I owned 4 Chrysler Sebrings. Last one was a hard top. This one is more elegant and quieter than the hard top.

We are very happy so far with our used 2016 Cascada. It only has 2900 miles on it so we can’t judge long term reliability. It accelerates and handles great. We read some reviews that rated it low on acceleration but I think you need to see for yourself. It looks great inside and out and has pretty good electronics. One minor exception is that it does not have a built in garage door opener.

The Cascada is a well kept secret among convertibles available in the USA. Great handling, hugs corners like a sports car. Interior design and quality of materials are very good. Acceleration isn't quite up to sports car caliber, but is still very quick. On the downside (these are all minor): Interior is a bit tight, and rear visibility is definitely a challenge with the top up. One final nit: the controls are fussy and really more complicated than they need to be. Overall this car is a gem, especially when you consider the price. Similar BMW's and Mercedes will run you $20,000 more. Its got a great look, and is certainly not your grandmother's Buick! I would definitely buy it again.

It’s status with Buick and Buick’s plan to move all their production to suv makes me wonder if they will continue with new models of this car, which is really an import. But my car is the best Looking car in the parking lot.

Great car but with some finish bugs and quirks

I love the car, the looks, the ride and the performance is pretty good and best part is that my 6 foot 2 inch son fits in the back seat and the trunks is usable. Mileage is not great for a 4 cycl turbo (my AWD Tuscon turbo gets better mileage). But a few things that aren't right, the hood paint is alligatored from bird droppings, I see another reviewer had this and thought they were water spots but its paint damage. I have owned dozens of cars and have not had this happen even to my 1972 Buick GS 455 which had lacquer paint, don't they use clear coat? The Black paint also seems to scratch easily and for a one year old car that is garaged most of the time it looks like its a few years old already, paint finish gets an "F". Side of driver seat has a hole in it after one year and is worn from when I get in the car, looks like they didn't put any padding above the air bag which is probably in the side of seat will talk to Buick about these as the dealer wont do anything. The collision sensor goes off too often even for parked cars or when stopped, and the display is cheesey. Others have pointed out the annoying seat belt flapping (I buckle the belt to stop it). The passenger side window doesn't go fully up at times and bounces back down 4 inches, the dealer has "adjusted it" and still does it. I have had 2 Enclaves, 1 Encore and have had a Buick GS455 for 41 years doesn't Buick road test or QA these cars?
