Love my CXS

Traded my 2003 Deville DHS for it. I like the styling, car looks nice with the 18 inchers. Ride is better than my old Deville and the seats are more comfortable also. The handling and steering are tight with the magnetic ride control and steering. The acceleration seems much better than the Deville too.

I went to a local car lot, me and my wife test drove about 4-5 vehicles before test driving my Lucerne. She had her mind set in getting a newer Malibu. my car dealer strongly suggested to try the Lucerne out and take it for a test drive. The second I sat down and wrapped my hands around the steering wheel i knew this is my new car. I never wanted to own a Buick before, but I am so happy and glad that i choose this car it has everything! such a smooth ride, with nice acceleration. All the features come in hand while living in NE Ohio, heated seats, heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, heated window washer etc...I bought my car 1/4/22 with only 94 thousand miles on it and plan to to keep it as much as possible and looking forward to 3-5 hundred thousand miles of driving it ! btw I named her Lucy! Lucerne - Lucy lol

New Lucerne Owner

I am a big man (60" waist 32" inseam) so finding a vehicle that I fit in is the first step. I am quite comfortable with plenty of leg room, its a little squeeze in and out but I took it for a 300 mile drive and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the heated steering wheel and seats, and that was something that I really didn't want but to get the features I wanted they came on the car. The turning radius is not as tight as I would prefer. The blind side alert and lane alert work quite well. Those are two feature I wanted. The night driving is excellent, my old vehicle had too much reflection and glare. I hope to drive this for a long time, my first two tanks of gas are in the 20 mpg range.

Not your daddy's Buick

I have been an SUV guy for a while and really shopped hard for a larger car before deciding on the Lucerne. I drove several comparably priced imports and found nothing that offered the luxury of the Lucerne as well as the roominess. I also drove a Caddy STS. A nicer car, but much more money. I found the CXS Lucerne holds its own pretty well against the Caddy. The styling is elegant inside and out without being boring or too "mature" looking. The car handles well and has plenty of power. The Northstar engine has all the pickup I could ever want. By far, a must have on this car. The ride is quiet and comfortable. I have not given anyone a ride in this car who hasn't commented positively.

2008 Lucerne

My lease ran out on a Jeep Cherokee and I was in the market for a BMW, Lincoln, Audi or Toyota. I stopped by my local GM dealer just to see what the Buick Lucerne was all about. It had all the amenities I wanted and I loved the ride and handling. I wanted a comfortable car and a safe car. I got a great deal because it is a 2008 and GM was in the midst of financial problems. I did not go to any other dealer. I knew what I wanted and got the price I wanted. I plan on keeping my Lucerne for a long time. As a road warrior, I want something safe and comfortable. I bought it.
