Not your grandmother's Buick

Recently bought a used 2017 Cascada with only 2000 miles on it. Have been very pleasantly surprised by the drivability of this car. Handling is tight and drives similar to a sports car, though Buick tuned the suspension to be slightly softer and more forgiving than your typical sports car. Seats are a bit firm for my taste, but I drove it for 2.5 hours and they actually got more comfortable, not less comfortable, as the drive progressed. As has been noted elsewhere, the engine is a bit slow from a dead stop, but is very quick once you get above 40 mph. Here are my pro's: 1. High quality at a very reasonable price. 2. Extremely quiet for a convertible. 3. Excellent handling 4. Big trunk for a convertible. 5. Decent back seat for a convertible. 6. Fully automated top goes up / down quietly and smoothly 7. Very good gas mileage - I'm getting 27.2 mpg using regular gas in mixed driving. 8. Its a Buick so you know it's reliable. Here are my cons: 1. Rear visibility is poor with the top up. Back window is much too small. 2. A bit sluggish from a dead stop. 3. Controls are very confusing and a bit dated. 4. No Blind Spot Detection System, which is a huge miss considering how poor the rear visibility is (see con #1 above). Dollar for dollar, this is as good as it gets in the world of convertibles!

Rides better than 2020 Rav 4 its sharp design and colors outmatch most all new cars. The pros pick on everything after the fact. Look this car moves and is quiet and will hold its value. Its not a cheap Toyota or Honda or Ford. This car has class and great style. Also has most of the new tech stuff for 2018 that some of the other cars had back then.No disappointment pure style and comes loaded and discounted.I am not a pro but I do know a car when I see one and drive it.Fantastic and better than the high priced BMW, AUDI and Mercedes without the ridiculous high price and repair costs and also those cars have a lesser warranty than Buick Enjoy it flashes.

The cost is so good compared to MB and BMW that this car looks like a super hero.

Remember that this is basically a two seater car! Not fun for anyone stuck in the backseat for a long drive.

In the US we are limited to the number of convertible offerings. I never would have considered the Cascada if not for the NY Auto show. In person, it’s a good looking car and big, well for a convertible. You can seat 4 adults in relative comfort or in my case, a child seat in the back. The only other convertible offering the same interior size is the Mercedes E-class, I save about $35k. No really, I bought the Cascada with incentives for $25k new. While there are a plethora of buttons reminiscent of an early 2000s Benz, you sort of get used to it. It has some premium features too, the seat belts extend to you when you close the door, the top goes up and down in record time and the trunk is huge! 13 cubic feet top up and 10 top down! Some compacts don’t offer that much trunk space. I love the car except for the speed, it’s slow, our CRV is probably quicker. Yet, too down cruising isn’t about speed, rather, it’s all about the journey...
