The Big Cush Car I Have Wanted for Years

On a recent trip a friend offered us a ride in his Lucerne. After about 5 miles I asked if it was new and he responded he had had it for two years. When I said I would like to take a look at a new one when my wife and I were back home, the friend said, "Too bad, they stopped making them in 2011". That convinced me to look at the internet where I found the top of the line 2011 Lucerne with less than 24,000 miles on it that I bought. Seems to have been on a 36 month lease since it was first acquired in July 2010. As of now my wife and I are happy as clams with it, and have driven Buicks since 1990.

Hard to find these days

I looked for a year. Wanted split bench seat. So roomy. Goes when I want not too heavy. Fishing cooler will fit in rear seats.

Disappointed

The cup holders are inadequate, you can't get two cups in them without them catching on one another. The console storage is way inconvenient, you have to reach behind you to get anything out of it. Not enough storage places, even in the doors it's too shallow to put anything in safely. The dash rattles like cheap plastic and the steering wheel squeaks when you turn it. The visibility is horrible in that car!! I am very disappointed that we have spent so much money at our age on a car that is such a disappointment. It rides very nicely and is very comfortable but that's it.

Buick Lucerne

This is my second Buick Lucerne and am sorry to hear it has been DC'd. It may not have all the bells and whistles as others in it's class. But, I must say overall it has and is a great car...one of the best road cars I have ever owned. I put over 25,000 miles per year at least on my work vehicles and this Lucerne is tops overall the others I have had in most all areas. Based on price/value it too is the best I have ever owned and creature comforts its tops. I don't need a car that goes 0-60 in record time...who does really! And, its not a total dog either. Thank You Buick a truly great American Automobile!

Nice quiet smooth ride

Seems like a really nice car only wish the car stereo system sounded better. Good value for the money when compared to other luxuary cars.

Excellent car

I've owned two of these and have been well satisfied with the both of them. The overall performance has been excellent. The car has the needed power and is spacious for carrying extra people and luggage. The gas mileage has been excellent. 2011 is the last year General Motors will make this car and a new car is still available at some dealers. GM is providing big cash back for this car which makes it more attractive purchase.

Classy ride

My new ride is extremely comfortable, classy, roomy and reliable. Over the years I've had my love affairs with Olds and Pontiac, but since they are gone forever, I decided the Lucerne was the closest I could come to my favorite car - the Bonneville SSE. No question about comfort and convenience. I would have liked it to have a little more pickup (like the SSE), but then the Lucerne is more luxury and less sports oriented. All in all, very happy with this car.

2nd Lucerne in a row. Love it.

This is the 2nd Lucerne I've bought and we love it. The ride is very special and the comfort unlike anything we've owned since a 1988 Oldsmobile 98. On Star is great, sound system is above average. Storage in console is adequate, car is quiet and the outward appearance is attractive. Our dealership in Sarasota is the best and the 2nd reason we continue owning the brand.

Rolling Luxury

The Lucerne is rolling luxury. The quietest car I have ever driven, with wrap around pleasure. Understated just enough to be noticed.
