2002 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"Great car, but a little plain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Haven't had any problems.
The cruise control switch broke at 32,000 miles fixed for $65.
General comments?
This car is an excellent car for a medium size family. It is very roomy and comfortable, and can seat three in the back with no trouble.
Interior is comfortable, but the styling is plain. Wish it had buckets in the the front instead of a bench seat.
Rides very nice, but has a ton of body roll around even moderate corners.
The more I drive vehicles with the 3800 Series II and III engines, the more I like them. The engine moves the car with lots of zeal for a full size car, and even pushes you back in your seat. The transmission shifts very smooth, and in over drive keeps the engine running at about 1550 rpm at 60 mph. Best of all, we still get 26 to 32 on the highway while sitting in comfort. A four cylinder Camry won't do that.
This is an American car that shows the reliability that all should have.
The color of our car is a little bland, and I wish it was white or red instead of bronze, but I do really like the wheels. Great car.
