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.
Many flaws in design

Electrical flaws. Constant headache. Pull the onstar fuse and trim the mtal parts on bottom of the backseat above fusebox. Make sure to condition the drive belt with water repellent and always carry a spare one...and 15mm wrench as you WILL be putting them on in heavy rain. Drill a hole the trunk to drain water. Here we see that engineers are overpaid ignoramouses and GM business executives are no less than amoral crooks.

Underrated beauty

2009 Buick Lucerne CXL Special Edition 4dr Sedan (3.9L 6cyl 4A)

We bought this car from the dealer with 5000 miles on it, it was used as a customer service vehicle. It has every option I can think of since it is the special edition. plenty of power, comfort. Gas mileage consistantly exceeds rating. My wife averages 23.5 in town and we get 28 on trips to Arizona or Chicago. Quiet and smooth is the keyword here
Car okay but transmission whines

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

Traded a 96 Caddy for this in May. After driving a few days, found that the transmission whines loudly in the 15- 30 MPH range. This is the 4T80E transverse transmission which only comes with the 292 on the Super and the Cadillac DTS. GM has a bulletin out on this but a design change projected for early August did not come through. Totally unsatisfactory. GM knew about this way back in 2007 but didn't tell anybody. All other aspects of the car are really good except, as noted below and disappointing MPG. My Caddy got over 30 MPG on flat land and this only gets 25. My 1984 Olds 98 still gets 27. I guess that's progress for you.
