1995 Buick Roadmaster Review

Big car, big value
Interior
Buick redesigned the Roadmaster's dashboard for '94, and it helps bring the interior a little more up-to-date. The dash makes a clean sweep across the car, maintaining the traditional horizontal appearance of its predecessor but adding attractive analog gauges.

There are dual airbags, of course, and child-protection rear door locks.

Our test car had impressively comfortable leather-covered seats. Buick has applied computer-design science to its seating program, and the seats in '95 Limited models do a good job of distributing occupant body weight to eliminate any pressure points.

Control placement is simple, and it was easy for us to acclimate ourselves to the location of the various switches and levers - with one exception. The power-seat controls are split into two groups, one group on the armrest - with the window switches and mirror controls - and the other low on the outside of the seat. We'd prefer to see them rounded up into one area.

The Roadmaster has lots of glass, and driver sightlines are generally good. The large rear-roof pillar does take a small bite out of vision in the rear quarters, but the bigger side mirrors relieve this minor blind spot.

There's lots of room in every dimension, front and rear. Buick rates the Roadmaster as a 6-passenger car, but the front-center seating position includes a hump that covers the rear of the transmission, which means that the center passenger should have short legs. This is something that applies to all 6-passenger sedans, incidentally, rear- and front-drive alike.

The other pleasant plus of driving a Roadmaster is how quiet it is at any speed. The LexusLS 400 is the industry leader in this respect, but the Roadmaster isn't far behind. Next Page
