Much Nicer Than They Say - And 3 Years Later....

I bought one of these 3 years ago, and regardless of the negatives that people point out, I absolutely love it. My wife loves it, and my daughter loves it. Much more room and comfort than in the BMW 4 Series we drove. So much is standard on this car. It is roomy, comfortable, and does everything I want it to do. The rear seats are actually usable for average-size people. I can fit a set of golf clubs into the trunk if I take the woods out of the bag and put the woods in the back seat. You can't put the clubs in or out with the top down, though. I put the clubs in, then lower the shield and the top. When I get to the course, I raise the top and the shield, then remove the clubs. I love that the rear seat backs fold forward to increase the trunk space. As for being a dog, it really isn't. I used to own a Pontiac Firebird 400 4-speed back in the day, so I'm no stranger to a performance car. 0 to 60 in 8.3 seconds? So what? I never do that, and I doubt that you do either. I go from maybe 20/25 to 70/75 up an acceleration lane to merge on a highway, and it handles that just fine, thank you. Passing on the highway? Again, no problem. The turbo handles that with barely a touch of the gas peddle. Actually, if anything, the turbo is a little too responsive. The other knock is all the buttons on the dash. These buttons are redundant functions found in the on-screen menus. Well guess what? When I want to do something while driving at 70 mph, I much prefer pressing a visible labelled button to drilling down through on-screen menus (even though the Cascada responds to voice commands for calling, changing radio stations, etc. It has a hard time with that due to road noise on the highway with the top down). And secondly, on a bright sunny day with the top down, the sun washes out the screen and it can be impossible to see. So again, give me those redundant buttons. Once you know what they do it's no big mind-boggling confusion factor like everyone seems to think. Someone did mention that with the top down and no one in the passenger seat, the passenger seat belt clip rhythmically hits the door post and it's irritating. Well it does - lol. I took care of that by putting a thin strip of self-stick furniture pad on the door post. No more noise. My only knock is I really, really didn't like red interior lighting on the dash. But I wasn't going to not buy the car for that, and I've gotten used to it after 3 years. As for the ride, it is nowhere near as harsh as I expected with the 20-inch wheels. It's even better after breaking in for 3 years. And finally, since I started looking for a convertible a couple of years ago, I see so many BMWs and Audis. It's nice to stand out from the crowd a bit, and everyone that sees it tells me what a beautiful car it is. Oh, sorry, one more thing: I chose the 2018 instead of the 2019 because they changed the backup camera. They went from a nice big view on the dash screen with guidelines to a tiny video in the left corner of the rear-view mirror, without the guidelines. I hated it, and it was a deal-breaker for me and my wife. So that's my 2 cents. Color me a happy camper.

Cascada - Positively Surprising Buick Convertible

Other than relatively poor road visiblity with the top up, which is just an excuse to put the top down more often, the Cascada was positively surprising. This car seats 4 comfortably, not many do. It’s fun to drive and you don’t have to pay 40, $50000 or more to own it. The insulated top prevents road noise well. The top is also simple and fast to put up or down, even while moving slowly. (Another excuse to put the top down) And based on various rankings, it scores high in most. It has attractive exterior lines with the top up or down and interior styling to complete a positively surprising convertible by Buick

Looked at lots of convertibles and picked this one as it really gives you more bang for the buck. Really eye catching on the road, and very comfortable to drive. Yes, the rear window is small (some equated it to trying to look through a mailbox slot)....but put the top down and enjoy the ride!!! Have enjoyed the car totally and I feel very safe driving it.

I've owned a SAAB convertible, Mini Cooper convertible, Wrangler, and a Ford Mustang convertible. This car blows all of them away. It's a beautiful car. I bought it for the great predicted reliability ratings. The critics are wrong. This is a fantastic automobile. Buy a slightly used one to get maximum value. I paid only $25K for one with 14K miles. It rides and looks beautiful. I've been afraid of GM products, but this car is the BMW without the badge, nor the expensive maintenance, or reliability worries. If you care more about reliability and long term maintenance costs this is the car for you.

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

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.

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!!!!!!!

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.

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".

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.

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!

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Fun to drive, easy controls, plenty of pep, fair gas mileage, white paint, tan interior, black top. My wife just loves it. People always ask her about it. Drive it more than my Viper convertible. One minor issue make sure the drain holes under the top dont get plugged up.

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.

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

We have alot of experience with other convertibles (BMW, Miata, Mini) and this one is by far the most desirable. It just feels better on the highway and city driving too. It feels a little heavier but that’s a positive on a convertible I think. Also we have not had a single mechanical issue and we drive above average mileage on our vehicles. This is my wife’s daily driver and when she is happy, everyone is happy. 3 yrs and counting.

Surprised at all the negatives. This car is great and always admired anywhere you go. Many are not aware that it is a Buick. My wife loves it only downside air has failed @ 32000 miles out of warranty freon replacement alone is $700.00 not including parts. Hope GM help me out with repairs

I bought my Cascada 2019 Convertible one year ago this month my only concern was the rear window when the top is up but it has a back up camera in the mirror and side mirrors but I bought the car to put the top down so no problem the style is a eyecatcher and the performace is smooth and percise steering on curves.Ive had no problem with acceleration on passing with a 1.6 Turbo it has plenty of power.I have Black leather embroidered material which sets it off the lighted turning lights is an extra plus along with all the sensors.I have had people compliment me about it everwhere i go and are surprised to see the Buick Logo on it I strongler urge anyone wanting a classy midpriced convertible to test drive it this car had only 11,000 miles on it when I bought it

I love this car.i bought a 2017 Buick cascada with only 20k miles on which means but was practically brand new.the interior is imaculate and the no touch top down sequence is priceless.the car calls for premium unleaded but if you want maximum gas mileage and performance and your pocket can stand it is fill it up with super unleaded.im a Buick owner of a 1999 Buick century do I have dtiv8 Buick for quite awhile.whrn it comes to this car in my opinion is a great car.i have the sport touring version and it handles great hardly hear any noise with the top up the sound system is great.if you read the manual operating the controls are a snap.tjis car has lots of features when it comes to driver safety the best I have ever seen.it had all the bells and whistles with this model.one guy said that this car has features that not even a Bentley has do that's pretty good in my book.tbe luxury convenience and handling of this car is off the chain.get one and you will see what I mean

I would have purchased this nice looking convertible except for an important missing safety feature. There is no blind spot warning. Also, I’m a little worried about a car assembled in Hungry. It seemed a little tinney. Driving with the top up and no blind spot warning is an accident waiting to happen.

Car is fun to drive at a price point anyone can afford. It’s sporty, luxurious, quick, comfortable, and safe. It has quirky European features that stand out, but nothing tops driving the car! Car turns heads, and you won’t regrets buying one!
