1997 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"Superbly comfortable and good gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Amazingly comfortable car with lots of room and space. Powerful engine with good fuel economy for its size.
I have been adding about 1 ounce of 100% acetone (you can get it in the paint section of Wal- Mart in a blue and yellow colored container) for every ten gallons to get good gas mileage. It also improves the power plus a superb mileage. Drive on both highway and city, it went 498 miles on 15 gallons which is about 33.2 miles per gallon for city and highway combined at a speed of 70 on highway and 50 in cities.
I don't know why would you anyone to buy a Japanese car if it can give you a much better and comfortable ride and extreme reliability.
The suspension is going bad and needs to be changed as the ride has become a little bouncy.
