2000 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"This Buick ain't my '92 Regal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window regulator, window regulator, window regulator, and I suspect very soon... window regulator.
General comments?
The window history on this model is a disgrace.
A/C is very loud and controls are a nuisance. Not tactile at all. Give me temp sliders, not digits. How does one know that he wants it 2 degrees cooler or 12 degrees? Doesn't remember certain settings such as airflow direction. Takes 4 steps to blow cold air at my face. What's the point of "Auto" anyway?
Also, absolutely worst console/cup holder design imagineable. There are still coins from the previous owner rattling around in the abyss below the cup holder and I'll never get them out. Put some change in the cup holders and flip it closed if you want to play the magic disappearing coin trick. The cup holders themselves are two different sizes (!) and neither one holds a standard 12-ounce can. I kid you not.
Otherwise, a decent ride and dependable, exc the windows, of course.
