1986 Buick LeSabre Grand National review from North America
"The best car I've every driven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced a transmission @ 78,000 miles, due to adding slippery-5zero transmission enhancer to the fluid. The transmission did not like that.
General comments?
Everything else is still doing OK. I wish America could put this type of quality into everything we build. I feel if we could have such proven quality and engineering today, this would help boost our American pride. Yeah, I know the rich boys are going to drive what they want anyway, and that's OK. Give us back the Old, but New Le Sabres.
I'm glad I had the chance to drive this car..
