1984 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"Lots of room - lots of zoom!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission replaced before I bought it.
Replaced A/C compressor at 85000.
Replaced antennae at 90000 (got stuck).
Replaced headliner at 101000.
Replaced several turn signal bulbs.
Usual interval service for oil/brakes/fluids.
General comments?
It's a living room on wheels! Super comfortable, but with lots of zoom when you floor it. Cabin is quiet, and car floats down the road in classic Buick style. Very solid feel, built like an elegant tank.
Size is serious. Interior great for big drivers/riders. 6 passengers is no problem. Trunk is massive. Front end has more metal than some whole cars. Yet it gets almost 20 mpg!
I usually drive it in the summer. Rear wheel drive not the best in Minnesota winter conditions.
Favorite car to take to the drive-in restaurant. Fun to sit in and socialize.
Classic style, classic statement: solid, comfortable, elegant, powerful.
