1988 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"A smart buy for a beginner that wants a little power, without the price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In April of 2003, I replaced the front brake pads.
In May of 2003, I replace the windshield wiper blades.
General comments?
This car looks like an old pappy or granny car. However, don't let the looks fool you. I is a super fast car that really doesn't look all that bad.
It handles wonderfully!
The column shifter hits my knee if I go into a lower gear than Over-Drive. That's the only thing I really hate.
The doors are so long and so heavy.
The seats are so comfortable!
Even at 119,000 miles it still get around 21-22 miles per gallon. (That's on Mountainous Roads)
