1995 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"Reliable boat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has so far gone wrong with the car. Had the car for 8 months, put about 16,000 on it, and other than general maintenance, oil changes, cleaning the brakes, a fuel filter, a brake light bulb, and I had a wheel balance done. It has been a great car. It does leak a little oil from the intake manifold area. Other than that, great car. Would recommend the 95' LeSabre to anyone.
General comments?
It's a rich mans Chevrolet, and a poor mans Cadillac.
For it being a 1995, I feel it was a technologically advanced car. Simple OBD 1, Series 1 3800 Liter engine. A change oil soon oil monitoring system. Passenger side climate control system. Dynaride suspension; the car rides like a dream.
Dash and interior are nice, and arranged well for driver comfort. Fake chrome trim, and wood grain dash are great accents for the car.
Seats are comfortable, made for a delicate 80 year old's butt.
3.8 has enough power to drive normally.
Exceptional fuel mileage, I've seen that thing get almost 29 MPG. Great for a 1995, a larger, heavier car.
3 way stereo system makes for great sound separation and upgrading.
Not a lick of rust on it. This older LeSabre looks and has more useful, practical features on it than a new or newer Buick.
I don't see what people see in Mercedes Benzs, BMWs and Lexus, and Infinitis. America has all the luxury people need.
