I was looking for an affordable, comfortable convertible and definitely found it when I purchased this car in October of 2018. The salesman and dealership were very helpful including during the purchase and the ongoing service. I continue to receive compliments from unsolicited bystanders of how pretty the car is and I have really enjoyed the comfort, reliability and feel of this car. I recommend that you drive the car before you discount this car after reading some of the negative reviews. I have never previously owned a Buick but now am a fan of this car and Buick

Its not a hot Rod, its a nice mix of sport- luxury. Feels very stable and firm not pushed around on the road like lighter vehicles. It gets a lot of looks every where we go - the top down in 17 seconds is great, quiet. Fits very nicely in our garage turns on a dime.. Hits 80MPH before you know it.. Nothing bad at all to say about it. Love the color of the car and the large wheels makes it look very sporty and stylish - the technology is plenty fine - its a car not a computer- I feel its quiet with roof up or down. Would recommend for anyone that enjoys a convertible and the free feeling driving experience at a GREAT price!! Couldn't believe I got the 2017 LOADED for $10K less than a 2013 AUDI..

Cascada: well thought out design and a real Looker

2019 Buick Cascada Sport Touring 2dr Convertible (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

We have owned our 2019 Sport Touring model since October 2019 and so far it's been perfect. Even though it was originally introduced in 2013 in Europe, the styling is unique enough that it still turns heads. Some "professional" reviewers have criticized the control stack having too many buttons. Really? I sometimes wonder if many of them just copied someone else's review. It's obvious they didn't spend much time in the car because in short time the controls become intuitive. I find the buttons to be quicker but if you prefer many of the functions can also be accomplished on the touch screen. Another option is to use Cascada's voice activation control for some functions. And their criticism of the weight seems odd because it is similar, or in some cases less, than the the other convertibles in its size class: Audi A5, Mercedes-Benz C Series, and BMW 4 Series. The GM design includes A-pillars featuring press-hardened steel in the inner structures, reinforced with high-strength, hot-rolled and cold-bent tubes within the pillars together with reinforced rocker panels with increased cross section and underbody reinforcements including X-braces, V-braces and additional brackets. This is a stiff chassis and you won't find the least bit of cowl shake evident in some other drop tops. In addition safety was a major driver in the design with a reinforced torsion box bulkhead behind the rear seats that incorporates the Rollover Protection System, which along with the reinforced windscreen frame includes spring-loaded, pyrotechnically activated, pop-up rollover bars. When deployed, the rollover bars will extend approximately 14-inches (356 mm) to match the height of the windshield. The turbocharged DOHC 1.6L engine features direct injection, VVT, dual balance shafts, aluminum bed plate and delivers a sprightly 200 horsepower and in overboost 221 ft-lbs torque. We consistently experience 31-32 mpg on road trips. I've driven on some twisty bits and can attest that the steering is very responsive and handling is as good as you'll find in any front drive competitor. The HiPer strut front suspension and a class unique Z-crank rear suspension evidently up to the task. Seats have outstanding support, just right for a cruiser, and the top is simple to operate and provides good sound and temperature insulation.

GREAT FOR WHAT IT IS

Having traded in a 328i hardtop convertible our expectations were high. This car is everything the BMWis not; roomier, quieter, more comfortable seats and a more relaxing ride. The Buick seems to be an easier car to live with even with some of the shortcomings mentioned. If you do not need a European performance car this is worth looking at.

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!!!!!!!
