This is really a car for me. I've always had a family oriented car-sedan, coupe, wagon, when I carted my children and grandchildren around. Personally, I love it, not a lot of space for a crowd, which I like!!! I think it handles great, and I wanted something sporty, easy on the eye and just plain fun in my "older age".

Car is a 2+2, no rear knee room. Acceleration from dead stop ok, but is quite good from 25mph and up, great on freeways and interstates. Steering quick, tight turn radius. Ride is firm but not harsh, cornering stability good. Noise level surprisingly good. Rear visibility with top up is marginal with passenger headrests up, but is adequate otherwise. Fold down rear seats great. Gas mpg on new engine 27.5at prolonged 75-85 mph, 22mpg suburban travel. However, interior controls need redesign. NAV system complex, redundant, voice recognition a joke, back up/NAV screen too small, very difficult to identify features function button while underway. Took it in for first for visit at 3000 miles...unable to get tires to balance, to be replaced, top has two small tears, to be replaced, after 32 days of ownership. Promptly after delivery took 2k mile trip, seating quite comfortable, we each have lumbar problems. So far am satisfied with vehicle. Update at 4k mi, 8 mo ownership. Great dealer service, got new tires and top very promptly. Mph still very good in all city driving. Still very satisfied with purchase, prior comments still releva nt. Update 9000 miles, 5k on hiway, 29mph, 24 city. Visability top up margi al. Clearly a 2+2 interior. Top down wind management great for front seat great, horrible for rear passengers. All other prior comments still relevant.

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.

*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!
