*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!

Lets start with the good. For me price was number 1. I bought 2016 with less than 1000 miles in 2017 for 25k. For a convertible with an interior that is practically sky scraper sized comparatively speaking is impossible in today's market. In comparison in 1995 I bought a new off the floor Trans Am with T tops that cost 25k. And here we are 22 years later, in the era of 50k cars, and they are practically giving this away even at the list of 31k. But a car is only as good at its features, so lets get into that. Best features first. 1. Luxury car. Even without the convertible aspect, this car looks, drives and performs like a luxury car. You are getting the comfort and roominess of a 65k Cadillac, but with a convertible, which is unheard of. Adjust the front seat comfortably, and a huge 300 pound plus person can get in and be wonderfully comfortable and still have room for another 300 pound plus person to sit right behind them in the back seat! For a convertible this is almost an impossible amount of room. As a result of the SUV sized rims and tires, the car sits high, like a cross over, allowing passengers ease of entry without having to stoop down to get in, or strain to get out, and at the same time giving the car a commanding presence on the road, not to be overwhelmed other large vehicles towering over it, which also puts it in the extraordinary class for a convertible. Many people are awed by the exterior appearance because it is extremely unique from all standpoints. It looks like a small 2 door crossover with a drop top. Not something you see every day, in fact I have only seen 2 or 3 driving down the road since I bought the car 3 years ago, prompting people to constantly ask "what is that". At night the car really come alive with sophisticated headlamps that I call smart headlamps because when you put your turn signal on, side lights will come on that will light up your objective, without blinding anyone. Also when you are driving down an alley the lights seem to light up 100 percent more of the alley than any other vehicle I have ever driven. It is futuristic and impressive as well as a safely plus. Moving to the interior, at night it fully lights up in a Tron Type display of red LEDs. Very expensive looking as well as functional. Besides being a summer car, that opens up to allow you to enjoy life, it is also a winter car, with front wheel drive for the snow, heated seats and steering wheel, and auto start, amazing. The feature that allows you to put the top up and down while still driving, along with the rear alert and back up camera is also very showing of a compassionately designed vehicle. People have complained of a overly complicated dash, but once you memorize the controls, which by the way have redundancy with the touch screen, it is much better than a overly simplified dash. The ride and handling are extremely good on smooth pavement. It steers superbly, and would be very difficult to crash, even with a novice driver. I have driven cheap cars and expensive cars, and the control you have over this car is beyond compare, forget what the critics say and enter the era of 2 finger driving. Lovely. Now the bad. Which really isn't so bad, but definitely worth mentioning. Front visibility is deceptive. I guess due to the convertible aspect of the vehicle, the bars that connect the front windshield to the side windshields is thicker than average, thick enough for a person to hide in there at the correct distance. I have almost hit several people because I could not see them for a split second while passing through those unusually thick bars, and you definitely need to retune you mind and driving to be cognizant of that. Pot holes. This car is not a car for pot holes or rough terrain. It is a little too stiff for that, and drives quite badly under rough conditions. No third seat in the rear. Although this care is quite comfortable for 4 people, there is no room to spare, and a 5th passenger is out of the question. Also note, this car can support a tow bar, but requires a special installation for the rear lighting. Ok folks that is it. If you like comfort and convertibles and a car that very rare to see, this may be the best car ever made.

incomprehensible rear end

For some unknown reason, the car has double rear lights. Two sets. Beautiful outside lights. Then open the trunk, and there is a second set of rear lights with blinkers, and all. This takes up a large part of the trunk space (already naturally limited by the fold down top). I could not fit a set of golf clubs nor a suitcase because of these double lights. WHY???? No one knew. Then one salespersons said "well if you are stopped on a dark highway, with trunk open to change a tire, they are a safety" hmmmmm. How many times in my 40 year driving career have I stopped for that? None. Not valid. j I am looking to try and remove the inner rear lights. Just a tremendous waste of trunk space. And cost to build and what a cost to repair!!! Dennis Gates
