Had trouble from the beginning with slipping on traction control, alternator, and engine brackets. Put too much money into it right at the beginning. With only 2200 of these made, this was an experiment that failed. Never buy a Buick again...

Bought this 2008 in 2018. Only 55000 miles. This year problems, problems, problems!!! Dash board panel light quit working. Just this week, after oil change, tire pressure sensor out. 33 psi put in all tires dash panel says 217 psi in front tires. Yesterday panel on dash on speedometer said car was going 90-100 mph. School buses were passing me. Now can't get car out of gear. I am newly widowed. I live in small town. If I did not still owe money on loan I would do something drastic to this car. Rating I would give this car would be DO NOT BUY THIS MAKE AND MODEL BRICK.
I'm buying GM cars again!

I am willing to bet that at 31, I am the youngest person to write a review on this car! LoL! My last vehicle was a Volvo S70, so don't think I am someone who blindly loves GM. When I heard Buick was #1 in reliability from JD Powers, I decided to check them out. It had everytihng I wanted; pleanty of options, under 25k, excellent record of reliability, V6 power, comfortable ride, etc. I was acutally looking at Volvo S40s and Audi A3s, but stopped by the Buick dealer on whim. Overall, the Buick had more HP and standard options than the others, but most importantly, it has a much better warranty! I liked the fact that Buick stands by their product for 100k miles! I am pleasently surprised!

Love the car, except it uses oil. First 3000 miles, used two extra quarts, dealer says drive it and it will get better. Second 3500 miles, used one and a half extra quarts of oil. I quess this is better, but I don't think good. Dealer says keep watching it and one quart in 3000 miles is acceptable. Maybe to him but not to me. I ask that it be recorded on my record. Hope they did it. If it doesn't improve, I going to try going to Buick.
