Just What We Wanted

2016 Buick Cascada Premium 2dr Convertible (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

We wanted a convertible, I wanted something fun to drive with style. I owned a Lotus Elise, but that was too small as we aged, so we were looking for something a little bit more. We looked at the Audi A3, but if it had the features of this (German company Opel) car, it cost $12K more. I didn't buy it to turn heads, but to be honest, it gets a significant amount of attention. Maybe not like the Lotus did, but it's a very good looking car. It's not fast, but it handles well, I love the front end suspension that handles the vagaries of the road and stops the odd bump from pulling the steering. Very nice feature. Overall this is a great touring car with an amazingly quiet interior even with the top and windows down. It's also got super spousal support, a moderate price, and solid overall performance. Take a look, I promise you won't be disappointed...IF you are willing to keep an open mind and realize a Buick can be pretty cool.

It is a very solid car. It handles very well and holds the road/corners really well. It is not a high performance car, so if you want one get a mustang or camaro. The 4 cylinder turbo moves you down the road really well but your not going to use the car at a drag strip. All the controls are there in front of you and I like that it has a key to start. I'm not a fan of start buttons, kind of brings back the 50's with the starter on the gas pedal. Everywhere i go people are very positive about the cars looks and should bring in lots of traffic to the dealership. It's fun to drive and that's what it should be about. It's a great go for a drive car with the top down and on those really hot days the a/c works really well and keeps you comfortable. I now have 33,000 trouble free miles and is still a dream to drive. Once it hits 65 degrees it's top down and out for a ride

Bought my 2016 Cascada convertible Sept. 2016., took it down to Fla. for the winter.I had people pulling up to me at stop lights asking what kind of car it was, they all thought it looked Great.Drove it down to Key West, what a Great drive with a convertible.It was kind of funny, we started counting Mustang convertibles on the way down, it was like every 5 or 6 cars was a mustang convertible, I think we saw 1 Cascada. The one thing I think the engineers missed, if you are driving alone with the top down, the passenger seatbelt starts banging on plastic trim once you hit around 25 miles an hour.I've looked at other convertibles and they have the belt clip up tite to the top so it is not loose to bang around.also could make Nav. System more user friendly.All in all ,Great car.

Buick was never able to fix the computer/electrical problems on my 2017 Buick Cascada, so they gave me a new 2018 Buick Cascada at no cost to replace it. I am very very happy and pleased with the new vehicle and have experienced none of the problems encountered with the 2017 model. I do wish that the car had automatic braking and blind spot detection. Other than that, I and all my lovely grandchildren absolutely love the car. This Buick continues to be a great car. I live in Southern California which commonly has wonderful top down weather and many beautiful drives to take with the top down. I also have lots of grandkids, all of whom absolutely love driving (or being driven in) the Cascada. No mechanical problems at all. Love it. Exclamation point. Was saddened to see Buick drop the Cascada, was going to buy another one within the year.

It makes me smile

I understood the Cascada was an Opel, introduced about 3yr ago. As such, I realized that the electronics and safety features would not match my wife's 2016 Subaru Outback with the eyesight pkg., an outstanding and versatile wagon. What the Cascada does is it makes me smile. Style, great. Handling, the HiPer Strut up front and Watt Z link rear suspension makes a taunt but comfortable ride. The top goes up and down quickly and at a reasonable speed. Economy, town about 20 mpg hwy - filled up in Dallas, two stops, cruse control @ 70, and arrived in Conway Ar. with 33mpg. Very happy. Seats, adequate. Nav., again probably 3 yrs old. Nice touches, rain sensing wipers, and heated steering wheel. The car is quiet for a convertable, and the sound system is great. The car is a cruiser, and designed for a sunny day, with the top down, traveling down two lane back top roads in Arkansas, (insert your state). It will make you smile. At the end of a year, I still look forward to driving the Cascada. Absolutely no mechanical problems. Minor annoyances, cup holder area is too small for two full sized cups, and the device too hold either doors open is not strong enough to stop them from trying to attack my shins. Truthfully, this has been a problem with each two door car that I have owned. But...... If you are ever on I 40 in western Ark., and see the exit to the "Pig Trail Scenic Byway", take the top down and enjoy. I did. The eventual prize is Eurika Springs, a great destination. But the most fun is in the journey. 12/23/18. Still like the convertible very much. No mechanical problems what-so-ever. Everett Buick has done everything with a smile on their faces. General Motors, not so much. They sold their interest in the Opel group, and there will not be a new Cascada. It has become an orphan auto. Will parts be available ? Who knows. An Audi wasn’t that much more. But I still like the Cascada a great deal. 2/10/20. Still runs and looks good. Absolutely no mechanical issues with the car. Top still goes up and down with no problems, and no leaks. I usually park in the back 40 of the parking lot, but door dings are nasty. Our Subaru is the same age, with 5 times as many miles, parked anywhere, and no almost ding free. The Cascada’s paint may be a bit fragile. Planning to keep it for the long run. 8/17/20 17500 miles. Not many miles, but I still enjoy the car. No problems. Especially during the pandemic. I don’t need other people to take a spirited drive through the Ouachita mountains. Not quite like Colorado, but better suited for the car. I believe a lot of the two lane roads were laid out by a drunk goat. Great fun. 2/17/21 Conway Ar. 8” of snow on the ground. 14 degrees. Probably be a week or so before I get to take the top down again. Not much driving of any kind, but the Cascada is still running great. Right at 20,000 miles, never been in the shop except for normal maintenance - oil (filter is a booger to change) and cabin air filter - I enjoy doing what maintenance I can. Looking forward to Spring and dropping the top.
