Buick Lucerne Reviews

"The materials are top-notch, the design is clean and elegant and represents a huge step forward for GM in cabin appointments. Small items, like passenger grab handles and coat hooks, feature damped hinging. The seats are large and comfortable; however, a bit more lateral support is needed to match the car's athletic dynamics. The instruments are clear and simple and the controls are straightforward and easy to use."

"Acceleration is fully adequate with the V6, while the V8 provides brisk response, though we'd like to see Buick upgrade to a five-speed automatic."

"Buick styled the Lucerne to have a clean and attractive look. It's nothing too exciting."

"Though standard features are plenty, common near luxury items like full one-touch windows, a split fold-down rear seat and either a telescoping steering wheel or power-adjustable pedals aren't available."

"All engines are mated to 4-speed automatic transmissions driving the front wheels."

"The Lucerne's solid body, big passenger compartment and able road manners might just be the prescription Buick needs to lure doctors back from luxury imports."
