I love the leg room in the Lucerne.

This is my fourth Buick and second Lucerne. It is a great car with a comfortable ride. The car was in fabulous shape with low miles. I'm upset the no longer make them.

Very Nice Ride

Bought this car a few weeks ago and made a road trip to Minneapolis, Minnesota about 10 days later. Lots of room and a very comfortable ride make me happy to say that I own it.

I Love My Lucerne

I inherited the Lucerne from my mother. I is loaded my options including bluetooth phone connection, USB port, On Star, Sirius XM, leather interior, heated power seats, 6-way adjustable front seats, adjustable lumbar support, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, plenty of leg room and trunk space, flex fuel, driver and passenger separate thermostat settings, and who knows what else that I have yet to discover.

Comfortable ride and big trunk.

Overall good vehicle. Good road trip car. Last of the old style big Buicks. Not a bunch of unnecessary electronics.

2011 Buick Lucerne, engine problem V6 3.9L

Purchased this 2011 Buick Lucerne V6 3.9L used in 2015 with 69,000 miles on it. Had about 98,000 on it when the engine just stopped and would not turn over at all. Had it towed to my mechanic and he found that a steel valve seat they put into the aluminum heads had came loose and fallen into the cylinder and put a whole in the block. My mechanic did research and found that this had happened to other Lucerne's of this same year. Replaced the engine with a used one from a 2012 Lucerne because he said they corrected it that year. Otherwise, love the way it drives and rides. Very comfortable ride. Have not had any other problems with it.

Great overall vehicle and features for the money.

Great features, ride, and interior room. This is my second Lucerne and have had good reliability. Also, decent gas mileage given the size of the vehicle. For long trips or just around town, this is a good pick.
