was driving through rural France last year when I saw one parked in a petrol station. You don't see many American cars in France, and this beautiful Buick stood out. Thank you for the great review kyle.
Love the way you always say "and lets check out the exterior, shall we?"
excelent videos dude!
one of my favorite cars to come out of the nineties. would get the 94 (cause that is my year) reminds me of my grandfather cause he loved his Buick, and that smell of cigars.
my favorite car buick roadmaster
Rolf
My grandparents had either a 1992 or 1993. It was a silver Limited, and of course had that bellowing horn. They baught a 2000 Park Avenue, and my grandpa passed away a year later, leaving it to my grandma. When she stopped driving, my cousin got it and currently it has about 35,000 miles. Buicks are true legends!
Love the Limited courtesy lights, beautiful car, and a great video as always keep up the great work! :D
Jeremy Clarkson "It's rubbish" but what does that angry welsh man know Murica nice ride dude I had a 91 Ford Crown Vic LX loved the Hell out of that car 5.0 litre previous owner put a shift kit in it along with the trailer hitch that thing ran strong you could burn the tires off of it and rode like a dream new sub
Those Roadmasters are scary looking, but cool
This is my dream vehicle!! Terrific job bro.
Love when you review the radio. Best part
Thumbs up if you'd like to get some action in this big boy!
how do ya keep buick roadmaster so clean
Clean the undercarriage and engine compartment regularly. Don't let pets in your car. Don't eat in your car. Don't drive in snow or salted roads. Get a junker to drive daily. Take care of the cars you love and want to keep for decades.
oh my goodness I that rear end to that car is so smooth love it
Nice video. There’s something about these cars that just relax me. If I only had more space in my driveway.
he sold his 2010 Genesis Coupe to get THIS Magnificent Beauty!

Thanks sir!
@@mrgutchman wasn't there a copyright issue right there,?
I used to drive a car like this in high school. I loved it so much, had so much character.
used to? USED TO??! if we had these here in my country I would never sell that until I'm dead lol
This video was fantastic! I just got a 94 Roadmaster and this video taught me a lot of little things about my car. I always wondered about the options on the suspension of this car. I noticed riding down the road it was not as bouncy as my old 94 Lincoln Continental, which I rather liked. Now after seeing the body roll that your car has with that Dyna, it's Worlds Away different then the Grand Touring suspension that I have. My car doesn't have near the body roll that yours has so I'm guessing that's what it is. very informative, thanks and God bless.
I'd drive one of these if I didn't feel like every at school would laugh at me, I'd honestly get this over a muscle car because there so much more sffordable given that I don't make much and would have to worry about getting parts, also looks so different from cars now and looks really comfy, can you tie with the roadmaster
Get some fat tires with lettering. Stagger the tires and straight pipe it. Get rid of the hubcaps. And its a muscle car. I can show you mine .
S T A T I O N W A G O N dude it gets a LT1 V8, they can laugh all they want
Fried 153 lemme see
Nobody laughs at mine, they think it's badass
But it has the LT1 V8. They can't laugh at you with their 4-cylinder Honda civic.
great car,do you still own it?
I thought he had a Lexus ES350, that was a nice upgrade.
He has a '12 Dodge Charger and a '03 Chevy Avalanche
@@LegalZephyr He later traded the Charger for a Viper
I can’t believe you found one of these in such beautiful condition. Nice.
I am impressed about the accelaration, didn't expect this!

There's no way...that car is original
+will cooper Im sure its very much original all around....its not uncommon to see a lot of these big luxury cars still like new.
1995? Why wouldn't it be original?
What I can’t understand is why so many thumbs down for his videos. Maybe they envy him. Well that’s their problem Kyle, you keep on doing what you do sir!
Gotta love this guy... He tests everything from brand new Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Aston Martin's to throwback Cadillac Fleetwood's, Buick Roadmaster's even Mack Trucks. Keep is up!
