2005 Buick LeSabre review from North America
"Great car, nice styling (and I'm seventeen)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both horns have had to be replaced on the car 3 times, since my grandma has owned it. It is very inexpensive part and not a big deal. They rust and stop honking.
General comments?
The car is very good in the performance department (not anywhere near grandma's '96 Aurora) but it is still very good. Acceleration is VERY good for such a big car. The transmission shifts flawlessly. I don't think the seats are very comfortable; they sit to low for me, grandma agrees. The leg room in the Lesabre could be better, my Aunt's Impala has better room in the rear. I will say the material the seats are made out of is very nice and durable. On a recent trip, we got 30.1MPG at 70MPH all day long. The radio has a really nice sound, Base is adequate. The CD player displays track information, and FM radio station information. The car has independent suspension, which gives the car a smooth ride. I like the light feeling of the steering wheel in my hands, it is light and responsive.
