Survived a tornado

Review

Purchased in March of '03 from a private party with 35,000 miles on it. It now has 65,000 on it. With a family of 5, we purchased this to run our errands and into school (live on a acreage) and to keep miles off our SUV. Having put over 30,000 miles on it in a year and a half, I would rate this car as very dependable and economical. Quiet ride with plenty of power for a 6 cyl. and a roomy interior with a good size trunk for groceries, etc. Nothing fancy on the inside. All the safety features and power options that make life simpler. Just recently the mode buttons of the HVAC system have begun to act erratic. This vehicle survived the May tornadoes, when my house did not!

Favorite Features

Ride, Fuel economy for a larger sedan, and interior/trunk space.

Suggested Improvements

A more worthy electrical system. More than four pre-sets on the radio!

Best Car I ever had

Review

Sure, the Lesabre may not be the coolest car or the sportiest, but it has never let me down. The ride is unbelievably comfortable, the seats in these older cars are much more comfortable than Buicks new seats. The 3800 engines are bulletproof, and is probaly the main reason I had went with this car, owning several other GM 3800's.

Favorite Features

The comfort and the dependability

Review

I bought my LeSabre for $1200 with about 139k on it. It had had 4 previous owners, including a rental- car place, but was relatively well taken care of. Although my friend's cars were sportier looking, everyone loved the comfort and space it offered. I put about $300 worth of work into it (fuel pump, ABS) over the next 15,000 miles. At that point the sub-frame broke off of the mainframe and dropped the transmission, steering, exhaust, etc.; but up until then it was fine. If you're driving during the winter on salted roads, I'd recommend getting the undercarriage washed out regularly (I didn't) to prevent this.

Favorite Features

Great room (both in cab and in trunk), smooth ride, cruise, radio, and engine power make for a good highway car.

Suggested Improvements

Gadgets (power window, cruise, speed sensors, gas gage) had problems. Also, the paint on mine and several others chips off easily.

Review

I'm not a teenager...39. I have driven SUVs for 6 years, and liked them, but my dad spotted this Buick, and said that it was a "great deal". I had my reservations. I drove it...felt like I was navigating a fish tank, but I coudn't deny the smooth ride, and the sure handling. I couldn't find anything mechanically wrong with it-at all. I bought the car, partly due to my dads well known ability to find a deal, and partly to trim down my expenses. This car has turned out to be very reliable, and comfortable. My kids even say they like it...imagine! I'm glad now that I have it.

Favorite Features

sleek design, roomy seating, freezing cold a/c, quick pick up, gas milage..19mpg has been my worst so far, and I have a heavy foot.

Suggested Improvements

cup holders, and junk collection cubbies. Now I have to hold my coffee, and keep up with my clutter or it ends up on the seats and floor. Also, my car has the wiring for a trunk release, but no button! Doubt I'll spend the money on one, but have considered it.

I bought this car because I've never had a problem with the 3.8 V6 on other Buicks that I owned. I drive about 3000 to 4000 miles a month with this car and never had a problem!

Favorite Features

Very dependable!!

Suggested Improvements

I wish the car had a more sporty look. But hey, it gets the job done!

Review

The car handles VERY well in the snow and rain. I average 25 to 26 miles to the gallon. The 3.8 V6 is very peppy and has great pick up, with good fuel economy. It's very roomy inside and has a large trunk space. Handles very nice and feels like you floating on air. I highly recommend this car for any one who wants a smooth quiet ride in a car that has power AND good fuel economy.

Favorite Features

I LOVE the ride. This car cruse's so nice, you have to be careful of your speeds. It handles VERY good in the snow, rain, and GREAT in dry weather. It has plenty of room for 5 people.

Suggested Improvements

It would be nice to have 2 fold down arm rest in the front and back. A floor console/organizer would be nice.

Review

I did buy the Buick Used and I will have to say that this was one of the best used cars that I have ever owned. The car itself has been only fun to drive. My wife and I love taking road trips. We put most of the miles the care has on it on the highway and it is the smothest car I have ever driven on the highways

Favorite Features

The Dynaride, it is smooth and it makes feel like you are floating on air.

Suggested Improvements

The only improvement I would have suggested would have been adding heated seats, but hte new ones have that.

This vehicle has been great. I only had one problem with the passenger side motor, for the window. Other than that,a great car, with just enough power.

Review

This vehicle has been almost trouble free. It uses no oil, has a good set of tires on it, and gets between 27 to 30 miles per galon on the road. I have maintained it according to the recommended procedure.

Favorite Features

It has a good sound system in it, has good pick up, and has been a very reliable vehicle

Suggested Improvements

The only trouble I have experienced is that I have had to replace a power antenna and a passenger electric window motor.
