1980 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"A real bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the radiator at 82,000 miles.
Replaced the muffler system at 82,000.
Replaced the flange at the crossover pipe - rotted out at 82,000.
General comments?
The car rides like a dream, smooth going over bumps, barely notice them.
Acceleration is responsive.
Getting 22.8 miles to the gallon on highway, 18 miles to the gallon in city.
Body and frame hold up very well.
Interior is like a Cadillac - velvet seats and lots of padding. Roomy, can fit up to six people in the car very comfortably.
Mechanically is very sound. Owned it for two months, not too many things have gone wrong besides normal maintenance.
