Great Convertible
I wanted to buy one of these since I first saw one on the road while driving in 2016. I’ve always loved convertibles and planned on buying one when my 06 Solara rag top kicked the bucket. Of course it’s a Toyota so that hasn’t happened yet, still own it. In Jan 2020 I heard they discontinued them and was so upset. I called my local Buick dealer they had something called a brass hat vehicle with 250 miles on the lot, it was white and marked down 6k$ from sticker. Was so disappointed when I got there because it had a burgundy colored roof and I hated it. No other new cascadas around, they were all sold. So I figured it was not meant to be. Fast forward a few months and I came across a beautiful red 2017 with 11k miles and it was pristine, like seriously good as new, especially inside it was flawless. A Few rock chips on the paint but very minor. So I bought it and have been happy since. It really is a beautiful car. When I first researched the car I found such disparity between the professional reviews and those of actual owners. Most owners loved it and most pros passed on it. As an owner I’m definitely in the love category. Most everything they said about poor acceleration or handling, dated interior, buttons etc, are so overstated. Is it cutting edge? No but who cares it’s a fun car. Dropping the top is what it’s all about and this car does it well. If you’re a serious convertible fan you already know the drawbacks posed by owning them, namely poor visibility with top up. Seriously get a blind spot mirror they work wonders and I trust them more than some sensor. Being the fourth convertible I’ve owned I have to say it has the least, as in barely any cowl shake. (A feeling like the body of the car is twisting over rough surfaces). They did a great job stiffening up the body of this car. So of course it’s ride is a bit rougher but it’s all about trade offs I guess. If you’re looking to buy one of these cars used don’t hesitate, it’s a great car for what it is...fun.

Better than my bmw conv
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.

A lot of car for the money
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.

I have purchased a Buick Cascada 2018. Its very comfortable. Smooth performance, plenty of pick up, Very nice colors.Quality workmanship and safe. Sits up good not like the other convertibles that sit on the ground like a corvette, Out prices the Mercedes,Audi, BMW.Better view and good quality.All those other imports dont match up to the Buick Cascada in the real world

Love. This. Car.
My wife and I have been looking for a midsize midrange convertible for years and after seeing a Cascada in a parking lot knew this was the car we wanted. It has all the bells and whistles you’d find in a BMW, Mercedes or Audi at a fraction of the cost to purchase and maintain. Although they’ve been discontinued as of 2019 now is the perfect time to find a newer used car with low miles for half the sticker price. The only drawbacks are the MPG isn’t optimal and you can’t link your iPhone to the display screen, but the pros (beautiful car, tons of standard features, handles great, decent back seat / trunk space) far outweigh those two potential cons.
