Currently the longest running car I own

Not entirely sure if we are differentiating between the CXL,CXS, or other models. But I have a Buick Lucerne CXL V8 with a north star engine. I’ve put over 207,000 miles on it and the only major repairs I’ve had to do, is a timing re adjustment, and a suspension rebuild. Granted I live in an area with tons of potholes and I’m sure that had a major factor in it. Either way this is currently the most reliable vehicle I’ve got and have ever had. No engine rebuilds, no major body problems, except for rust in some weird places. I’ve got no underbody rust, but I’ve got some rust in the middle of the 2 drive side doors. Plenty of boot space. And plenty or legroom.

It has been a great ride!

I got this car from my grandpa a few years back. It is almost 15 years old with 135,000 miles and still going strong. Not necessarily a dream car looks-wise for a young woman, but it has all the electronics you could want for 2020 and some serious comfort. I drove this baby for 16 hours and I was still comfortable!

2006 Buick Lucerne

Buick Lucerne 2006. Is the worst car I have ever owned. I will never buy a Buick product again in my life. I have spent so much money on this car. Replace the transmission 2018. And will be replacing it again next week. I've replied so many parts on this car is ridiculous.

Most reliable car I’ve owned

I e had my vehicle almost a year and it is just as reliable as the day I bought it thanks to Subaru’s quality of inspection and part replacement

Fell apart at 95,000 miles

I inherited the car 5 years ago from my mother. It ran perfect until 95k miles. Everything went wrong. I spent 7000 dollars on the car in 2 years. I got the car free so I decided to spend the money. Factory brakes replaced at 95k Traction control module 700. for the part 200. to program it. Water pump Motor mount Re:turn routers they shimmy. Now they shimmy again leaky head gasket Oil pan leaks but not willing to pull the front end off the car to replace the pan gasket. Squeaky van belt power steering pump Front end CVE boot Power steering in the front end. It goes on and on. Motor and granny have been fine.

Luxury & comfortable all in one car!

This is a smooth ride no matter if your going for a short trip down the street or a long ride out of town, it's roomy in the front and back and the heater is amazing. From freezing to toasty warm in less than 5 minutes, your going to love getting in this when the temperature drops outside. . It has a very sophisticatedengine, that will tell you whenever it needs anything, and even the windshield wipers don't need you to control them, they come on, speed up and slow down all on thier own, keeping your windshield clear perfectly.

Very reliable, safe family car

I use this car in between leases because I put too many miles on my leased car. This car is very heavy and I feel very safe driving it. A little bit on the larger side from what I am used to but a great car overall. The turning radius is quite large and it takes a bit more to stop it than my little Mazda so that is something to keep in mind when purchasing. YouTube blind spots that I was not comfortable with, I upgraded my radio system to have a backup camera and Bluetooth. The sound is top-notch with the stock Harman Kardon speakers. That is one huge thing that I miss when moving on to the new lease. The features for this 2006 model had more than my 2014 car. I'd highly recommend this car for reliability, safety and comfort.

Great Ride for a family

This Lucerne CXL with 152.000 trouble free miles is a plush ride with plenty of power and all of the comforts of a luxury vehicle. My wife loves her Lucerne and has had it for 8 years and the only reason we are selling it is because we purchased another Lucerne CXL with 29,000 miles on it so that we can have one for years to come. The body has held up very well and the 3800 engine is the most dependable one that GM has ever built.
