Superlative Value

Lucky for me that no one wants a sedan nowadays. I like sedans and I got an awesome deal on an auto that meets all my needs: comfort, quiet, roomy, efficient, classy. The eAssist 4 cylinder has plenty of power and I averaged 38 mpg on the highway. Buick quality is top-tier.

Good balance of comfort and performance.

V6 has smooth power delivery. 9 speed transmission is smooth. AWD is great for South Dakota winter driving. Quiet cabin while driving 80mph on the Interstate. Some creaks and rattles when you hit pot holes.

Very well designed and built

We were looking for an all wheel drive vehicle that was larger than our Buick Regal GS. Car is very comfortable performs and handles well. Love the exterior styling. People look twice thinking it’s a European sedan