Man I'm just floored by how amazing the condition of your car is, but then that should surprise me because anyone with such a great interest in cars would certainly keep their own in tip-top shape. Nice!
How can you not love the RoadMaster.Great looking big car. This RoadMaster looks like it been siting in a showroom since 1995
Thiis is my favourite of all your reviews! Love how you go into all the details about it. I know this car is special to you, but if possible do all your reviews like you did this one. You made me want a Roadmaster! And here in Europe they are very rare, only seen a couple of wagons.
A very humbling experience. Nice work.
YES YES YES. I've been waiting to see this review for ever
What really stood out for me in this video was that you included some of the flaws of the car, i know it was your own car and you may not be able to do that with other cars as the manufacturers may get angry or whatever. But if your are able I think it would be a great addition to the videos, giving potential buyers both sides of the story etc. Even so great video as per usual, thank you for making them.
I liked the video on the Roadmaster so much, I bought a 1995 Roadmaster Limited today!! Thanks!
Chris Higham how is it?
Beautiful automobile. Bought mine brand new in '95.Only difference was mine had everything you have and Trailer Town Pack, and Astroroof. That LT-1 and the Tow Pack rear ratio, X-tra cooling made it more than a perfect car. I miss it STILL TIL THIS DAY. ENJOY MY FRIEND.
Thanks Kyle for that awesome look at your Buick Roadmaster. I have a 1995 Park Avenue myself. These Buicks may have their quirks, but they are very comfortable daily drivers and highway cruisers. Keep up the great work.
My uncle and aunt once owned a roadmaster station wagon. Sitting in the rear facing seats was something else
Wow, this is AMAZING Kyle!!!
Nice vid Kyle!!!
Absolutely beautiful car. Perfect condition and cleaner than any I have ever seen. I couldn't think of an owner that could appreciate/care for it better than you. I'm not sure which is luckier, the car or you. Great review Kyle. Enjoy that car!!
Ryan
Had to watch this video twice... what a car! I would have done the same thing as you selling the Hyundai for this. This is such a more personal car that you can keep in a tip top shape and have it with you forever. Keep up the good work, your best video yet.
Love to see cars like these in good condition, too many people don't take proper care of still nice cars. Good vid and nice ride!
Wow that is one mint Roadmaster. What a beautiful car as it's probably the nicest one I've ever seen! I'm very interested in getting one of these in the future when I have the money. I love all of the chrome, the interior and the white wall tires just top it all off. Great review and enjoy that car!! It will be very reliable for years to come.
I've had two of these roadmasters before a white one and silver very well made cars love them very much
Wow, that was a really good video! At first I was thinking, 27 Minutes! Then I watched the whole video. Good job.
Awesome video, man. Love the car!
Wow very clean, I wish I could get the chrome on my car to look that clean. It really is nice, I'm glad you finally uploaded the video. I think this is an amazing car, much wiser decision on this over the Genesis. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
Love you Kyle!!!! Awesome review!!
Good Old Saabkyle04 with his Roadmaster. I hope you have a great day buddy
this is a truly luxurious vehicle. After watching this video, I whole heartily respect your decision on selling your genesis coupe :)
I respect you highly because you have such a good taste for classics!
It is such a neat car I had to revisit. Great car Kyle,keep it for a long time.
Nice man! My friend had a 94' Caprice, first on the LT1's. Incredibly fast car for its size. Nice cars!
That's a lot of technology for a 1995 car!!
Great car Kyle!!!
been waiting for this
I enjoy periodically reading your reviews Kyle. Loved this one on your 1995 Buick Roadmaster. I used to love the look of these cars back in the 90's. I considered buying one in 1995 and 1996. Ended up buying a 1996 Pontiac Firebird convertible instead (big mistake). I love these big road cars. I drive a 2010 Lincoln Town Car these days.
Now thats a nice car, Nice job Kyle.
absolutely beautiful I would love to own one of these!!
I have a 2003 Buick Lesbre Custom Edition and I love my car.
