Buick Lucerne first impression
I've only had the car about 2 weeks. The car rides very smooth and quiet, the engine has adequate power and good throttle response. The suspension feels tight and does not lean much in the corners with aggressive driving. The transmission shifts perfectly. So far, gas mileage seems very good. The cabin is roomy and comfortable, but the front bucket seats are small and could be more supportive. The dash gauges are not that easy to read - too deeply recessed and not well-illuminated. Steering wheel button controls are not easy to read and the buttons are too small. So far I've found it to be a solid value in a 12 year-old car.

My "Views"
After having this vehicle for about a month, it rides like a dream, except it "won't get out of its own way. There are several concerns that are certainly safety issues. The passenger side headrest virtually blocks the drivers view when trying to see through the rear side window. Front pillar/outside mirror combo on drivers side creates blind spot. Message center display is difficult to see when wearing polarized sunglasses. Same conditions probably exist with all models of this design.

Steering is FAR too heavy.
Steering weight (effort to turn the wheel on my 2010 Buick CXL v6) is FAR too heavy. Ponderous, heavy, over-weighted, lacking in power steering, etc... This vehicle is not a pleasure to drive, and does not drive as its Buick namesake would suggest. There is mercifully a little steering play at higher speeds, but one really has to make an effort to turn this thing at any speed. Not something you can fan around town or steer with your pinky. Not very luxury/premium. Not very "Buick".

A fine car
The so-called experts are wrong. The 2009 Buick Lucerne Super is a good value. I looked at the Toyota Avalon, Lexus, Infiniti, and Cadillac DTS and STS. The Lucerne Super was hands-down the best value. Have put almost 7,000 miles on it since mid-Sept.09 (I travel a lot) and it has been very enjoyable.
The most comfortable car in existence
LUCERNE is best car ive ever owned. I have a 2010 Lucerne CXL V6, its fantastic!! extremely comfortable ride quality! Man does the air suspension make a difference over traditional suspension! quality extremely comfortable seats that are plush, wide and just satisfying to sit in. I love that you can push the seat belt clip down under the seat so it truly feels like a recliner on wheels!, easy to drive, comfortable to turn steering wheel, excellent shifting transmission! Responsive and accurate, quick to shift tuned for good MPG! quiet, refined driving experience. It's fuel efficient on the highway if you accelerate slow and drive it right/hypermile. The engine also has a ton of low-end torque, So it can accelerate up to cruising speed at an impressive 1200 RPMs! To be honest I don't know any other car that can accelerate up to cruising speed while using such low engine power. It's very impressive. If you drive it right and accelerate at those super low RPMs you get surprisingly good gas mileage! I get almost as good as a 2.4 L 4 cylinder MPG. Engine idles super quiet and chill, can't even feel the engine when in park! Fantastic radio with high quality speakers, aux port. Easy to use cruise control, heated steering wheel. Stylish-ish! The tail lights look like a VW Passat. And the portholes make it looks fancy. Stylish interior gauges! Quality headlights that light up the road effectively. It's just a super satisfying car to drive
