"An all around great car"

General comments?
A truly great vehicle from Buick.
The car starts like brand new, runs and idles clean and smooth.
Apart from the repairs listed above, this car has required only general maintenance to keep it running.
I would have never thought a Buick could have so much power. The 3.3L V6 really pumps for such a heavy car. I've clocked it's 0-60mph at around 7.8 seconds.
The best part about this vehicle is the ride. I drives and rides like a dream and I sometimes drive it just for pleasure. If your looking for a dependable, affordable, and comfortable way to get around this is the car for you. If you want style then this is not for you. The car is very plain with a lot of hard lines and a lot of chrome trim.
