I have gotten more compliments on this car than any other car I have owned. I love the look, the ride and the luxury. Nicest car I have ever owned.

The hybrid option is not a success. The gas mileage averaged about 26mpg in mixed highway/town driving, Not as advertised. The non-hybrid version has much better performance. The dash options have separate controls for almost everything. I have to search and test every change which is unfriendly while driving. The On Star is no substitute for a built-in GPS system. The car has poor visibility out the back and the front. The front end (nice styling BUT) scrapes up against every stop-block and scrapes off the paint......it is too low to the ground.

poor engineering

blind spot because of the large frame between roof line and dash. Dangerous with left turns. Also, poor design of drainage tubes or channels whatever they are called. Almost every time it rains hard, I have a puddle on the floor of the passenger side rear and have to blot it up with a towel. Twice I had it cleared with dealer to the tune of about $300 and it keeps happening so I live with it. Not what I want to do but can afford to keep going back to the dealer who admits they have no cure for this. I do. Don't but a Buick. I am sure the newer models have the same system so avoid this.

Bought it new and has been a great car. All the bells and whistles with good gas mileage and a great ride. No major maintenance issues at all.
