Our new Deep Sky Blue Cascada, purchased in March of 2016, replaces our faithful old Chrysler Sebring JXI. My wife loves convertibles and this car is a nice one. So far she has logged just a few hundred miles but they have been surprisingly enjoyable. The turbo 4 has better then expected performance and the handling is crisp. Not a floaty ride like Buick's of yore. Much has been made of all of the buttons on the dash, but most are only used occassionally and you quickly get used to the layout. The seats are comfortable and the convertible top, and it's mechanism, are awesome. So far we haven't found much not to like about this car. Styling is extremely attractive from every angle and the car gets a lot of compliments. At $37K, the price seems reasonable for what you get. Our old Sebring listed at $27k when new back in 2000, and it is no where near as well equipped. The car has some nice Euorpean touches, like the redundant set of tail lights when the trunk is open and the side signal lights on the front fenders. As for fuel economy, we recently averaged 28.6 mpg on a day trip here the DIC showed an average speed of 46 mph city/highway. We are looking forward to enjoyable summer driving with this car. Update: November, 2016 - Enjoyable summer with the Cascada. Fun car to drive. Current mileage is around 3,000 with no problems encountered. Still getting a lot of positive comments. Update: May, 2017 - Still enjoying this car. No winter problems and no problems with the vehicle. Update: May, 2018 - Two winters, no problems. We still really like this car. Update: November, 2018 - We really enjoyed our third summer with this car. It has been totally reliable with zero problems. My wife still gets a lot of compliments on the car. I recently found a Cascada Owner’s Facebook page and I see many similarly happy owners worldwide. Unfortunately it seems that 2019 may be the last year of production due to GM’s sale of Opel. Update: November, 2019 - Right around 11,000 miles now and we are still enjoying this vehicle. It will be four years old this coming March and still looks and rides as new. One problem this year. The shark fin antenna for XM radio went bad and was replaced under warranty. Sadly production of the Cascada has ended due to the GM sale of Opel and there just are no comparable convertibles left in the marketplace. Update: May, 2020. Cascada is now beyond its initial 4-year warranty but has no issues. Still runs and looks as new after 4 Ohio winters. No new problems encountered. Still a very enjoyable little convertible. Update November 2020 12,000 miles. Didn’t drive as much this summer due to Covid restrictions. Still enjoying this car and it still gets a lot of compliments. Replaced the battery this month at almost 5 years old. $220 installed by dealer. Update 5/19/21 - 12,500 miles. No problems. My wife still loves this car. Update 11/24/24 x - 22,000 miles. Our Cascada is now over 8 1/2 years old. Though the car has low mileage, it is driven frequently and in all seasons, including Ohio winters. I am pleased to report that this car remains trouble free and enjoyable. The car is still on original tires and its second battery. When cleaned up during good weather months it can still pass as almost new looking and, surprisingly, still gets compliments from strangers.

Just What We Wanted

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.

I must say this is the most advance car that I have own, A Lot of bells and whistles for me to learn, but once the top comes off all that goes away!!! A Lot of folks are complaining about the engine and the lack of power, well I say it is a rag top it is about the driving experience not how fast you can go!!!!! If you want speed then you have to pay more and I do mean MORE!!!!! I have a 2016 Model and I am just in heaven this is not my first rag top I have grown up with MG, Triumph, and others. Yes it would be nice to have an engine that would use regular fuel instead of Premium but one makes the choice and goes from there. If you are looking for speed and flash well keep looking and I hope you get 6 correct numbers as you are going to need it. But if you are looking for a great ride to enjoy then give Cascada a try you might just enjoy it!!! 1/20/2019 Update I now have 48000 miles on this car and yes I still love it!!!! All seems to be working well and should continue to as long as one does the proper maintenance. 7/22/2019 Update....Well I am not changing my review at all this is one great car!!!! I am passing 60000 miles and yes you could say that is alot for this age of a car but I reply I did not buy this car to have it sit in a garage!! Yes it is my daily driver and when the weekend comes going out day tripping is a blast. SO with this said Get out and Enjoy!!!! Top up or down.... Most Down here!!!!!!!

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.
