*update...the headlamp issue was resolved, original part was bad. I've had the car for 2 years and am still very happy with it! The passenger side seat belt does bang the inside of the door when the top is down. Easy fix, just fasten it. Instill highly recommend this convertible! *I got on here to see if there were problems posted that I'm having with mine. Everything is great in this car, comfort is top notch in these seats. They hug you and I love the lumbar support. I love that it is front wheel drive. My last car was a mustang convertible and winters in the Midwest can be very icy and snowy. I haven't had a winter yet with this car so hopefully it won't disappoint. The sound system is awesome and I can talk on Bluetooth even with top down. The passenger seat does bang on interior if not buckled when no passenger is in car. Easy enough fix. I do notice a difference with the wind guard in place. No leaks and very quiet ride with top up. My recurrent problem is AFL lamp/ headlamp leveling malfunction. The Buick dealer service dept has been awesome! They have replaced the sensor part but within 2 weeks, the warning showed up again. I took it back, which they always offer a loaner, and of course, the warning didn't show up for them. They calibrated the sensor(which had not been done when part replaced) hoping that was the problem. The warning came on the day I picked it back up(figures). I am now scheduled to take it to a closer dealer as the one I purchased it at was a little far for the frequent trips I was making. Hopefully, they figure it out. However, it is not affecting the performance of my Cascada, I just don't like having any issues on my new car. I'm over 9000 miles and am just in love with it. I get a lot of compliments which coming from an orange mustang gt convertible is surprising. You will not be disappointed!

Update: I’ve now owned the car for two years and still love it every bit as much as the day I picked it up. My lease ends 11 months from now. No issues to speak of at this time. It’s a wonderful, beautiful car. Update: I've now owned the car for just a bit over a year. Still love it. I just recently bought the car in Graystone Metallic with beige/black interior. The car is extremely attractive, and I can't overstate this. Aside from how it looks inside and out, I love the way it drives. The handling is very impressive as it seems to hug the road tightly. The seats are phenomenally comfortable and well bolstered. I find the controls are in easy reach. The car is so quiet I can't hear it running. The acceleration is smooth and energetic. The sound system is great. The built-in wifi is a very nice. I honestly couldn't be happier with the car.

Excellent ride

It is hard not to like this car. Nice design, comfortable rise, and easy to use ragtop. I live in the South and have lots of opportunities for top down driving. Looking in the rearview and passenger blind side is tough but no worse than the Dodge Challenger I traded in. Best features are the front visibility and ease of putting on and taking off the roof. It also has a quieter ride than expected.

Perfect Florida Car

My wife and I had a Pontiac G6 convert and also a VW EOS. This car runs circles around them both, especially the EOS, leaks were constant under heavy rain or car wash. The seats are very comfortable, sound system is great and everything is close to the touch. We recently took a road trip to Naples Fl. from Tampa and got 29.8 MPG. Not bad for a car with only 300 miles on it. We look forward to driving this car every chance we get!

I like the idea of owning a convertible. Being a car guy I get that there is a trade off on that being a convertible it is going to be heavier than most comparable cars. The extra reinforcement underneath and the watts link suspension is superbly done and gives the car a quiet ride that hugs the rode well. The engine choice and transmission is going to make the car very reliable unlike other car with 8 speed transmissions etcetera on new platforms and such. As for the electronics I appreciate the extra buttons, maybe it is the techy in me but it is nice to have a redundant choice if the touch screen fails as I tend to keep cars long term. I actually want it to look like a space aged cock pit. The European influence gives it it's sexy style and when wanting an American brand the idea of blending in with the other convertible choices like the Camaro and Mustang is not that exciting. I rarely ever see another on the road. The German convertibles are great but when they break it takes to long to have parts and good luck finding someone who knows how to fix it. A well thought out car overall.
