I’ve owned this vehicle for 2yrs.

I’ve owned this vehicle for 2yrs. I’ve put 20k miles on it. I wish I test drove it on a more reasonable road with faster MPH because this car has zero power. I feel like it takes ages to get to 50Mph and I can feel the cars behind me getting impatient. I have maintained it very well as far as oil changes, brakes, and fluids. I didn’t have any issues the first year. This past year I have put over $3000 into it. It started with the catalytic converter. When I brought it to my mechanic for this, he told me once these go in Buicks, everything else goes downhill and advised me to get rid of it asap-and he was right! A few months later I was back because it was doing this strange bucking every time I stopped and it would completely die out. That day I had to replace the turbocharger lines. Exactly 4 months after that, I was back and had to replace the turbocharger itself. Since then, we have been trying to bandage it up to get it to last me one more year but I don’t think I’ll get that far with it. I’m at 72k miles. The only thing I like about it is the interior design. The seats are comfy and look sharp with the leather around the fabric cushions. The dashboard area is black with some leather so I do like how it appears to the eye. There’s a tiny center console that sits really low and I find myself constantly trying to rest my arm on it. There is an arm piece that moves up and down but the arm piece sits too high up for me. The gas mileage isn’t the best for the engine size. Overall, I’d rate it a 2. I definitely wouldn’t consider purchasing another.
