1995 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"Good low-cost luxury type car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing (knock on wood)
General comments?
This has been a pretty good car; I've owned it now for almost 3 years.
Haven't had to do a thing to this car other than normal maintenance issues. Rides pretty comfortably; on long trips doesn't hurt your back. It's also well-optioned. A lot of people don't like it because it looks like an old person's car, but it's been a pretty decent car, which I find surprising given the fact that it's built by GM.
Car gets really good gas mileage - close to 30mpg on the highway in level areas, 24-25 around town. Trunk is huge, but really annoying the way it's designed because the hinges crush anything underneath them and if you open the trunk when it's wet (say if it's raining or you just got done washing the car) water pours into the trunk.
Also the wind noise is somewhat higher than you'd expect in a "luxury" car.
Otherwise, I've enjoyed this car which is why I still have it.
