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.

Like legroom, inexpensive convertible

I'm 6'2" and have always wanted a convertible that will fit me without breaking the bank. Super sporty looking. Very few on the road. Surprisingly quiet cab. Engine has nice punch, but no one will ever accuse it of being a fine motor machine. The roof converts in about 60 seconds and the mechanics of the process are very smooth. Go ahead and spend $60-$90K for a sportier machine, I'll enjoy my ride for half the cost.

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!

Solid, expensive feel at a sub compact price

The expert reviewers seem to like knocking good cars. For the money, this is a great car, with a quality feel, good looks, and, despite mine having a Vauxhall badge I am proud to drive it around town. On the open road it goes well. Poor on acceleration they say ? where the hell can you drive fast these days anyway. Comfortable cruiser with adequate power for a swift overtake every time. Sometimes think they are short on something to say. Mine is an 14 plate with 45k miles and looks and drives like a new car. All this for £7000 of my hard earned British pounds sterling for a car costing £33000 when new. What's not to like.
