TAKEN by the LOOK
I bought a 2006 a few months ago with approximately 138000 miles on it. I loved the look of the SUV and the visibility was great Unfortunately for me I bought a lemon. The first thing was the rack and pinion $250, then steering column $500, then EVAP system $400 now the throttle body and temperature hoses $475. Also the transmission gasket is leaking don't have a price for that yet. The SUV is taking up a lot of anti-freeze which I am told may require a intake valve manifold seal replacement no price for that either. Had to put 4 new tires $300, brakes $135 and ailment $75 which I expect as maintenance. The repairs have cost more than the total price of the car which was $1350. The retail price for the car currently in good condition to sell will only be $2100 If i can sell it for that. I will be out the amount I paid for the car.

New Buick
Thi is our first Buick. It is a lot roomier and better riding than we expected. It is quiet and gets very good gas mileage for an SUV.
Had to trade Ol' Bessie in...
I wanted so badly for the SUV to perform up to my expectations, and it did... for a while. Bought my 2006 in 2008 with 48k miles on it. High, but I got a great deal. The ride was always smooth and quiet, styling was great in the front and inside- the hatchback styled rear is terrible, and the split panelling on some models- ugh! Horrendous. Sadly over 4 years the wiring went out underneath the car which made it stop... mid drive. I replaced the radiator, there were yearly replacements to a wheel bearing, and my fuel level indicator crapped out so I regularly ran out of gas. Finally the A/C drain hose pretty much ruined my interior with mold and I finally had to trade it in.

Go to the Mountains
A well designed and comfortable car. My wife began driving it when new and now I have it. (OK, I did buy another!) We like to travel in the Buick and find the ease of driving a real plus. Access to controls, reaction of the car to my comands and fuel economy is great. We average 25 on the road and 19-20 in town. Recommend this car to you. The only problem has been that my wife likes the 2007 evan better!!
