Worst vehicle I have ever had

If you are older, the seats are very uncomfortable and it may cause you to twist your lower back getting in and out. The touch screen puts up a big distracting message telling you to not be distracted...stupidest thing ever, and it won't go away until you click on it. How is THAT not distracting. The car randomly beeps or alarms for no reason, tells you gas is low when it is nearly full, sometimes beeps to tell you the remote is inside - when you are still inside the car too and have not gotten out immediately, or it beeps when you get in with no message. It also will say no remote detected when you get in, after you just used the remote to unlock the car. Today a panel on the ceiling just above the back window fell halfway off and now I have to call them and waste more of my time. The dealer has no explanation for any of these things, and seems not to care. This is a lease and I am stuck another year with it and have regretted having it every time I get in it to drive.

Always shop around before getting into a Buick, is a great car but many Buick dealerships charged a lot for them. We went to Delray Buick, they treated us like kings and gave us what we wanted.

When I stopped to really look/drive the vehicle..the $20K+ was only paying from the front seats forward...absolutely no room in rear seat area and not much cargo room.. I am glad it did not work out for me to buy it...I would have been sorry after a few weeks.
No wonder the American car industry is in decline

Drove this car for four days as a rental car. It's an odd car to drive. The proportions feel off, with the car being quite tall but very narrow which creates a tree house effect which isn't reassuring on the road. The engine is underpowered, fuel economy isn't anything to brag about and overall the car feels "cheap" as there is lots of hard plastic all over, the switch gear feels like it's going to fall apart any minute, closing the doors create as very hollow "bang". Some of the interior engineering is odd, too. For example, the adjustment for the seat recline is place right where the seat belt is, making it hard to find and difficult to get to. On the up side, ApplePlay is well integrated and easy to use. Overall, the car drives, but why would anyone buy this car when you can get a bigger and much better RAV4 for just a $2-3k more?
