Lucerne Super

2008 Buick Lucerne Super 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Have driven Cadillacs for over 27 yrs, my last being a 2001 DHS. First Buick ever. My Buick Super is giving me excellent performance. No wind noise. Fuel economy is what is to be expected with a 292 HP Northstar engine, (20mpg city driving) and absolutely fun to drive. A great many options comes with this vehicle. I've also saved several thousand by buying the Buick over the Cadillac with just about all the same options. Completely satisified

I just bought a used 2008 Lucerne with 70,000 miles . Clean, runs great. I love it. I was a Lesabre owner for 20 years, but this is luxury at non-luxury price. Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?

We owned this vehicle from mile 12 til I was rear-ended by a gravel truck. It had 120,000 miles on it and going strong after 11 years of ownership. It broke my heart to learn it was a total loss from the insurance side. That engine will go another 75,000 easy. I hope they do sell it to someone who needs it, I kept great care of it. This car was a tank and I always felt safe in it. I am 60+ years old and I don't drive like a fiend, that helps.

'08 Super Value with Lousy Fuel Economy

Got a great deal on a leftover new Super ($31.7k out the door) when my '07 DTS was pulled ahead by GM. Ride has softened somewhat with break-in, but the magnetic ride control is still firmer than in my DTS. Knew I would have to replace the standard Bridgestone tires in order to make the ride acceptable. Replaced tires with Goodyear Assurance Comfortreds (235/55/18) which adds about 1/2 inch to the tires diameter and about 1/4 inch to the car's ride height. The tires made a big difference when compared to the hard riding and noisy Bridgestones. The car, at 2,600 miles, gets about 18 mpg combined vs. 20 mpg with the DTS. This may be due to the performance tuning and the final drive ratio.

Trading in my 2000 Lesabre with 142000 miles I expected a big improvement> Not so! Rattle in front end, trunk doesn't open but half way, wind noise is terrible, engine has no power> Quiet tune? they must have forgotten to do this one, 67 MPH very annoying drive train noise. sun visors not even close to what was on the 2000. Mileage is not as good either. can't reach door handles to close doors. Plastic push pins used in many places all loose.
