Used 2007 Buick Lucerne Consumer Reviews
The best car I've ever owned!
Great ride and handling. Great styling. Sportier looking than Toyota Avalon or Cadillac DTS (two of my other considerations). Lots of head and leg room both front and rear (and I'm 6'1"). Interior layout is great (all cotrols are right where they should be). Quality is first class. Not one problem to report after six months of ownership. Forget the Northstar V8 and stick with the 3800 V6 engine. Its a solid engine with a long track record. I had it in my '92 LeSabre and it was still going strong at 200,000 miles. Getting around 22 MPG in town and averaged 31 MPG highway on a recent 700 mile trip.
Poor Visability on Left Turn
When making a left turn, the side view mirror and the wide A pillar block your view of the road. Car was delivered with a faulty Body Control Module (computer) resulting in intermittent error messages. My 2001 Park gave a smoother ride. Fit and finish were very good. Complex electronic driver controls are difficult to master,esspecially for seniors.
It is not a Park Avenue by any standard
The seats are too small and the seats do not cool as they should. The entry and exit system is a laugh. The only real problem I have had is vibration. I took it back to the dealer, but it did not help. It is not a good buy at $33000.
Nice, quiet, and fun to drive
Owned this vehicle for a week now. Great ride! Quiet cabin interior. Has all the options that I was looking for in a luxury car. It is like I am riding on air. Engine is quiet and I barely notice it--only in high exceleration. Ride is smooth and car handles well in traffic. Recently, JDP has given this 2007 Buick Lucerne a favorable quality rating with Lexus. No problem operating the features of the car and; handles well on the highway and; so far good milege in the city. Some consumers have made quality complaints about their car and I have yet to experience them. Overall, so far, no lemon here! Again, for me this is a fine luxury car not at the high end price!
2007 Lucerne CX owner for 11 years
This has been a great car for the 11 plus years I have had it. Very smooth ride and acceleration, beautiful looks, and very reliable. Unfortunately, things changed all of a sudden when the car reached 60,000 plus miles last November. I heard a warning bell and lost engine power all of a sudden, the engine light turned on, and I got a strange message, "Reduced engine Power" on the dashboard. I stepped on the gas, the car hesitated, and then got up to about 40 MPH but it didn't feel right, like the engine was lacking its usual power. I took it to my reliable local mechanic, he changed the throttle body, but the next day the dreaded message came on again. I took it back and this time my mechanic changed the accelerator sensors. Just when I thought everything was good, I got that bleeping message a third bleeping time! My mechanic this time said there may be a problem with the throttle body wire harness. He took a look at the wires, which were a little damp but otherwise ok, and cleaned and tightened them. This seemed to finally solve the problem. I'm just hoping I never see that horrible "reduced engine power" message again. I'm retired and have high property taxes, getting a new car is out of the question, so this Lucerne has to last indefinitely! If I should ever get another car, though, it won't be a GM vehicle. It'll be a Toyota Camry or a Subaru Legacy. When I was a kid, buying a GM car was like buying a piece of the rock, whether it was a Buick, Oldsmobile, or even a Chevy. Not any more. GM doesn't know how to make decent cars anymore, trust me.
